New approaches for monitoring the marine environment: the case of antifouling paints
Protection of ships hulls against biofouling has been a problem since man began sailing the seas. The most common protections are specially produced antifouling paints. These paints could be broadly classified in three main groups, or generations, depending on the technology applied: first generation copper-based, second generation organotin-based, and the new, third generation, organotin-free ...

Matrix Gemini LIMS at work in the Nuclear Industry
Bradwell nuclear power station is located on the Dengie peninsula at the mouth of the River Blackwater in Essex. Construction of Bradwell power station began in December 1957 and electricity generation started in 1962. It had two Magnox reactors producing 242 Megawatts of electricity. It could supply enough electricity to meet the combined needs of three towns the size of Chelmsford, Colchester ...

Human pharmaceuticals in the marine environment: Focus on exposure and biological effects in animal species
Marine waters have been poorly investigated for the occurrence of pharmaceutical contamination. Recent data confirm that pharmaceuticals widely occur in marine and coastal environments; therefore assessment of potential risk to marine species needs further efforts. The present paper represents the first extensive review of pharmaceutical contamination in marine environments addressing the ...

Future Development Trend of Underwater Drone
1. Technological innovation will be the eternal theme As a highly technology-intensive and systematic project, underwater vehicle mainly includes six technologies: simulation, intelligent control, underwater target detection and recognition, underwater navigation (positioning), communication and energy system. Compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap in the research ...

Why Innovasea is Leading Canada’s Ambitious Ocean Aware Project
In late July Canada’s Ocean Supercluster announced its Ocean Aware project, a $29 million program to develop new technologies to help maritime industries improve operations while lessening their impacts on the environment. Innovasea is leading the ambitious, three-year project, and we couldn’t be more excited about its potential to reimagine some of the ways humans interact with the ...

The Impact of Flow rate through tanks - Case study
Accurate measurement of flow rate is an important factor in aquaculture research With aquaculture playing an increasingly important role in the provision of global fish supplies, there is a corresponding growth in aquaculture related research to support the industry and optimise its activities. More Information F VA Trogflux rotameter flow meters have been supplied to a number of marine ...

A statistical approach applied to trace metal data from biomonitoring studies
This work underlines the importance of the statistical procedures necessary for the significant assessment of analytical data of heavy metals derived from marine organisms (biomonitors) collected at five stations in Ustica at the Southern Tyrrhenian Sea. The statistical method described indicates that, where the differences among the averages of Pb, Cu and Zn concentrations in the molluscs of the ...
