Occurrence of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) in drinking water systems [PDF]

, 2011
Numerous membrane fouling studies have been conducted to predict and prevent membrane fouling. It was only recently that a new parameter, TEP, was introduced in this research.

Integrating multiple sensor modalities for environmental monitoring of marine locations [PDF]

, 2008
In this paper we present preliminary work on integrating visual sensing with the more traditional sensing modalities for marine locations. We have deployed visual sensing at one of the Smart Coast WSN sites in Ireland and have built a software ...

Advancing Environmental DNA Methods for Monitoring the Reproduction of Quagga and Zebra Mussels in Lakes

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive alien mussels threaten freshwater ecosystems worldwide by disrupting food webs and nutrient cycling. The effective monitoring of these populations is therefore essential to assess their spread and ecological impacts. This study demonstrates the applicability of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to monitor the reproductive periods of ...

Spatiotemporal Forecasting of Mediterranean Blue Mussel Biofouling Settlement to Inform Aquaculture Management

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, June 2026.
Mediterranean blue mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) settlement significantly influences aquaculture productivity and biofouling management in New Zealand's coastal waters due to its rapid colonization of farming infrastructure and its competitive interactions with cultivated species.

Sargassum polyceratium (Phaeophyceae, Fucaceae) surface molecule activity towards fouling organisms and embryonic development of benthic species [PDF]

, 2011
International audienceCoral reefs have undergone profound ecological changes over recent decades. Areas formerly covered by scleractinian coral species are now often overgrown by macroalgae.

The Occurrence of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish in Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastics are polymer‐based particle compositions of various toxic chemicals with size less than 5 mm. Due to their small size, microplastics can be ingested and accumulate in body tissues of organisms. This raises concerns about their toxicity being transferred to humans via food consumption.

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

Effects of biofouling on the sinking behavior of microplastics

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Although plastic is ubiquitous in marine systems, our current knowledge of transport mechanisms is limited. Much of the plastic entering the ocean sinks; this is intuitively obvious for polymers such as polystyrene (PS), which have a greater density than

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...
