AI Article Synopsis
- The fish carrying capacity of a water body indicates how many fish can sustainably thrive without additional feeding or fertilization.
- The study on Shengjin Lake highlighted that specific fish species yield significant amounts annually, with silver carp at 1.5 million kg and bighead carp at 1.295 million kg.
- It concluded that with a maximum carrying capacity of 3.385 million kg, the lake's aquatic vegetation needs protection and restoration for sustainable fishery practices.
Article Abstract
The carrying capacity of fish is related to the sustainability of fisheries' activities in water bodies. The fish carrying capacity of a water body is the maximum fish yield that can be carried by the natural bait organisms in the water body under the ideal natural conditions without feeding and fertilization. The evaluation of fish productivity is an important basis for rational stocking, rational fishing, and the scientific utilization of natural bait resources in a water area. This paper adopts the background data of the Shengjin Lake fishery ecosystem and uses the bait-based estimation method. The results show that (1) the annual yield of silver carp fed on phytoplankton is 1.5 million kg; (2) the annual yield of bighead carp fed on zooplankton is 1.295 million kg; (3) the annual yield of benthos is 310,000 kg; (4) the annual yield of organic detritus is 280,000 kg; and (5) as the coverage of water grass in Shengjin Lake is less than 10%, it should be protected and restored rather than used by fish. In general, the annual maximum carrying capacity of fish in Shengjin Lake is 3.385 million kg, except for water and grass.

Using microwave remote sensing to invert forest parameters requires clear canopy scattering characteristics, which can be intuitively investigated through scattering measurements. However, there are very few ground-based measurements on forest branches, needles, and canopies. In this study, a quantitative analysis of the canopy branches, needles, and ground contribution of Masson pine scenes in C-, X-, and Ku-bands was conducted based on a microwave anechoic chamber measurement platform.

Background/objectives: Agricultural systems face increasing global pressure to address sustainability challenges, particularly regarding land use and environmental protection. In Romania, where traditional diets are heavily dependent on animal-based products, optimizing land use is critical. This study investigates the potential of plant-based diets to reduce agricultural land use, examining scenarios of partial and complete replacement of animal protein with plant protein sources (soy, peas, and potatoes).

: The water footprint (WF) provides information on the impact of individual foods on water consumption, but to better direct food production toward water saving, we need to understand how to reduce the WF of our diets while keeping it healthy. In this study, we compared the WF of healthy diets based on national food-based dietary guidelines with the aim of highlighting changes in dietary patterns that could reduce water requirements without compromising nutritional adequacy. : Three 2000 kcal/day dietary patterns were elaborated following the Italian, Spanish, and American dietary guidelines, and their total, green, blue, and grey WFs were calculated.

The prerequisite for breeding a plant to be used in phytoremediation is its high tolerance to grow normally in soil contaminated by certain heavy metals. As mechanisms of plant uptake and transport of nickel (Ni) are not fully understood, it is of significance to utilize exogenous genes for improving plant Ni tolerance. In this study, from encoding an exporter of Ni and cobalt was overexpressed constitutively in , and the performance of transgenic plants was assayed under Ni stress.
