The study investigates the accumulation and translocation of di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) in barley plants after 15, 30, 60, and 120 days of exposure. Results from the study revealed that DBP accumulates and translocates in the roots and shoots after 60 days, with all morphological indices declining. Pigment content declines, carbohydrates increase after 15–30 days, and protein content declines for 15–120 days. Proline content increases in all exposure durations, with a maximum increase in 120 days. DBP-stressed plants were analysed for macromolecular variations using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Outcomes from the study provide an appraisal of phthalates’ uptake and translocation-mediated phytotoxic responses in barley plants. These observations help in developing genetically modified edible plants that are resistant to phthalate uptake, thereby ensuring food security.
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[…]
