In Tasmania, Australia, one aquaculture industry that has been significantly impacted by warm temperatures is Pacific Oyster (<em>Magallana gigas</em>, previously named <em>Crassostrea gigas</em>) farming, due to recurring outbreaks of the virus <em>Ostreid herpesvirus 1.</em> Such viral outbreaks are understood to be driven by high seawater temperatures, but the temperature threshold or duration for triggering disease and mortalities remain unclear. This study investigates the relationship between in-situ farm temperatures and oyster disease and mortality on the southeast coast of Tasmania, Australia using daily observations from three oyster growing areas (Pipe Clay Lagoon, Upper Pittwater, and Lower Pittwater) over three seasons. It is found that a 12-day averaged daily mean temperature is an excellent measure of the occurrence of high mortality. Specifically, a 21-day mean of 23.7 °C resulted in a 70% likelihood of high mortality, which is defined here as oyster losses of &gt;15%. On the other hand, for lower levels of disease and mortality, a 12-day average of daily mean temperature gave the strongest relationship. A 12-day mean of 19.7 °C led to 70% probability of some disease and low mortality. The analysis also found in-situ farm temperature generally correlates well with remotely sourced temperature observations, indicating their potential usability for operational management. This study demonstrates a statistical risk analysis framework for the oyster farming industry, helping to improve the understanding of the detrimental impact of high temperatures on Pacific Oysters.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50618,"journal":{"name":"Continental Shelf Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0278434324000037/pdfft?md5=99f99c159c8ecc4900d7fcc07bd50529&pid=1-s2.0-S0278434324000037-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139102806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the nature of this influence has not been well constrained, particularly on current-swept shelves. A variety of bedforms (narrow and broad sediment ribbons, comet marks and subaqueous dunes) are revealed by high resolution multibeam bathymetry and side scan sonar surveys of the mid-to outer “Wild Coast” shelf along the east coast of South Africa. The bedforms demonstrate a relationship to the geological framework of the shelf.</p><p>The various bedforms occur in conjunction with bedrock-incised valleys and topographic depressions filled with transgressive sediment and bounded laterally by prominent rocky outcrops. These sediment sources are siphoned and mobilised by the Agulhas Current to create the contemporary shelf bedforms. Mechanisms of bedform development are associated with the interplay between the loci of sediment supply and associated grain size on the one hand and the current velocity and pathway of the Agulhas Current on the other.</p><p>Sediment ribbons form parallel to the flow path of the Agulhas Current in narrow or broad forms that can be differentiated primarily by sediment grain size. With increased sediment availability from nearby bedrock-bound depocenters these transition along shelf to 2D dunes. A cross-shelf transition to 3D dunes on the outer shelf is marked by increased current velocity, grain size and decreased sediment availability outside of rock-bound depocenters. Rock outcrops affect current velocity and flow paths sufficiently to favour localised deposition over sediment stripping from the shelf. Comet mark forms develop from interactions between availability of finer sediment and perturbations of current flow paths by rock outcrops. This creates conditions that favour localised sediment scouring over deposition.</p><p>With variability in sediment size, grain size and current flow, dunes fluctuate between active (sharp crested), inert (round crested) and degraded (flat crested) states. A lack of available sediment to replenish outer shelf dunes sees prolonged stasis, eventual dune splitting and breakdown under progressive current influence. Mid-shelf dunes have a greater capacity to recover from periods of stasis and short-term degradation due to greater availability of sediment.</p><p>Dune migration rates are slower than previous regional estimates. Reasons for this are inconclusive and may be multifaceted. Possible reasons include inertial constraints, prolonged downcurrent reformation periods and longer dune relaxation associated with coarser grain sizes and a paucity of sediment on the outer shelf coupled with the Agulhas Current core migrating further in and offshore.
