Despite international waters covering over 60% of the world's oceans, understanding of how fisheries in these regions shape ecosystem processes is surprisingly poor. Seabirds forage at fishing vessels, which has potentially deleterious effects for their population, but the extent of overlap and behavior in relation to ships is poorly known. Using novel biologging devices, which detect radar emi...

In the Camamu-Almada basin, marine fishery is exclusively small-scale, with several structural deficiencies such as boats with low or absent navigational technology, lack of credit and low income. Local fishers complain that shrimp and lobster trawling fishing is the main factor responsible for low stock abundance, but they still persist in these activities as these two species command the high...

In general, molding or FRP ship molds can only produce 1 (one) hull shape. This is of course, contrary to the production ships which are mostly customize type (based on consumer demand) and very rarely in form mass products sister ships. The high cost allocation certainly makes economic considerations regarding shipbuilding. With aim a friendly fishing boat price, it make mainstay ease burden a...

Many seabirds are attracted to fishing boats where they exploit foraging opportunities, often involving bycatch-related mortality. Bycatch risk is generally estimated by overlapping ranges with coarse-scale monthly maps of efforts, but a more direct estimation would be the time birds actually spend attending boats. Here we matched data from Automatic Identification Systems all declared in South...

Diuron (DCMU; 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea) concentrations were analyzed at 24 sites along shorelines of Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands in September 2019. The diuron ranged from <0.6 to 32 ng l-1. Slightly high as 19 l-1 observed a fishing port mooring point for boats Ishigaki, respectively, implying contamination likely antifouling paints boats. A slightly concentration (14 l-1) was ...
