New in-situ remote sensing instrument successfully deployed during annual phytoplankton coastal survey on board RV Tom Crean. A new Imaging Flow Cytobot instrument, which has the capacity of imaging up to […]
Antarctic krill valuable for storing carbon. Small marine crustaceans are as valuable as key coastal habitats for storing carbon and should be similarly protected, according to new research. The study […]
Bigger and better Shetland reaps the rewards of integration. A programme of investment, consolidation and restructuring has produced ‘game-changing’ results in Shetland since Scottish Sea Farms acquired Grieg Seafood almost […]
Snow crab collapse due to ecological shift in the Bering Sea NA Fisheries scientists attribute the abrupt collapse of snow crab in Alaska to borealization, or an ecological shift from […]

‘Virtual taxonomist’ in training to protect fish farms from toxic algal blooms. A hi-tech underwater device that scans water samples for potentially dangerous algae blooms – the first of its […]
Breeding better oysters in the USA. NOAA Fisheries and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service launched a new, state-of-the-art Northeast Oyster Breeding Centre in June 2024. The centre […]
Antarctica likely a carbon storage powerhouse. Antarctica is probably storing much more carbon than previously thought, according to NIWA. Two rare surveys were conducted by the National Institute of Water […]
Climate change shrinking fish. Global warming increased competition for food in the 2010s, leading to decreased fish weight in important fishing areas. Fish weight in the western North Pacific Ocean […]
Study shows link between climate change, oceanic circulation and dinoflagellates. Researchers from the Marine Biological Association (MBA) have led a study to discover why dinoflagellates are declining in northern regions […]
