Jellyfish, Forage Fish, and the World's Major Fisherie [PDF]

, 2014
A majority of the world’s largest net-based fisheries target planktivorous forage fish that serve as a critical trophic link between the plankton and upper-level consumers such as large predatory fishes, seabirds, and marine mammals. Because the plankton

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Comparative Assessment and Benchmarking of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Photovoltaic Array Reconfiguration Under Diverse Shading Environments

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...

An Adapted Slipping Process to Exclude Jellyfish in the Sea of Marmara Purse Seine Fishery

Marine Science and Technology Bulletin, 2020
Excluding the jellyfish from the bunt-end is a common slipping process used in the Sea of Marmara purse seine fishery. For this aim, a sheet of netting piece, larger mesh size and thicker diameter, is rigged on the bunt-end of the purse seine net.
