The Use of Suspended Substrate to Facilitate Juvenile Mussel Recruitment in Restored Mussel Reefs

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Mussel reefs have been depleted globally by overfishing and habitat degradation, but the advent of reef restoration has produced promising results in terms of adult mussel survival and biodiversity enhancement. However, an absence of juvenile recruitment into restored mussel reefs is regularly cited as jeopardising their persistence and expansion. This

Distribution and Abundance of the Bioeroding Sponge Cliona sp. in Oyster Populations of Ostrea chilensis Across New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Bioeroding sponges are recognised pests in shellfish fisheries, as their boring activity can reduce market value, contribute to oyster mortality and cause economic losses. In New Zealand, bioeroding sponges in the shell‐burrowing alpha form are frequently observed in shells of the flat oyster Ostrea chilensis, a historically and culturally important ...

Current Status and Trajectory of Macroalgal Restoration in Aotearoa New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Macroalgal forests dominate many rocky reef ecosystems across Aotearoa New Zealand, spanning a broad latitudinal gradient from subtropical‐to‐subantarctic waters. These habitats are characterised by high diversity and structural complexity, supporting productive coastal food webs that provide for numerous culturally and economically important species ...

Marine Algae‐Derived Starch and Polysaccharides for Sustainable Bioplastics: Processing, Properties, Environmental Performance, and Future Prospects

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2026.
Marine algae‐derived starch represents a sustainable feedstock for biodegradable bioplastics due to its renewability, rapid growth, and minimal land and freshwater requirements. This review examines starch extraction, bioplastic synthesis, material properties, biodegradation behavior, environmental performance, applications, and commercialization ...

Marine Plug Flow Bioreactors Provide a High‐Throughput Assay of Potential DOC Bioavailability

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.
Abstract Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) forms the largest reservoir of reduced carbon in the ocean, yet its bioavailability and the microbial processes governing its transformation remain poorly constrained. Traditional seawater batch cultures have been indispensable for measuring bioavailable DOC (BDOC), but their long incubation times and limited ...

Conventional and Emerging Protein Ingredients in Farinaceous Products: Amino Acid Quality, Digestibility, Biological Value, and Functional Performance

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The increasing demand for protein‐enriched foods has renewed interest in farinaceous products as widely consumed and technologically adaptable matrices for nutritional improvement. However, protein enrichment cannot be evaluated solely by increases in crude protein content, as nutritional value depends on essential amino acid (EAA) balance ...

Global Change Is Reshaping Coral Communities and Threatening Reef Physical Functionality

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 11, November 2026.
Sequential stressors selectively remove sensitive, architecturally complex coral species, shifting reefs from foundation‐species to opportunistic communities. As diversity, structural complexity, carbonate production and functional capacity decline, coral cover may remain stable.

Temporal variability of sea surface temperature affects marine macrophytes range retractions as well as gradual warming

open access: yesScientific Reports
Record mean sea surface temperatures (SST) during the past decades and marine heatwaves have been identified as responsible for severe impacts on marine ecosystems, but the role of changes in the patterns of temporal variability under global warming has ...
