Journal ArticleDOI
Biofouling in marine aquaculture: a review of recent research and developments
TL;DR: Recent research and developments on the impacts, prevention and control of biofouling in shellfish, finfish and seaweed aquaculture, and the significant gaps that still exist in aquaculturalists’ capacity to manage it are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Vegetated Coastal Wetlands for Marine Megafauna Conservation
Michael Sievers,Christopher J. Brown,Vivitskaia J. D. Tulloch,Ryan M. Pearson,Jodie A. Haig,Mischa P. Turschwell,Rod M. Connolly +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that coastal wetlands require greater protection to support marine megafauna, and a simple, effective framework to improve the inclusion of habitat associations within species assessments is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automating the Analysis of Fish Abundance Using Object Detection: Optimizing Animal Ecology With Deep Learning
Ellen M. Ditria,Sebastian Lopez-Marcano,Michael Sievers,Eric L. Jinks,Carolyn J. Brown,Rod M. Connolly +5 more
TL;DR: Deep learning methods provide a faster, cheaper, and more accurate alternative to manual data analysis methods currently used to monitor and assess animal abundance and have much to offer the field of aquatic ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of human-induced environmental change in wetlands on aquatic animals
TL;DR: The lack of knowledge of individual‐level responses to anthropogenic changes to natural wetlands may limit the capacity to manage wetland ecosystems effectively since ecological traps require different management practices to mitigate potential consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correcting common misconceptions to inspire conservation action in urban environments.
Kylie Soanes,Michael Sievers,Yung En Chee,Nicholas S.G. Williams,Manisha Bhardwaj,Adrian Marshall,Kirsten M. Parris +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the tendency to overlook the conservation value of urban environments stems from misconceptions about the ability of native species to persist within cities and towns and that this, in turn, hinders effective conservation action.
