In this study, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the phytotoxicity on seed germination and seedling of two rice varieties. The results showed that as soil Dechlorane Plus (DP), Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), and Cd concentrations increased, germination rate, germination index, and vigour index of the two varities decreased, with Number 7 rice being most affected. Halogenated flame retardants and Cd in soil increased root activity and proline and decreased protein and soluble sugar in two rice varieties. Furthermore, the two rice variety seedlings responded differently to contaminants. Two rice varieties have increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and caused a lot of malonyldialdehyde (MDA). In Number 7 rice, DP and TBBPA enhanced catalase (CAT) activity, but in Number 1, DP increased and TBBPA inhibited it. DP and Cd bioaccumulation factors were 0.025–0.042 and 6.59–14.20, biotransport coefficients 0.39–0.48 and 0.034–0.087. The Number 1 rice bioaccumulated TBBPA and Cd better than the other rice kinds, while DP bioaccumulated similarly. The findings from this study can help assess the ecological dangers of two halogenated flame retardants and Cd in plants.
The Scheme of Control and Enforcement Scheme (Scheme) of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) applies to all fishing vessels used or intended for use in fishing activities conducted on fisheries resources in the Regulatory Area. The scheme is divided into seven chapters: General Provisions (I), Control Measures (II), Monitoring of Fisheries (III), Vessel[…]
For the purpose of ensuring that fishing activities are in compliance with South Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA) Conservation and Management Measures (CMMs), this CMM provides regulations that make it easier to monitor, control, and monitor fishing activities. It is the responsibility of the Contracting Parties, cooperating non-contracting party (CNCPs), and participating fishing entities (PFEs) to[…]
In the context of sustainable fishing activities, this Regulation establishes specific rules regarding the eligibility of costs associated with operations that aim to protect and restore marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Additionally, this Regulation addresses the eligibility of costs for operations that aim to mitigate climate change and improve the energy efficiency of fishing vessels. Furthermore,[…]
The Third Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) Strategic Plan (2022-2030) sets out a clear roadmap for achieving the CRFM’s vision of effective management, conservation and sustainable use of our fisheries and aquaculture resources, to maximise social and economic benefits in the CRFM Member States. The plan was approved by the Eleventh Special Meeting of the[…]
This measure is based on the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Fishery Resources in the South East Atlantic Ocean, adopted by the Annual Meeting of the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO) in 2015, establishes the System of Observation, Inspection, Compliance and Enforcement, which shall apply to all fishing vessels and fishing research[…]
