In this context, changes in the distribution and resource status of marine organisms require urgent study to ensure current exploitation are sustainable. Lophius litulon (family Lophiidae) is a demersal marine fish that is distributed in the northwestern Pacific constituting an important part of the catches of neighboring countries.

The marine environment is extremely diverse, with huge variations in pressure and temperature. Nevertheless, life, especially microbial life, thrives throughout the marine biosphere and microbes have adapted to all the divergent environments present. Large scale DNA sequence based approaches have recently been used to investigate …

This chapter provides an overview of the international and national regulatory framework pertaining to deep seabed mining activities. It begins by discussing the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the backdrop for all marine activities – be they national or international – and examines the obligations of states to protect the marine …

Marine species were frequently identified in the faunal assemblage from the inland site of Saruq al-Hadid, dating from the Bronze Age to Early Iron Age (c.2000–c.800 BCE). This included marine fish species, along with two cormorant species (Phalacrocorax sp.) and several fragments of dugong (Dugong dugon). Twenty-seven families of marine ...

Each year across the ICES Area, approximately 100 million m³ of sand and gravel are extracted from licensed areas of the seabed (as described in Chapter 2) as a source of aggregate for the construction industry, either to supplement land‐based sources or as a source of material for coastal beach nourishment. As land-use constraints and …

Meanwhile, our Marine sand, Washed sand, and Vibro sand cater to a myriad of construction applications, serving as the ideal foundation for buildings, roads, and other structures. For specialized projects, our Black sand and Lastillas offer unique properties that contribute to their specific applications, while our Aggregates provide versatile ...
