Key Aquatic Animal Welfare Recommendations for Aquaculture.
(Aquatic Animal Alliance, New York, NY, 2020)This document is intended to provide an overview of what theAquatic Animal Alliance, having consulted with experts globally,has identified as key areas where welfare intervention is mostneeded for animals used in aquaculture. ... -
Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a Baited Remote Underwater Video System.
(Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)Baited remote underwater stereo-video systems, or stereo-BRUVs, are minimally invasive sampling tools used to collect data on the diversity, abundance and size of fishes as well as information on the benthic habitat where ... -
First Application of IFCB High-Frequency Imaging-in-Flow Cytometry to Investigate Bloom-Forming Filamentous Cyanobacteria.
(2021)Cyanobacteria are an important part of phytoplankton communities, however, they are also known for forming massive blooms with potentially deleterious effects on recreational use, human and animal health, and ecosystem ... -
Lessons from a Marine Spatial Planning data management process for Ireland.
(2021)This paper presents a framework containing ten components to deliver a data management process for the storage and management of data used for Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) in Ireland. The work includes a data process ... -
Video demonstrating how to set-up, deploy and operate a shallow-water drop camera system. [Training video]
(Octopi Africa (Pty) Ltd and Array Media (Pty) Ltd, Cape Town, South Africa, 2021)Drop cameras are simple frame-deployed systems of various configurations that are designed to take photographic still images or videos of the seafloor. These tools are non-destructive and can go to beyond SCUBA depths, ... -
Evaluating LoRaWAN Connectivity in a Marine Scenario.
(2021)The growing need for interoperability among the different oceanic monitoring systems to deliver services able to answer the requirements of stakeholders and end-users led to the development of a low-cost machine-to-machine ... -
Long-term passive acoustic recordings track the changing distribution of North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) from 2004 to 2014.
(2017)Given new distribution patterns of the endangered North Atlantic right whale (NARW; Eubalaena glacialis) population in recent years, an improved understanding of spatio-temporal movements are imperative for the conservation ... -
Reference framework for assessing the scientific and socio-economic impact of research infrastructures.
(OECD Publishing, Paris, France, 2019)Research Infrastructures (RIs) are indispensable for enabling and developing research in almost all scientific domains and represent an increasingly large share of research investment. As policy makers, funding agencies ... -
Near real-time marine mammal monitoring from gliders: Practical challenges, system development, and management implications.
(2020)In 2017, an endangered North Atlantic right whale mortality event in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, triggered the implementation of dynamic mitigation measures that required real-time information on whale distributio ... -
Estimating animal population densities using passive acoustics.
(2013)Reliable estimation of the size or density of wild animal populations is very important for effective wildlife management, conservation and ecology. Currently, the most widely used methods for obtaining such estimates ... -
Slocum Gliders Provide Accurate Near Real-Time Estimates of Baleen Whale Presence From Human-Reviewed Passive Acoustic Detection Information.
(2020)Mitigating the effects of human activities on marine mammals often depends on monitoring animal occurrence over long time scales, large spatial scales, and in real time. Passive acoustics, particularly from autonomous ... -
Management of acoustic metadata for bioacoustics.
(2016)Recent expansion in the capabilities of passive acoustic monitoring of sound-producing animals is providing ex- pansive data sets in many locations. These long-term data sets will allow the investigation of questions ... -
Management and research applications of real-time and archival passive acoustic sensors over varying temporal and spatial scales.
(2009)Defining the appropriate scale over which to conduct a study in the marine environment is critical to achieving appropriate scientific, management, mitigation and conservation objectives. This paper focuses on applications ... -
Application Profile for Machine- Actionable Data Management Plans.
(2021)This paper presents the application profile for machine-actionable data management plans that allows information from traditional data management plans to be expressed in a machine-actionable way. We describe the methodology ... -
