Article Abstract
A multi-nested prediction system for the Yellow Sea using drifter trajectory simulations was developed to predict the movements of an oil spill after the MV Hebei Spirit accident. The speeds of the oil spill trajectories predicted by the model without tidal forcing were substantially faster than the observations; however, predictions taking into account the tides, including both tidal cycle and subtidal periods, were satisfactorily improved. Subtidal flow in the simulation without tides was stronger than in that with tides because of reduced frictional effects. Friction induced by tidal stress decelerated the southward subtidal flows driven by northwesterly winter winds along the Korean coast of the Yellow Sea. These results strongly suggest that in order to produce accurate predictions of oil spill trajectories, simulations must include tidal effects, such as variations within a tidal cycle and advections over longer time scales in tide-dominated areas.

Cyantraniliprole is a widely used insecticide in rice that could induce cellular damage. However, the mechanism of cyantraniliprole induced cell apoptosis was not clear. The Split-Split-Plot analysis revealed that the expression of apoptosis-related genes was significantly impacted by exposure time, concentration, genotype, and their complex interactions.

Nanoplastics (NPs) in marine ecosystems have garnered increasing attention for their interference with the physiological processes of aquatic organisms. An in-depth examination of the toxicological responses of Nannochloropsis oceanica, a species vital to marine ecosystems, is essential due to the crucial role of lipid metabolism in carbon sequestration and energy allocation in microalgae. This study analyzed the toxicological responses of N.

Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a ubiquitous organosulfur compound produced by various marine organisms and plays a central role in global sulfur and carbon cycling through microbial catabolism. In this study, we present the complete genome sequence and functional annotation of Paracoccus homiensis HT-F, a marine bacterium isolated from intertidal algae of the Yellow Sea, China. The genome comprises a 2,714,952 bp circular chromosome with a GC content of 63.

The Yellow Sea (YS) and the East China Sea (ECS), which comprise continental shelves with depths of 200 m or less, are recognized as some of the most productive coastal areas globally. Although this high productivity can contribute to carbon sequestration, the spatiotemporal variability of the biological pump remains unclear. To investigate this variability, net community production (NCP) in August 2020 was estimated based on high-resolution O/Ar measurements.
