Thus, it has the potential to host a large diversity of phytoplankton species. In this context, we propose a comprehensive checklist of documented marine phytoplankton species in this region. To this end, we have compiled all the published material and supplemented it with original data from two comprehensive surveys, the ABRAÇOS surveys, covering the shelf, slope, and offshore areas of Northeast Brazil. Even if few articles were atrieved from our review research, a total of 719 phytoplankton taxa are reported, including 98 new records plus 45 potential new records from the ABRACOS data. Most taxa are accompanied by a comprehensive library of illustrations. The two major phytoplankton groups, dinoflagellates and diatoms, contributed similarly to the total checklist richness, which is consistent with the global phytoplankton diversity. The contribution of nano- and microphytoplankton varies between areas. The shelf displays a greater diversity of pennate and small/medium-sized diatoms. This may be attributed to the inputs from estuarine rivers as well as the resuspension of benthic diatoms. Conversely, dinoflagellates are more prevalent offshore, demonstrating their adaptability to changing nutritional conditions, by employing numerous metabolic and growth strategies to survive. This checklist, which reveals an remarkable diversity of nano- and microphytoplankton in Northeast Brazil, provides a valuable reference for scientists and managers to monitor community evolution under global change<strong>.</strong></div></div>","PeriodicalId":21070,"journal":{"name":"Regional Studies in Marine Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142578890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is urgent to conduct research on the resilience of marine economic systems to effectively address such crises. Based on scientific connotation of marine economy resilience, we established an evaluation model encompassing four dimensions: resistance, recovery, readjustment, and update. Using the adaptive cycle model, we analyzed the spatio-temporal evolution and stages of marine economy resilience at the regional, provincial, and municipal levels within the Bohai Rim Region from a multi-dimensional perspective. Our findings were as follows: (1) The evolution of the resistance dimension of marine economy resilience in the Bohai Rim Region exhibited higher volatility, while the other dimensions demonstrated favorable development trends. (2) Compared to Tianjin-Hebei and Shandong, Liaoning was more susceptible to disturbances, with the update dimension being the dominant contributor to overall resilience at the provincial level. (3) At the municipal scale, both resistance and update capabilities displayed significant spatial correlation patterns. (4) Cangzhou, Yantai, Binzhou, Weifang, Rizhao, Qinhuangdao and Tangshan experienced both positive and reverse transformation cycle, while the other cities were in a positive cycle. Finally, we proposed targeted policy recommendations for each evolutionary stage.

The lengths of scour hole were 9.8 m and 5.1 m along the flood and ebb directions, respectively. Flood-dominated currents intensified the horseshoe vortex, resulting in an approximately 10% deeper scour hole on the flood face than the ebb face. The periodic occurrence of bidirectional currents generated vortices that facilitated the mixing and redistribution of seabed sediments, forming a gentle slope within the scour hole. The average slope angles ranged from 14° to 16° on the flood face and 6° to 8° on the ebb face.

In this context, Artificial Reefs (ARs) have emerged as one of the promising solutions. They are generally implemented to provide habitat, to create a protective, physical boundary, to support sustainable fisheries and to facilitate ecosystem rehabilitation. Evaluating their ecological performance is crucial to ensuring they meet their objectives. Initially, assessment relied on comparing ARs to natural reefs using mainly ecological metrics which focused on fish assemblage and dynamics. Despite there being more research and documentation on effectiveness today, assessing ARs remains challenging due to the number of environmental factors that can affect the ecological systems. Moreover, ecological studies mainly used metrics that investigated the reef fish populations or ecological metrics such as fish assemblages or trophic structure that are often overlooked in studies that primarily focus on commercial fishery dynamics. Therefore, new ways of assessing artificial reef performance and the set-up of comprehensive metrics which integrate this level of complexity are needed. In this study, we focused on the \"Rade de Cherbourg\" in the English Channel, employing a trophic modeling approach using Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE). The study emphasizes the importance of Ecological Network Analysis (ENA) metrics for evaluating changes in the systems’ properties—such as complexity, flow diversity, and recycling capacity— which result from AR implementation. Furthermore, we identified which metrics are suitable for assessing specific AR objectives. The proposed metrics serve as a command-and-control tool for AR site managers, enabling them to evaluate the performance of each AR objective effectively.

To recover the body length of fish consumed by seals based on otoliths found in their feces, applying inverse calculation formulas obtained when studying the relationship between otolith growth and fish body growth using collection material obtained directly from fish is possible.
