The ECC method relies primarily on results of dynamic models for simulation of organic loading due to multiple fish farms. In this study, the ECC method was successfully integrated within a methodology under development at Kiel University to holistically evaluate site suitability, ecological carrying capacities at farm-level and system-scale, as well as siting. Results of the application of the methodology for a target aquaculture site in northwest Bali, Indonesia, are presented in this study. Analysis of these results identified traditional fish farms located outside suitable areas and large-scale commercial farm clusters operating beyond ecological carrying capacity. Nonetheless, it was found that production output of the site in Bali is far below ECC and that it could be increased considerably without harming the environment. Recommendations have been made for reallocating the mispositioned farms as well as for reducing fish production of the farm clusters while expanding overall fish production to the east. The ongoing operational early warning monitoring at the site in Bali is being supplemented with regular monitoring of sediment quality in the seafloor and water quality in the aquaculture area to promote sustainable development. The proposed methodology has wide applicability and can be easily adapted to other regions for investigating present conditions and planning new aquaculture sites in pristine regions. The methodology is currently being up scaled to several target sites selected by the Indonesian Government to expand the activity.","PeriodicalId":252910,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oceanography & Aquaculture","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130950719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the harm caused by oil spills in a region, as well as the consequences of oil exploration and extraction on the environment, economy, and politics. The concept of oil spills, their causes, their different types, and the impacts of these calamities on the marine ecosystem are all covered in detail in this review. Oil spill management and response are essential for the environment and society. This review also provides basic information on monitoring oil spills from space. Optical and microwave remote sensing techniques have been used to address oil spill monitoring issues. The possibility of false alarms from lookalikes is the main problem when using radar and microwave data to monitor an oil spill. Therefore, numerous issues must be addressed to detect oil spills in space. It is crucial to combine these technologies with additional approaches such as in situ measurements and ground-based observations.","PeriodicalId":252910,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oceanography & Aquaculture","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123038602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blood biochemical analysis was performed at the end of 84 days by taking the portion of the collected blood and was dispensed into non-heparinised tubes. There were significant increases (P < 0.05) in glucose, aspertate transferase, alanine transferase, and sodium concentrations respectively. The activity of potassium, creatinine and serum protein changed in a non-significant (P > 0.05) manner with increasing concentrations of additive diets compared to the control. Although no definite trend in the values of computed biochemical indices was observed. However, glucose, aspertate transferase (AST), alanine transferase (ALT), urea, creatinine, sodium, and potassium increased with varying additive inclusion concentration. Also, Glucose, ALT, AST, Urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium activities of all the fish, which have been fed ginger additive meal diets were significantly higher (p<0.05) in comparison to their respective control. Results also showed that there were increase in the blood parameters of Clarias gariepinus fed ginger additive meal diets compared to the control diet except in mean cell haematocrit (MCV) but were statistically different (p<0.05). Highest Packed cell volume (PCV) of 31.00% were recorded in diet (GD3), White Blood Cell (WBC), 8.00 x 103 in GD2, and red blood cell (RBC) 8.70 x 106; while highest Haemoglobin (Hb), 11.00 g/dl were recorded in fish fed diet GD3. All blood parameters obtained were between the range of recommended fish blood. It is concluded that using ginger as additive feed on Clarias gariepinus showed a slight increase in the haematological parameters compared with the control diet (GD1) except in MCV but it has no negative effect on the health status of the studied fish.","PeriodicalId":252910,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Oceanography & Aquaculture","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114510145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based upon available sea-surface salinity and sea-surface temperature data, this work shows a practical and simple way to design a sampling strategy with known accuracy for total CO2 and total alkalinity measurements in sea-surface waters.

The study on the zooplankton productivity in polyculture of the three species of fish according to the type of pond was continued from January to December 2019 in the forest zone with binomial rainfall of East Cameroon in order to optimize production fish farming. For this purpose, 32 ponds including 16 bypass and 16 dam were used. The physicochemical characteristics of the water, zooplankton and fish growth were collected monthly according to standard methods. Transparency (42.64 ± 5.40 cm) and dissolved oxygen ((6.32 ± 1.71)*10-3 mg/dm3 )) values were significantly (p <0.05) higher in bypass ponds. Conversely, nitrites ((0.04 ± 0.01)*10-3 mg/dm3 )) and ammonium ((0.30 ± 0.09)*10-3 mg/dm3 )) which were significantly (p <0.05) higher in the ponds of dam. However, no significant difference (p> 0.05) was observed for temperature, pH, nitrates, ammonium and phosphates regardless of the type of pond. A total of 101 species, 33 genera and 20 family of the three groups of zooplankton have been identified in the bypass ponds. On the other hand, 83 species, 39 genera and 22 family have been identified in the dam ponds. The highest density values of rotifers (7 ± 5 ind/dm3 ) and cladocerans (6 ± 4 ind/dm3 ) were obtained in the dam ponds while that of copepods (6 ± 3 ind/dm3 ) was observed in bypass ponds. The highest values of weight gain (390.28 ± 74.04g) and specific growth rate (0.76 ± 0.05%) in O. niloticus as well as those of weight gain recorded (2227.60 ± 392.35g) and the specific growth rate (0.93 ± 0.04%) recorded in H. niloticus were obtained in the dam ponds.

The extracts were tested against 8 clinical strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and a fungal. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of pumpkin, pawpaw leaves and combination with oxytetracycline were determined using standard methods. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The extracts displayed higher antimicrobial properties to the Gram-positive and G negative bacteria and these plants inhibited the growth of all the microorganisms used in the study when combine with oxytetracycline at 10 mg/ml and 30 mg/ml. The diameter of the zone of inhibition of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of fluted pumpkin and pawpaw leaves when combine with oxytetracycline (10 mg/ml and 30 mg/ml) were higher than single application and combination of the two plants with oxytetracycline.
