The marine environment is affected by the increasing presence of microplastics (MPs;< 5
mm), and the seafloor acts as a sink for these particles. Locations with different predominant …

Marine soft sediments play crucial roles in global biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity.
Yet, with organisms often hidden in the sediment, they pose challenges for effective …

This review paper elaborates on the Asian moon scallop (Amusium pleuronectes), focussing
on both wild populations and its aquaculture. A. pleuronectes is one of the most widely …

The bioaccumulation and trophic transfer of chlorinated paraffins (CPs) in deep-sea
environments are vital, but no information is currently available. In the present study, CPs …

Abstract Microplastic particles (< 5 mm) have been observed to be widely distributed in the
oceans, from estuaries the deep ocean trenches. While plastic pollution in the marine …

Integrating Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) data (bathymetry and backscatter) and
underwater video technology allows scientists to study marine habitats. However, use of …

Climate change influences the distribution of many marine species. To project the
biogeographical changes of benthic mollusks in response to climate change in the Yellow …

We assessed the ecological uniqueness of fish and crustaceans in traditional fishing
grounds from a tropical shallow marine ecosystem, where bycatch is historically high …

A lack of data hinders effective marine management strategies for developing island states.
This is a particularly acute problem for the Commonwealth of Dominica. Here we use …

Seagrass beds are important habitats in the marine environment by providing food and
shelter to dugongs and sea turtles. Protection and conservation plans require detail spatial …
