Owing to the hasty growth of communication technologies in the Underwater Internet of
Things (UIoT), many researchers and industries focus on enhancing the existing …

Although the existence of zooxanthellate corals in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs;
light-dependent coral ecosystems from 30 to 150 m in depth) has been known since the …

This article reviews remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV) and its different types
focusing on the control systems. This study offers a brief introduction of unmanned …

The oceans cover more than two-thirds of the planet, representing the vastest part of natural
resources. Nevertheless, only a fraction of the ocean depths has been explored. Within this …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) and temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) have
received increasing research attention during the last decade as many new and improved …

Assisting the natural recovery of coral reefs through local management actions is needed in
response to increasing ecosystem disturbances in the Anthropocene. There is growing …

Effective exploration of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) has been limited primarily by
available technology. Although research targeting MCEs led to the development of the first …

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse marine ecosystems, and host a wide range of taxonomic
diversity in a complex spatial community structure. Existing coral reef survey methods …

Zooxanthellate scleractinian corals are moderately well-known for shallow reef habitats, but
not for mesophotic depths (> 30 m) that are relatively difficult to access. Mesophotic habitats …
