Effect of Buoy Layout and Sinker Configuration on the Hydrodynamic Response of Drifting Fish Aggregating Devices in Regular Waves

Fishes
Drifting fish aggregating devices (DFADs) are central to tropical tuna purse-seine fisheries, yet their hydrodynamic performance under realistic seas has not been adequately addressed, particularly for emerging eco-friendly designs.

Time-domain hydrodynamic analysis of pontoon-plate floating breakwater

Water Science and Engineering, 2012
The hydrodynamic behaviors of a floating breakwater consisting of a rectangular pontoon and horizontal plates are studied theoretically. The fluid motion is idealized as two-dimensional linear potential flow.

A Method for Identifying Rainfall‐Runoff Events at Sub‐Hourly Time Scales: Applications for Nature‐Based Solutions and Water Resources

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how changes in catchment conditions affect ecohydrology in response to rainfall‐runoff events is crucial when developing informed strategies to enhance flow resilience, restore natural habitats, interpret water quality data or reduce flood risk.

MOORING FORCES INDUCED BY PASSING SHIPS - MEASUREMENTS IN PROTOTYPE

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1980
In the present study the mooring systems of four bulk carriers which were moored at a jetty located parallel to a navigable water were investigated with special regard to forces due to passing ships. The objective of this study was to verify in praxi the present knowledge of moored vessels berthed at more protected sites and to prove proposed models of

A Multi‐Method Approach to Assessing Barrier Effectiveness in Preventing the Spread of Invasive Signal Crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus)

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Relieving barriers and increasing free flowing rivers is a global imperative to restore habitat connectivity for migratory fish stocks. While reducing river fragmentation will certainly improve biodiversity, the spread of non‐native species throughout a river system may be facilitated as an inadvertent outcome.

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Scalable low‐cost seabed landers: the missing link for sustained, integrated, long‐term observations in dynamic shallow seas

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Seabed landers, when equipped with a range of biotic and abiotic sensors, offer a non‐invasive and cost‐effective solution for ecosystem‐scale monitoring of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) in dynamic shallow seas.

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Study on the Anchored Bearing Characteristics of Mooring Pile Foundations in Sandy Soil for Floating Wind Turbines

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
As one of the mooring foundation types for floating wind turbine platforms, research on the anchor pullout bearing characteristics of mooring pile foundations remains insufficient, and the underlying mechanism of anchor pullout bearing capacity needs ...
