To ensure food security and nutritional quality for a growing world population in the face of climate change, stagnant capture fisheries production, increasing aquaculture production and competition for natural resources, countries must be accountable for what they consume rather than what they produce. To investigate the sustainability of seafood consumption, we propose a methodology to examine the impact of seafood supply chains across national boundaries: the seafood consumption footprint. The seafood consumption footprint is expressed as the biomass of domestic and imported seafood production required to satisfy national seafood consumption, and is estimated using a multi-regional input output model. Thus, we reconstruct for the first time the global fish biomass flows in national supply chains to estimate consumption footprints at the global, country and sector levels (capture fisheries, aquaculture, distribution and processing, and reduction into fishmeal and fish oil) taking into account the biomass supply from beyond national borders.

Discarding is a common practice in fisheries. Total discards are estimated to be about 30 million tons, representing around 23% of worldwide catches. Discarding is an undesirable practice, not only because of the waste of resources, but also because of its contribution to the overexploitation of fish stocks. Several countries have already established discard bans, to different extents (e.g., Norway, Iceland, Chile, New Zealand). The EU’s landing obligation (discard ban) is a major measure of the latest reform of the Common Fisheries Policy for EU fisheries. It aims to reduce unwanted catches in EU fisheries, by incentivizing improved selectivity and restoring fish stocks to levels that can sustain the maximum production over time without harming the biodiversity and the capacity of future generations to obtain fish. However, banning discards will inevitably induce diverse short- and long-term ecological, economic, and social impacts, which may determine whether the landing obligation’s objectives will be achieved.

BackgroundThe blue shark (Prionace glauca, Linnaeus 1758) is one of the most abundant epipelagic shark inhabiting all the oceans except the poles, including the Mediterranean Sea, but its genetic structure has not been confirmed at basin and interoceanic distances. Past tagging programs in the Atlantic Ocean failed to find evidence of migration of blue sharks between the Mediterranean and the adjacent Atlantic, despite the extreme vagility of the species. Although the high rate of by-catch in the Mediterranean basin, to date no genetic study on Mediterranean blue shark was carried out, which constitutes a significant knowledge gap, considering that this population is classified as “Critically Endangered”, unlike its open-ocean counterpart.MethodsBlue shark phylogeography and demography in the Mediterranean Sea and North-Eastern Atlantic Ocean were inferred using two mitochondrial genes (Cytb and control region) amplified from 207 and 170 individuals respectively, collected from six localities across the Mediterranean and two from the North-Eastern Atlantic.ResultsAlthough no obvious pattern of geographical differentiation was apparent from the haplotype network, Φst analyses indicated significant genetic structure among four geographical groups. Demographic analyses suggest that these populations have experienced a constant population expansion in the last 0.4–0.1 million of years.DiscussionThe weak, but significant, differences in Mediterranean and adjacent North-eastern Atlantic blue sharks revealed a complex phylogeographic structure, which appears to reject the assumption of panmixia across the study area, but also supports a certain degree of population connectivity across the Strait of Gibraltar, despite the lack of evidence of migratory movements observed by tagging data. Analyses of spatial genetic structure in relation to sex-ratio and size could indicate some level of sex/stage biased migratory behaviour.

ChemAgora, a web application designed and developed in the context of the "Data Infrastructure for Chemical Safety Assessment" (diXa) project, provides search capabilities to chemical data from resources available online, enabling users to cross-reference their search results with both regulatory chemical information and public chemical databases. ChemAgora, through an on-the-fly search, informs whether a chemical is known or not in each of the external data sources and provides clikable links leading to the third-party web site pages containing the information. The original purpose of the ChemAgora application was to correlate studies stored in the diXa data warehouse with available chemical data. Since the end of the diXa project, ChemAgora has evolved into an independent portal, currently accessible directly through the ChemAgora home page, with improved search capabilities of online data sources.

The field of toxicogenomics (the application of '-omics' technologies to risk assessment of compound toxicities) has expanded in the last decade, partly driven by new legislation, aimed at reducing animal testing in chemical risk assessment but mainly as a result of a paradigm change in toxicology towards the use and integration of genome wide data. Many research groups worldwide have generated large amounts of such toxicogenomics data. However, there is no centralized repository for archiving and making these data and associated tools for their analysis easily available. The Data Infrastructure for Chemical Safety Assessment (diXa) is a robust and sustainable infrastructure storing toxicogenomics data. A central data warehouse is connected to a portal with links to chemical information and molecular and phenotype data. diXa is publicly available through a user-friendly web interface. New data can be readily deposited into diXa using guidelines and templates available online. Analysis descriptions and tools for interrogating the data are available via the diXa portal. http://www.dixa-fp7.eu [email protected]; [email protected] Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

In the context of the data quality research area, Conditional Functional Dependencies with built-in predicates (CFDps) have been recently defined as extensions of Conditional Functional Dependencies with the addition, in the patterns of their data values, of the comparison operators. CFDps can be used to impose constraints on data; they can also represent relationships among data, and therefore they can be mined from datasets. In the present work, after having introduced the distinction between constant and non-constant CFDps, we describe an algorithm to discover non-constant CFDps from datasets.

Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing has had a major role in the overexploitation of global fish populations. In response, international regulations have been imposed and many fisheries have been 'eco-certified' by consumer organizations, but methods for independent control of catch certificates and eco-labels are urgently needed. Here we show that, by using gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms, individual marine fish can be assigned back to population of origin with unprecedented high levels of precision. By applying high differentiation single nucleotide polymorphism assays, in four commercial marine fish, on a pan-European scale, we find 93–100% of individuals could be correctly assigned to origin in policy-driven case studies. We show how case-targeted single nucleotide polymorphism assays can be created and forensically validated, using a centrally maintained and publicly available database. Our results demonstrate how application of gene-associated markers will likely revolutionize origin assignment and become highly valuable tools for fighting illegal fishing and mislabelling worldwide.

Information and Communication Technologies have great potential, in the context of natural resources utilization, to improve efficiency by making homes, offices, industries and transportation systems more ‘intelligent’: more information use can be traded off with less energy use. The paper presents a system to monitor and interactively control water and gas utilization, allowing consumers to be better informed about their consumption behaviour and challenging them to improve efficiency in utilization along with saving costs. In the system, smart meters are used in order to collect data on gas and water consumption; the data collected through this kind of meters are made available, almost in real time, in a graphical representation both to the customer and the supplier. The availability of a higher quantity of information about consumption can be used by consumers to improve utilization efficiency; moreover, it can also be seen as a challenge to modify personal consumption behaviours. As a consequence, in both cases, there can be an increase in saving natural resources and costs. In the paper, the developed system is described and its potential benefits are discussed with reference to similar experiences and a conceptual background.

In the simulation field the demand for distributed architectures is increasing for several reasons, mainly to reuse existing simulators and to model complex systems that could be difficult to realize with a single application. In this paper the ASIA platform that aims at supporting the simulation design and simulators integration is presented. The paper focuses mainly on the comparison of the ASIA platform and the High Level Architecture standard. An example in the manufacturing field is presented as a basis for the comparison of the two approaches. Finally, some considerations are outlined in the perspective of the integration of the two environments.

We present a graph-based object model that may be used as a uniform framework for direct manipulation of multimedia information. After an introduction motivating the need for abstraction and structuring mechanisms in hypermedia systems, we introduce the data model and the notion of perspective, a form of data abstraction that acts as a user interface to the system, providing control over the visibility of the objects and their properties. A perspective is defined to include an intension and an extension. The intension is defined in terms of a pattern, a subgraph of the schema graph, and the extension is the set of pattern-matching instances. Perspectives, as well as database schema and instances, are graph structures that can be manipulated in various ways. The resulting uniform approach is well suited to a visual interface. A visual interface for complex information systems provides high semantic power, thus exploiting the semantic expressibility of the underlying data model, while maintaining ease of interaction with the system. In this way, we reach the goal of decreasing cognitive load on the user, with the additional advantage of always maintaining the same interaction style. We present a visual retrieval environment that effectively combines filtering, browsing, and navigation to provide an integrated view of the retrieval problem. Design and implementation issues are outlined for MORE (Multimedia Object Retrieval Environment), a prototype system relying on the proposed model. The focus is on the main user interface functionalities, and actual interaction sessions are presented including schema creation, information loading, and information retrieval.

A graph-oriented data model is introduced in which both the database schema and the database instances are represented as directed labeled graphs. A retrieval language based on a pattern algebra is defined for querying graph-structured information. Definitions are provided along with examples from a real application. The proposed uniform framework is well suited to a visual interface that, exploiting the semantic expressiveness of the underlying data model, decreases the cognitive load on the user and provides ease of interaction with the system.

In the first generation of hypermedia systems the main focus was on the flexibility of information organisation and on the ease of navigational access. In particular, this way of interaction was emphasised in contrast with traditional information retrieval systems based on formal query languages. Unfortunately, the limitations of the browsing paradigm were soon realised when approaching real and large hypermedia applications and thus the well-known problems of disorientation and cognitive overhead have been frequently reported and discussed in the literature [18]. In order to alleviate such problems, search capabilities for hypertexts have been added in a more or less integrated way. The effect of this is that content-based requests can be submitted and directly evaluated yielding an immediate answer to a query, whereas a browsing session can take a long time before converging to the goal or it may not converge at all. The problem still remains that such queries do not take into account the structure of information and do not retrieve linked collections of information based on the specification of their structure as well as of their content.

IN THIS PAPER, a unified framework for combining browsing and searching capabilities in a hypertext system is presented. The retrieval process in the model introduced is regarded as a process of inference that can be carried out either by the user, exploring the hypertext network—browsing, or by the system, exploiting the hypertext network as a knowledge base—searching. The architecture of a prototype system based on the model is described. Design and implementation issues are emphasized and an evaluation of the system’s capacity for information retrieval is given.
