Forecasting Green‐Lipped Mussel Settlement via Feature Engineering and Random Forest Regressor
Spat settlement is vital in the life cycle of green‐lipped mussels (Perna canaliculus) and in the aquaculture industry, particularly in New Zealand. Spat, the juvenile stage of mussels, settle on substrates like ropes, initiating their growth into adults.

Finding the Best Nursery: How Habitat Features Shape Juvenile Snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) Density
This study examines habitat preferences of juvenile Australasian snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) in northeastern New Zealand, analysing data from 113 stations across structured and unstructured habitats. We investigated how juvenile snapper densities were influenced by environmental factors, including prey availability and physical habitat features ...

Associations of Commercial Fisheries and Cold‐Water Corals and Sponges
Three metrics for determining whether the marine life that are landed by commercial fisheries are associated with cold‐water corals and sponges: (a) Adjacent; (b) General Proximity; and (c) Habitat. The relationship between these structure forming invertebrates (SFI) and fisheries is robust across analytical approaches.

Chasing Fish: 130 Years of Innovation, Displacement and Depletion in Scottish Fisheries
ABSTRACT Rebuilding the depleted fisheries of the 21st century requires an understanding of past drivers of their decline. Despite Scotland's central role in the commercial exploitation of North Sea fisheries for over a century, associations between technological innovations, regulatory introductions and fishery landings have not previously been ...

Tidal energy machines: A comparative life cycle assessment
Marine energy in the UK is currently undergoing a period of exponential growth in terms of development and implementation. The current installed tidal energy capacity of around 4MW is expected to rise to provide up to 20% of the UK’s electricity demand ...

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

Evaluating the Risk of Collision of Seals Swimming Within Metres of Operating Tidal Turbines
ABSTRACT We used imaging sonar to continuously monitor wildlife at an operational tidal turbine in the Pentland Firth, Scotland, between May 2022 and June 2023. Of 704 detected seal tracks, 347 occurred during turbine operation and 122 of these were detected directly upstream of the rotating blades in the horizontal plane.
