Overexploitation and decline in kelp forests inflate the bioenergetic costs of fisheries

Stephen R. Wing et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of exploitation and changes in organic matter sources on marine food web trophic structure. The results suggested declines in organic matter contribution from kelps and increases in trophic levels of mesopredatory fishes. This data provides insights into the bioenergetics of fish communities in response to exploitation and environmental changes.

Sub-lethal and lethal effects of chronic ammonia exposure and hypoxia on a New Zealand bivalve

Nichola H. Salmond et al.

Summary: Eutrophication-induced hypoxia is a widespread environmental issue that causes stress on marine organisms. An experimental study found that the mortality of estuarine bivalve Austrovenus stutchburyi nearly doubled when exposed to elevated ammonia combined with hypoxic stress. This result can be explained by a positive feedback loop where low oxygen levels cause the bivalve to produce more ammonia waste, increasing their risk of mortality.

A quantitative analysis of organic matter inputs to soft sediment communities surrounding salmon farms in the Marlborough Sounds region of New Zealand

Rebecca M. McMullin et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of salmon farms on soft sediment communities, revealing the biochemical and biomass characteristics of organic matter subsidies and farm activities for soft sediment organisms. The results showed that basal organic matter assimilation and trophic levels of soft sediment communities varied with distance from the farms.
