This study reports for the first‐time potential predators and competitors that recruited and migrated to floating hapa nets during ocean nursery culture of sandfish juveniles reared in the Philippines. Results indicate that the presence of potential predators and competitors within the floating hapas negatively affected growth performance and survival ...

Life cycle assessment of Indonesian canned crab (Portunus pelagicus)
Abstract Indonesia is an archipelagic country with abundant marine wealth that makes it the world's second largest producer of fish after China. While most of Indonesia's capture marine fisheries (80%) are consumed domestically, around 90% of blue swimming crab (BSC) products are exported, mainly in cans.

The recognition of the high value of mangrove forests and the wide array of ecosystem services they provide has motivated investment in worldwide restoration efforts. However, current metrics of functional restoration (other than seedling survival rates and plant community composition) are often not readily available for local community managers ...

Eutrophication reduces seagrass contribution to coastal food webs
Abstract Food sources and food web structure in seagrass meadows are important determinants of ecosystem functions and services. However, there is little information on the effect of eutrophication on food source contributions and food web structure in seagrass meadows.

The highly rearranged mitochondrial genomes of the crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae) and gene order evolution in Brachyura [PDF]
We sequenced the mitochondrial genomes of the spider crabs Maja crispata and Maja squinado (Majidae, Brachyura). Both genomes contain the whole set of 37 genes characteristic of Bilaterian genomes, encoded on both \u3b1- and \u3b2-strands.

Feeding behavior is the main driver for microparticle intake in mangrove crabs
Abstract As marine plastic debris is primarily sourced from terrestrial input, coastal environments are particularly affected by deposition. Because of their pneumatophores, mangroves have been recognized for their importance in confining plastic waste.
