This book covers technical articles based on individual contributions from a number of authors working on offshore wind, wave and tidal energy research. Articles describing various aspects of offshore wind, wave and tidal energies including resource…

Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the greatest causes of native species extinction.
Indeed, they represent a global threat for biodiversity and can also affect the economy and human
health. The colonization success of IAS is presumably not…

Coral reefs are known to be among the most biodiverse marine ecosystems and one of the
richest in terms of associations and species interactions, especially those involving invertebrates such
as corals and sponges. Despite that, our knowledge about…

Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is widely used as an initial step towards an assessment
of environmental status. In the present study, underwater ambient sound recordings from two
monitoring locations in marine-protected areas (MPAs) of the Gulf…

Bacterial motility is a widespread characteristic that can provide several advantages for the
cell, allowing it to move towards more favorable conditions and enabling host-associated processes
such as colonization. There are different bacterial…

Aquatic products represent an important food source; they include products such
as fish, shrimp, shellfish, crab, and seaweed, and provide high-quality proteins, fatty
acids, minerals, and other nutritional elements. Generally, raw aquatic…

Marine environmental conditions are highly distinct in the Yellow Sea, the East China
Sea, and the East/Japan Sea, with characteristics such as the shallow and turbid conditions
of the Yellow Sea, relatively warm subtropical conditions of the East…

Sea surface temperature (SST) has been defined byWorld Meteorological Organization
(WMO) as one of the essential climate variables (ECVs) contributing to the characterization
of Earth’s climate. As one of the ECVs, SST study and analysis have been…

Sea surface salinity (SSS) is an essential climate variable [1]. It is a key component of the water cycle,
as a tracer of precipitation and evaporation, river outflow and ice melt/freeze. It is a key driver of oceanic
circulation through its role…

Sea level changes and atmospheric pressure fluctuations, superimposed on these changes, are
of tremendous significance, and should be studied when researching various non-uniformly scaled
processes.
When studying various non-uniformly scaled…
