Abstract Changes in internal and external factors during operation of bottom gill net will affect to catch ability net. The presence marine debris the ocean is predicted influence nets which leads reduction ability. This study aimed identify that lead decreasing calculate due changes hanging ratio caused by debris. Fishing activity using for 10 replications was conducted net’s ability, while re...

Marine debris is considered a threat to the inhabitants, as well marine environments. Accumulation of debris, besides climate change factors, including warming water, sea-level rise, and changes in oceans’ chemistry, are causing potential collapse environment’s health. Due increase plastics coastlines, ocean sea surfaces, even deep layers, there need for developing new advanced technology detec...

Mules Island and its surroundings are included in the Savu Sea National Park (TNP) area administratively Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT). The waters of have a high potential for coral reef ecosystem resources important support marine life. However, current condition anthropogenic pressure continues to increase due an number people living on coast small islands. One pressure...

Bubbles in supersaturated tissues and blood occur in beaked whales stranded near sonar exercises, and post-mortem in dolphins bycaught at depth and then hauled to the surface. To evaluate live dolphins for bubbles, liver, kidneys, eyes and blubber-muscle interface of live-stranded and capture-release dolphins were scanned with B-mode ultrasound. Gas was identified in kidneys of 21 of 22 live-st...

A circulation model is coupled to a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to simulate the transport floating litter particles in the Aegean Sea, Greece (Eastern Mediterranean). Considering different source regions and release dates, simulations were carried out to explore the fate and distribution of floating litter over 1990–2009, taking into account the seasonal and interannual variability of su...

Highlight Research:The potential calorific value of marine debris obtained from calculating the total waste is 12.05 MJ/kg, which still falls within incinerator application's standard criteria. AbstractMarine debris, a global environmental issue today, major threat to Bali’s seas are famous for its natural beauty and aggravated by spread COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed determine characteris...

Wood debris are an important component of mangrove marine environments. Current knowledge of the ecological role of wood falls is limited by the absence of information on metazoan colonization processes over time. The aim of this study was to provide insights to their temporal dynamics of wood eukaryotic colonization from a shallow water experiment in a mangrove swamp. Combined in situ chemical...

Herein we report on the abundance and composition of floating marine debris (FMD) in coastal waters of the SE-Pacific (off the Chilean coast) during the austral summer 2002. The observed FMD consisted mainly of plastic material (86.9%). Densities of FMD were highest between 20 degrees S and 40 degrees S, corresponding to the main concentrations of human population and activities. Low densities ...

Juvenile oceanic-stage sea turtles are particularly vulnerable to the increasing quantity of plastic coming into the oceans. In this study, we analysed the gastrointestinal tracts of 24 juvenile oceanic-stage loggerheads (Caretta caretta) collected off the North Atlantic subtropical gyre, in the Azores region, a key feeding ground for juvenile loggerheads. Twenty individuals were found to have ...
