The Utility of Satellites and Autonomous Remote Sensing Platforms for Monitoring Offshore Aquaculture Farms: A Case Study for Canopy Forming Kelps by Tom W. Bell, Nick J. Nidzieko, David A. Siegel, David A. Siegel, Robert J. Miller, Kyle C. Cavanaugh, Norman B. Nelson, Daniel C. Reed, Dmitry Fedorov, Christopher Moran, Jordan N. Snyder, Katherine C. Cavanaugh, Christie E. Yorke, Maia Griffith

“…Underwater color imagery can be rapidly classified using deep learning models to identify kelp outplants on a longline farm and high acoustic returns of kelp pneumatocysts from side scan sonar imagery signal an ability to monitor the subsurface development of kelp fronds. Current sensing technologies can be used to develop additional machine learning and spectral algorithms to monitor outplant health and canopy macromolecular content, however future developments in vehicle and infrastructure technologies are necessary to reduce costs and transcend operational limitations for continuous deployment in an offshore setting.…”

Differences of Macroalgal Consumption by Eight Herbivorous Coral Reef Fishes From the Xisha Islands, China by Peng Wu, Peng Wu, Peng Wu, Peng Wu, Teng Wang, Teng Wang, Teng Wang, Teng Wang, Yong Liu, Yong Liu, Yong Liu, Yong Liu, Chunhou Li, Chunhou Li, Chunhou Li, Chunhou Li, Yayuan Xiao, Yayuan Xiao, Yayuan Xiao, Shannan Xu, Shannan Xu, Shannan Xu, Tingting Han, Lin Lin, Lin Lin, Lin Lin, Qiumei Quan

“…Kyphosus cinerascens, K. vaigiensis, N. unicornis and S. punctatissimus fed on the entire macroalgal thallus, indicating their greater ecological importance compared with species that only consume algal fronds. According to the 18S rRNA high-throughput sequencing of fish intestinal contents, cluster analysis revealed that consumed macroalgae composition from the eight fishes always grouped together based on the fish species, but with low similarity. …”
