Spatial Analysis of Maritime Disasters in the Philippines: Distribution Patterns and Identification of High-Risk Areas by Glenn D. Aguilar, Yasmin P. Tirol, Ryan M. Basina, Jamaica Alcedo

“…By utilising accident data from the Philippine Coast Guard and the GISIS IMO databases, spatial analytical approaches were employed to determine incident distribution patterns and resulted in an overall depiction of the likelihood component of risk across the country’s territorial waters. Kernel density and hotspot analysis revealed areas where incidents were concentrated and where statistically significant hotspots occurred. …”

Heart and skeletal muscle inflammation – novel dangerous disease of farmed Salmonidae by V. P. Melnikov, V. V. Pronin

“…The vicinity of the affected areas to Russia, the Gulf Stream passing the Norwegian shore while moving towards the Murmansk Oblast as well as wild Salmonidae migration to the Barents Sea, White Sea and Pechora Sea through the Norwegian territorial waters coupled with high stability of the virus compose high threat of Piscine orthoreovirus introduction to the Russian Federation from the adjacent countries.…”

Detecting Fish Diversity in Urban‐Impacted Ecosystems: A Comparative Approach of eDNA Metabarcoding and UVC by Arthur Chung, Y. C. Kam, Stanley K. H. Shea, Celia Schunter

“…Yet, each survey method featured a distinct species profile with associated trophic guilds, where 98 (32.3%) species found exclusively by UVC and 120 (39.6%) species detected only by eDNA. eDNA featured species from diverse habitats and evolutionary distances, including cryptic and large mobile fishes, offering enhanced prediction on local ecosystem functions. eDNA also recorded 90 putative species that had never been recorded in additional seven yearlong UVC dataset, with seven prospective new occurrence records to the territorial waters. UVC on the other hand was more efficient in documenting reef‐associated species. …”

Application of Rapid Impacts Assessment Matrix (RIAM) in Detecting Environmental Impacts of Chabahar Desalination Plant by Hasan Sayyad, Mohsen Shahriari Moghaddam, Malihe Erfani, Saeed Mohammadi

“…Introduction: With the shortage of freshwater resources, the use of other available sources such as seas and oceans has increased, and new technologies in the field of desalination and treatment of saline waters have gained attention. The territorial waters of the Oman Sea and the Persian Gulf have created strong potential for the establishment of desalination plants for various uses in Iran. …”
