“…A range of schemes have been suggested for payment for ecosystem services (PES), 195 , 196 , 197 although valuation of ecosystem services is not always financially focused. 198 Nevertheless, of particular interest to many in aquaculture is the use of certified credit schemes, where organisations purchase credits from the aquaculture producers to compensate for, or offset, their own emissions or environmental impacts, whether they are nutrients or carbon.…”

Marine aquaculture has the potential to increase its contribution to the global food system and provide valuable ecosystem services, but appropriate planning, licensing and regulation systems must be in place to enable sustainable development. At present, approaches vary considerably throughout the world, and several national and regional investigations have highlighted the need for reforms if marine aquaculture is to fulfil its potential. This article aims to map and evaluate the challenges of planning and licensing for growth of sustainable marine aquaculture. Despite the range of species, production systems and circumstances, this study found a number of common themes in the literature; complicated and fragmented approaches to planning and

“…Seaweed, encompassing a diverse range of macroalgae, plays a pivotal role in marine ecosystems, acting as a cornerstone for food provision, reproduction facilitation, and habitat creation for myriad marine organisms. Esteemed studies by Alavian et al (2018), Schutt [1] et al (2023), and van den Burg [2] et al (2022) have underscored the indispensable ecological and biological significance of seaweed, highlighting its vital contribution to the overall stability and sustainability of marine ecosystems [3][4][5][6][7][8]. As a prolific source of dissolved organic carbon, seaweed significantly enriches coastal waters with essential nutrients, including carbohydrates, polysaccharides, nitrogen, and polyphenolic compounds.…”

Seaweed, including various species of Ulva (e.g., Ulva intestinalis, U. fasciata, U. lactuca, and U. rigida), is essential for maintaining the balance of aquatic ecosystems. These algae are found worldwide and have a high growth rate in diverse habitats. This article analyzes the composition of these Ulva spp (including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and ash). It also investigates the environmental factors that affect their growth and composition, such as pH, temperature, water depth, salinity, and nutrient availability. Understanding the variations in composition and environmental influences among Ulva spp highlights the importance of studying their ecological impact and genetic diversity.

“…The growing worldwide awareness of bioinvasion as a major cause of global biodiversity change and its associated negative impacts on the environment, economy, and human well-being has attracted the attention of scientists, policy makers, and the general public. Research on bioinvasion into the marine environment has increased in recent decades as the marine biota in many regions has undergone rapid changes due to the introduction of non-native species [6][7][8][9][10]. In European seas, the number of newly introduced marine non-native species has increased from 6 to 21 per year since 1970 [10].…”

Sustainable Management of High-Impact Non-Native Molluscs and Their Potential Commercial Importance in the Eastern Adriatic Sea

2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Molluscs, especially bivalves, play an important role in food production and are the dominant group in mariculture worldwide. They are also an important component of the marine ecosystem, influencing the food web and nutrient cycling, as well as creating and modifying habitats. In the Mediterranean Sea, about 578 non-native species have been reported, including 230 taxa of non-native mollusc species. In most regional European seas, including the Mediterranean, the socioeconomic impacts of high-impact mollusc species have generally been poorly studied, and only a few well-documented cases have been reported. The present study collects scientific information on non-native molluscs in Croatian waters that are classified as high impact according to the European Alien Species Information Network EASIN: one Gastropoda—Rapana venosa—and seven Bivalvia species—Anadara kagoshimensis, Anadara transversa, Arcuatula senhousia, Brachidontes pharaonis, Magallana gigas, Pinctada radiata, and Ruditapes philippinarum. This study aims to fill the gap in the literature on high-impact non-native molluscs in the eastern Adriatic Sea through reviewing the literature on examples from other European seas, focusing on the possibility of commercialization and sustainable management of high-impact non-native molluscs. The invasion of non-native molluscs must be managed appropriately, especially if commercialisation is chosen as a management strategy. Additional management measures must be selected and objectively evaluated, taking into account the specificities, location and feasibility of the proposed measures. The study could help researchers, decision-makers, and the public to address the problems with high-impact species in the Adriatic countries, but also in other regions where the monitoring of high-impact non-native species is still inadequate. In addition to Croatia, the monitoring and management of these species is also important for other countries in the eastern Adriatic: Slovenia, Montenegro and Albania.
