Aquatic Emerging Contaminants and Their Ecotoxicological Consequences
Considering the worldwide problem of aquatic pollution, we proposed this reprint, which presents a collection of articles on different aspects of environmental pollution, from monitoring to the evaluation of toxicity. In particular, the volume…
Sea, River, Lake Ice Properties and Their Applications in Practices
This reprint covers topics on geographical scale of glacier and lake ice variations, as well as the engineering scale of ice properties and their practical applications via laboratory tests and numerical modeling.
Food Chains and Food Webs in Aquatic Ecosystems
Food webs describe the structure of communities and their energy flows, and they represent interactions between species in ecosystems. Recently, we have witnessed rapid development of techniques for both experimental studies and…
Rule of Law in the Progress of Sustainable Fishery Governance
This Special Issue contains 12 papers; in general, it covers the issues of sustainable fisheries governance, dispute settlement, IUU fishing, BBNJ Agreement, and high-seas fishing. In particular, some regional practices are also provided, including…
Duckweed: Research Meets Applications
Duckweed (Lemnaceae) represents a small aquatic monocot plant family presently composed of 36 species. These plants gained importance in recent decades for their applications in wastewater purification, as animal food or human nutrition, as well as…
Mercury and Methylmercury Contamination of Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems
This Special Issue aims to provide new insights into the issue of the mercury contamination of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. This ubiquitous contaminant has been used by humans for many years, resulting in global contamination. When this toxic…
Biomedical and Pharmacological Applications of Marine Collagen
Biomimetic polymers and materials have been widely used in a variety of biomedical and pharmacological applications. Particularly, collagen-based biomaterials have been extensively applied in various biomedical fields, such as scaffolds in tissue…
Metabolic Research in Aquatic Animal Nutrition, Physiology and Disease
Aquaculture supplies large quantities of high-value proteins to human beings and remains the most efficient protein-producing industry. Fish feed is the largest cost during aquaculture practice, and it is of great importance to explore the nutrient…
Advances in East Asian Agricultural Origins Studies: The Pleistocene to Holocene Transition
Scientific understanding about domestication and the origins of food production in East Asia is undergoing rapid change based on new data from archaeology, paleobiology, and paleoenvironmental studies. The earliest agricultural and pastoral societies…
Assessing the Effects of Multiple Stressors on Aquatic Systems across Temporal and Spatial Scales: From Measurement to Management
This book is focused on the interplay of multiple stressors in aquatic systems and its consequences for management across spatial and temporal scales. It is organized into six case studies from four continents (Europe, Oceania, Africa, and North…
