Incidental capture of sharks by fisheries is common, making it critical to assess species' physiological and behavioural stress responses and post-release survival. Previous studies have examined bloo...
There is growing concern about the environmental impact of microplastics, especially on the transport of organic compounds and pollutants in aquatic systems. To further understand the effect of microp...
The thousands of oil and gas (OG) platforms placed at sea for fossil fuel extraction have introduced new hard substrate to the marine environment. Over time, these structures can become colonized by a...
Counterillumination is a widespread camouflage strategy in mesopelagic organisms, whereby ventral light emission reduces visibility from below. While its predator-avoidance camouflage function is well...
Degradation of marine coatings over time is a continuous source of ocean pollution, resulting in the release of paint particles that can leach biocides and other chemical additives into the marine env...
Optical trawl surveys provide a non-invasive method for quantifying groundfish populations and can be used to complement or enhance traditional bottom trawl survey data. This protocol describes the Sc...
Sponges are important members of shallow-water, benthic ecosystems, where they often rely on their microbial symbionts to acquire organic or inorganic carbon. Sponges are also found in the deep sea, h...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) offers a non-invasive approach for monitoring cetaceans, yet its widespread application from operational platforms requires standardized and feasible sampling workflows. This ...
The stomiiforms are a diverse radiation of ray-finned fishes found in pelagic deep-sea environments, with taxa encompassing the barbeled dragonfishes including more than 350 species placed in the fami...
Deoxygenation is driving ecological shifts across vast oceanic volumes. To understand and predict future ocean ecosystem functioning and stability, it is critical to identify the eukaryotic metabolic ...
Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; ∼30 to 150 meters) are major but poorly understood benthic habitats. We used Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) and integrated metabarcoding (mtCOI and 18S...
Ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) is proposed as a potential tool to remove atmospheric CO2 and mitigate climate change. However, the effects of OAE on marine protozoa remain poorly understood. In th...
This study investigated the long-term persistence of drilling waste (DW) in unconsolidated deep-sea sediments of the Ulleung Basin three years after gas hydrate drilling at Site UBGH2-6. Seafloor imag...
Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is one of the most important organic sulfur compounds in the ocean and plays a key role in polar carbon and sulfur cycles. Sulfitobacter sp. M13, a Gram-negative and ...
Managing marine pollution from expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a critical environmental challenge, yet reliable empirical data on the actual recovery burden are often lacking. This investigation address...
As a prevalent congener of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) poses significant environmental and health risks due to its persistence and bioaccumulati...
Paint-derived particles are increasingly recognised as a major contributor to marine microplastic pollution, yet emissions from active vessels under routine operational conditions remain poorly charac...
Antarctica's remote wilderness is increasingly impacted by human activities such as tourism, scientific research, and historical and contemporary exploitation of marine resources. Despite regulatory m...
While chemosymbiosis offers deep-sea bathymodioline mussels a critical metabolic advantage, this dependence makes them vulnerable when removed from their native environment, and their early post-recov...
With the help of harsh propagation environments, reliable data acquisition in UWSNs/UGWSNs may suffer from packet loss a few times, extra communication latency, energy scarcity, and retransmission ove...
