Article Synopsis
  • Aquaculture has expanded significantly since the 1990s, but the lack of reliable production data hinders effective monitoring of its trends and risks.
  • A computer vision model was developed to analyze aerial and satellite images, identifying marine aquaculture cages and creating a detailed dataset of finfish production in the French Mediterranean from 2000 to 2021.
  • This new method not only enhances the accuracy and speed of aquaculture surveys but also allows for independent production estimates and uncertainty quantification, offering essential tools for researchers and regulators.

Objectives: To examine predictors of state-level COVID-19 vaccination rates during the first nine months of 2021.

Methods: Using publicly available data, we employ a robust, iteratively re-weighted least squares multivariable regression with state characteristics as the independent variables and vaccinations per capita as the outcome. We run this regression for each day between February 1 and September 21, the last day before vaccine booster rollout.
