Article Synopsis
- Methane, although short-lived, has a stronger warming effect than carbon dioxide, and livestock is a major source of methane emissions.
- The study aimed to reduce methane production by supplementing livestock feed with two types of cultivated seaweed and their enzymatic hydrolysates, which showed significant reductions in methane levels (over 75% and 50% in different trials).
- Additionally, seaweed supplementation altered the rumen’s prokaryotic community, revealing important bacteria that help regulate methane emissions, indicating a potential pathway to mitigate greenhouse gases in livestock farming.
Field investigations in the Northwest Pacific Ocean were carried out to determine the distributions of marine and atmospheric non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs), sources and environmental effects. We also conducted deck incubation experiments to investigate the effects of atmospheric aerosol deposition on NMHCs production. The marine NMHCs displayed an increasing trend from the South Equatorial Current to the Oyashio Current.

This study investigated atmospheric and seawater methyl halides (CHCl, CHBr, and CHI) in the western Pacific Ocean between 2°N and 24°N. Increases in methyl halides in the atmosphere were likely to have originated from Southeast Asian regions.
