Environmental DNA‐based RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a assay for on‐site detection of chironomid larvae in aquatic environments

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2458-2467, March 2026.
An environmental DNA (eDNA)‐based recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA)‐CRISPR/Cas12a assay enables rapid, specific, and on‐site detection of chironomids, supporting early warning, and ecological monitoring in freshwater environments. Abstract BACKGROUND Freshwater chironomid midges pose a significant threat to drinking water quality and ...

Polyester Microfiber Dynamics in an Estuarine Semi‐Enclosed Basin

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Polyester microfibers are one of the most abundant microplastics in marine ecosystems, yet their observed near‐surface concentrations are inconsistent with expectations based on their density. To study the mechanisms governing polyester microfiber transport and fate, we developed a Lagrangian particle‐tracking module using Parcels to simulate ...

Computer Vision Detects an Association Between Gross Gill Score and Ventilation Rates in Farmed Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Poor gill health compromises the health and welfare of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) by causing respiratory distress and increased ventilation frequency. Poor gill health is caused by numerous factors, including amoebic gill disease (AGD), jellyfish stings, and toxic algae, and is monitored by fish farmers by manual ‘gill scoring’. Gill

Environmental Enrichment in Aquaculture: Linking Welfare Goals to Practical Applications

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector globally, comprising freshwater and marine species reared under highly variable farming contexts, ranging from extensive earthen ponds to intensive recirculating and sea‐based systems. Together with growth, production has also intensified, and the welfare of fish farmed in these systems

Development and Field Testing of a Cavitation-Based Robotic Platform for Sustainable In-Water Hull Cleaning

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Biofouling on ship hulls significantly increases hydrodynamic drag, fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, while also facilitating the spread of invasive species in regional and global waters, thereby threatening marine biodiversity.

Marine Biofouling and Fisheries

Marine Biofouling and Fisheries
Marine biofouling occurs on the bottom of boats, fishing gear, nets and the surface of underwater construction materials, as well as on the surface of living and nonliving marine organisms. It causes great damage to marine and fisheries industries. This paper discusses some of the biology of marine biofouling organisms and the relationship between ...

Influence of Surface Topography on Marine Biofouling

, 2014
Marine biofouling, associated with the accumulation of marine colonizers on submerged surfaces, has been a longstanding problem. Among different surface properties, cell substrate interaction is strongly influenced by surface topographies. Therefore, in this work responses of representative marine fouling species were investigated in relation to ...

Bioactive coatings to control marine biofouling

, 2009
The colonization of immersed surfaces by a myriad of marine organisms is a complex, multi-stage, species-specific process giving rise to economic and environmental costs. This unwanted accumulation of organisms in the marine environment, called biofouling, has been attacked from different fronts, going from the ‘problem-elimination-as-problem-solving ...
