Summary: Mussel aquaculture heavily relies on wild mussel populations for the supply of juvenile mussels for seeding farms. This study used hydrodynamic models to identify potential parental areas for green-lipped mussel spat across different settlement sites in New Zealand's largest aquaculture area. The results showed seasonal variations in parental areas and dispersal distances, with relatively minor inter-annual variability. The study also revealed regional variation in the potential for self-seeding and exporting mussel larvae to other areas. Understanding these dispersal and connectivity patterns is crucial for the management and conservation of parental populations and for ensuring the sustainability of shellfish farming operations.

Summary: Shellfish aquaculture has rapidly expanded, generating over 10 million tons of shell waste annually. The reutilization of shell waste is crucial for environmental protection and promoting the circular economy. Despite its limited economic value, shell waste is often disposed of in landfills, resulting in resource wastage and coastal ecosystem degradation. Recent research has focused on various applications of shell waste in different industries to support large-scale and high value-added utilization.

Summary: This study introduces a novel composite material based on 3D spined fabrics and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which achieves mechanical stability and hydrophobic surface properties by penetrating the shell component into the core material. This approach aims to address the limitations of pure PDMS as a biofouling-release material and revolutionize biofouling management in aquaculture.

Summary: The expansion of aquaculture, especially shellfish ponds, in China has led to mangrove deforestation and blue carbon loss. CO2 efflux from shellfish ponds is significantly higher than that from adjacent mangrove forests, mainly due to high nutrient levels and physical disturbance. Therefore, curbing aquaculture pond expansion and increasing mangrove restoration are necessary actions to address this issue.

Summary: The oceans play a crucial role in regulating the earth's climate by controlling the concentration of atmospheric CO2. This study in the southeastern Mediterranean Sea reveals that non-biological aragonite precipitation could account for 15±3% of the reported CO2 efflux from the sea surface to the atmosphere in that region, suggesting its importance in the global carbon cycle. Future changes in the oceans may affect this process and increase the alkalinity and buffering capacity of atmospheric CO2.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of high energy environments on slender gravity salmon fish cages in offshore aquaculture. A Finite Element Method (FEM) model was used to simulate the responses of the cages to different load conditions. The results showed that symmetrical orientations of the cages experienced lower anchor line tensions. This study provides valuable data for the design of offshore aquaculture anchors in high-energy regions.

Summary: Studies in North America on the effects of CO2-induced low pH in bivalve aquaculture are mainly focused on the US Pacific coast, with limited research on species from the northwest Atlantic. Exposure to reduced pH was found to increase the rate of reproductive development in both male and female eastern oysters, but also led to higher larval survival, reduced shell height, and increased deformities during spawning, fertilization, and embryo incubation. Further research is needed to assess the bioeconomic implications of reduced pH on aquaculture operations in Atlantic Canada.

Summary: This study uses a scope-for-growth-based model to estimate the budget terms of bivalve aquaculture as a carbon sink. The model is applied at 12 Mediterranean sites using operational oceanography data. Results show that mussels act as slight sinks if all components of the budget are considered. Differences in calcification and soft tissue contributions to the budget are related to site-specific factors, allowing for the creation of meta-models for optimal site selection.

Summary: This work provides important insights into the crystallization and morphogenesis of different polymorphs of CaCO3 in seawater at high temperatures. The researchers successfully modified the crystallization of CaCO3 by controlling the Ca source anions, resulting in stable and intricate particle morphologies. They demonstrated that various CaCO3 morphologies can be generated in seawater without the use of surfactants. The study also investigated the influence of different Ca source anions on the morphological changes of CaCO3. The findings provide a comprehensive understanding of how source anions affect the selective formation and morphological tuning of CaCO3 polymorph, which can be applied to tailor the synthesis of CaCO3 for specific applications.

Summary: The Chukchi Sea is becoming a larger sink for CO2 due to rapid climate changes. Understanding the seasonal variations in air-sea CO2 exchange and the biogeochemical dynamics is crucial for predicting the impacts of climate change on the ocean and the feedbacks. The study finds that thermal and non-thermal effects have different impacts on sea surface CO2 levels and air-sea CO2 flux in different water masses. The findings also highlight the importance of phytoplankton stoichiometry in CO2 uptake.

Summary: The translation introduces a one-dimensional time-dependent model of early diagenesis called RADI. RADI integrates chemical reactions, advection, diffusion, and bio-irrigation processes and is specifically designed for the study of deep-sea sediments containing calcium carbonates. It combines organic matter degradation-driven CaCO3 dissolution with a diffusive boundary layer and incorporates state-of-the-art parameterizations for CaCO3 dissolution kinetics in seawater. RADI is the first diagenetic model implemented in the programming language Julia and is also available in MATLAB/GNU Octave.

Summary: This study investigates the physical and biogeochemical processes in recently discovered submarine sinkholes on Luymes Bank, Caribbean Netherlands. The measurements reveal the presence of a gas bubble plume, which contains an acid lake with low-oxygen and acidic seawater. The acid lake actively dissolves the carbonate platform and may provide a novel mechanism for sinkhole formation and growth. The conditions within the acid lake reflect extreme impacts of proposed climate change mitigation schemes. Other sinkholes on Luymes Bank may serve as venues for studying the impacts of anthropogenic CO2 uptake by the ocean.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
