NZ scientists find ocean monitoring use for medical DNA diagnostic
New Zealand scientists have discovered an environmental monitoring application for medical DNA diagnostic technology, the Global Post reported. 
 
The Next-Generation Sequencing technology could be used to monitor industrial impacts on marine environmentals. The method works by identifying and analyzing a group of microscopic, environmentally sensitive organisms known as foraminifera. 
 
Monitoring through chemical analysis or similar methods can take up to eight months, but the new method promises to deliver results in a matter of days. New Zealand requires certain industries, such as aquaculture and offshore energy, to monitor the environment.

New research indicates that mobile fishing gear that drag along the ocean’s bottom are more destructive to ground fish habitats and geological formations, according to a release from Northeastern University. 
 
Published in Reviews in Fisheries Science &; Aquaculture , the research states that trawls and dredges have a greater negative impact on New England’s bottom-dwelling fish, such as cod, haddock and cusk, than stationary traps or gill nets. The mobile gear can also damage fragile cobble and boulders, geological features that provide habitat to aquatic organisms and take thousands of years to form. 
 
Damage to New England’s fisheries is a growing problem, as the region’s cod fishing industry continues its three-decade decline.
Read MoreGIS map to guide Wisconsin aquaculture startups
There will soon be a new GIS map out to guide Wisconsin aquaculture startups on the best places to set up a fish farm, according to a Wisconsin Sea Grant blog post. 
 Allen Brandt, a University of Wisconsin graduate student, took the reins on the project under the guidance of Chris Hertleb, a UW biology professor. 
 The map they are developing incorporates several factors fish farmers need to know to find the optimal location to set up shop. It includes which tracts of land are available and acceptable by federal government standards to farm fish. 
 Brandt also added water quality data from Wisconsin counties, including pH, hardness and water availability. Since some counties had little to no data, Brandt had to fill in the gaps himself.
