Effects of wave-powered water pump upwelling on kelp mariculture: a case study for Gulf of Maine
This study investigates the feasibility of wave-powered upwelling to enhance kelp mariculture productivity in the Gulf of Maine, a region experiencing nutrient limitation and seasonal warming. Through a coupled physical-biogeochemical model calibrated with empirical oceanographic data, researchers estimate that wave-powered upwelling can reduce water temperatures by 1.0 ± 0.15 °C and increase nitrate concentrations by 0.1−1.1 µmol L−1, potentially yielding an additional 9.5%–10%+1.6% kelp biomass annually. This framework highlights wave-powered upwelling as a promising, scalable strategy for sustainable aquaculture, as further explored
Research on China’s green total factor productivity of aquaculture industry and its influencing factors
Assessing the green development performance of China's aquaculture industry is crucial for sustainable resource management. This study utilizes a rigorous, longitudinal analysis of panel data (2009–2023) from 38 Chinese provinces to measure Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) and identify key influencing factors. Employing the Super-SBM model and GML index, findings reveal significant regional disparities and highlight technological progress as a primary driver of growth, particularly in freshwater aquaculture.
