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…
Otoliths are one of the most useful and important biological structures for the various
studies of fish, leading to many practical applications that are not limited only to
ichthyology. It is, therefore, not surprising that different approaches to…

Analysis of long-term, ground-based observation data on the Tibetan Plateau help to
enhance our understanding of land-atmosphere interactions and their influence on weather and
climate in this region. In this paper, the daily, monthly, and annual…
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…
Direct application of anaerobic digestion to sewage treatment is normally only possible
under tropical weather conditions. This is the result of its diluted nature and temperatures far from
those suitable for anaerobic conversion of organic matter.…
Gelatinase A (Mmp2 in zebrafish) is a well-characterized effector of extracellular matrix
remodeling, extracellular signaling, and along with other matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and
extracellular proteases, it plays important roles in the…
