Belgian Scientists Successfully Evaluate Mussel Longline in Challenging North Sea Wind Farm Environments, Surmounting Nine-Metre Waves and Achieving Initial Harvest in May

Belgium’s Edulis research initiative showcases an innovative approach to offshore mussel farming within wind energy installations. Launched by Ghent University, ILVO, and OD Natural Environment, the project commenced in 2017 with a dual installation strategy. The biological growth line was established at C-Power to investigate mussel settlement, while the force-measuring line at Belwind was designed […]

Humpback Whales perform songs for as long as 16 hours, coordinating their melodies with their diving stages.

Humpback Whales perform songs for as long as 16 hours, coordinating their melodies with their diving stages.

Sixteen hours of continuous singing would damage a human throat, diaphragm, and likely affect a human marriage. A male humpback whale in the warm waters off Maui, however, regards this as a routine endeavor. This stamina is detailed in [a study published in Current Biology](https://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(26)00879-1) by Julia Zeh, a former doctoral researcher at Syracuse University, […]
