Marine amphipods (Parhyale hawaiensis) as an alternative feed for the lined seahorse (Hippocampus erectus, Perri 1810): nutritional value and feeding trial [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Finding new alternatives to traditional live preys such as Artemia and rotifers, which do not always promote optimal fish growth and survival, is required for the successful aquaculture of highly specialized predatory species, including seahorses.

Human Impact on the Spatiotemporal Evolution of Beach Resilience on the Northwestern Yucatan Coast
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The northern Yucatan peninsula is prone to coastal flooding and erosion owing to its low-land elevation and high exposure to storms. Therefore, it is important to assess the capability of the beach-dune system to resist, recover, and adapt from storms in

SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, 2022 Simplex identification via split augmented Lagrangian (SISAL) is a popularly-used algorithm in blind unmixing of hyperspectral images. Developed by Jos M. Bioucas-Dias in 2009, the algorithm is fundamentally relevant to tackling simplex-structured matrix factorization, and by extension, non-negative matrix factorization, which have many applications ...

Marine amphipods as a new live prey for ornamental aquaculture: exploring the potential of Parhyale hawaiensis and Elasmopus pectenicrus [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Marine amphipods are gaining attention in aquaculture as a natural live food alternative to traditional preys such as brine shrimps (Artemia spp.). The use of Artemia is convenient for the culture of many marine species, but often problematic for some ...
