Publication Metadata only Trace elements in marine sediment and organisms in the gulf of Thailand(2018-04-20) Suwalee Worakhunpiset; Mahidol University© 2018 by the author. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. This review summarizes the findings from studies of trace element levels in marine sediment and organisms in the Gulf of Thailand. Spatial and temporal variations in trace element... concentrations were observed. Although trace element contamination levels were low, the increased urbanization and agricultural and industrial activities may adversely affect ecosystems and human health. The periodic monitoring of marine environmentsPublication Metadata only An assessment of governance of marine and coastal resources on Koh Tao, Thailand(2017-11-01) Suvaluck Satumanatpan; Patti Moore; Angela Lentisco; Hugh Kirkman; Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University; null© 2017 Elsevier Ltd This was the first assessment of marine and coastal resource governance on Koh Tao, a small island in the Western Gulf of Thailand. The study assessed perceptions of governance of marine and coastal resources among national... with the anticipated continued growth in marine-based tourism is challenged. The study identified misunderstandings about governance and governance weaknesses, which, if they are not addressed, will be obstacles to the future sustainable development of Koh TaoPublication Metadata only Salty stories, fresh spaces: Lessons for aquatic protected areas from marine and freshwater experiences(2018-04-01) Erin K.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) and freshwater protected areas (FPAs), collectively aquatic protected areas (APAs), share many commonalities in their design, establishment, and management, suggesting great... in Busan, South Korea, in May 2016, which explored crossover lessons between marine and freshwater realms, and included case studies of four MPAs and five FPAs (or clusters of FPAs) from nine countries. This review uses the case studies to exploreItem Metadata only Interactive Governance for the Sustainability of Marine and Coastal Resources in Thailand#(2022-11-01) Satumantpan S.; Chuenpagdee R.; Mahidol UniversityCoastal zones are biodiverse, with complex and dynamic interconnectivity between terrestrial and marine areas, and with multiple interactions between ecological and social systems. Despite on-going efforts to conserve and protect these ecosystemsPublication Metadata only Rapid and accurate species-specific PCR for the identification of lethal Chironex box jellyfish in Thailand(2021-01-01) Nuankanya Sathirapongsasuti; Kasetsin Khonchom; Thunyaporn Poonsawat; Mitila Pransilpa; Supaporn Ongsara; Usawadee Detsri; Suwimon Bungbai; Sam ang Lawanangkoon; Worawut Pattanaporkrattana; Satariya Trakulsrichai; Ramathibodi Hospital; Thailand Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment; Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University; Phuket Marine Biological Center; Lower Andaman; Koh Kut Hospital; Central Gulf of Thailand; Koh Phangan Hospital; Southern Marine and Coastal Resources Research CenterBox jellyfish are extremely potent venom-producing marine organisms. While they have been found worldwide, the highest health burden has been anticipated to be the tropical Indo-Pacific of Southeast Asia (SEA). At least 12 Cubozoan species have nowItem Metadata only Valorization of marine by-products using green technology(2023-01-01) Netramai S.; Saleah F.; Kawinkamraksa C.; Wipatanawin A.; Kijchavengkul T.; Courtes F.; Rosales C.K.; Netramai S.; Mahidol UniversityIn this work, two cases of marine by-product valorization using green technologies were highlighted, i.e., utilization of high-pressure carbon dioxide (HPCD) for demineralization of goldstripe sardinella (Sardinella gibbosa) scales and the useItem Metadata only Pathways in marine spatial planning: a systematic review of drivers and enabling conditions in the Asia-Pacific(2025-01-01) Satumanatpan S.; Chuenwongarun K.; Piyawongnarat T.; Plathong S.; Zhang Z.; Satumanatpan S.; Mahidol UniversityMarine Spatial Planning (MSP) is increasingly recognized as a strategic approach to balance economic development, biodiversity conservation, and social equity in ocean governance. However, implementation across the Asia-Pacific remains unevenItem Metadata only Integrating Machine Learning with 3D Printing Concrete for Marine Structures: Mix Design, Strength Assessment, and Carbon Footprint Prediction(2026-01-01) Punurai W.; Liu Y.; Punurai W.; Mahidol UniversityA well-designed mix ratio for 3D printing concrete (3DPC) is essential for successful application of this technology in marine structures. Adjusting the material mixes through physical experiments poses challenges for sustainability regarding wasteItem Metadata only Assessment of eutrophication potential from fertiliser application in agricultural systems in Thailand(2022-08-10) Balasuriya B.T.G.; Ghose A.; Gheewala S.H.; Prapaspongsa T.; Mahidol UniversityReleases of excess nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilisers applied in agricultural production cause eutrophication in the aquatic ecosystem. This study assessed the marine and freshwater eutrophication potentials associated with the fertiliser... application in rice, maize, cassava, sugar cane and oil palm, cultivation in Thailand using a life cycle assessment characterisation model at midpoint and endpoint levels. The total marine eutrophication potential was 209,632,298 kg N eq while the totalPublication Metadata only Toxic marine puffer fish in Thailand seas and tetrodotoxin they contained(2011-10-01) Monrat Chulanetra; Nitat Sookrung; Potjanee Srimanote; Nitaya Indrawattana; Jeeraphong Thanongsaksrikul; Yuwaporn Sakolvaree; Manas Chongsa-Nguan; Hisao Kurazono; Wanpen Chaicumpa; Mahidol University; Thammasat University; Obihiro University of Agriculture and Veterinary MedicineA total of 155 puffers caught from two of Thailand's seas, the Gulf of Siam and the Andaman seas, during April to July 2010 were included in this study. Among 125 puffers from the Gulf of Siam, 18 were Lagocephalus lunaris and 107 were L. spadiceus which were the same two species found previously in 2000-2001. Thirty puffers were collected from the Andaman seas, 28 Tetraodon nigroviridis and two juvenile Arothron reticularis; the two new species totally replaced the nine species found previously in 1992-1993. Conventional mouse bioassay was used to determine the toxicity in all fish tissue extracts, i.e., liver, reproductive tissue, digestive tissue and muscle. One of each of the species L. lunaris and L. spadiceus (5.56 and 0.93%, respectively) were toxic. All 28 T. nigroviridis and 2 A. reticularis (100%) from the Andaman seas were toxic. The toxicity scores in T. nigroviridis tissues were much higher than in the respective tissues of the other three fish species. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) revealed that the main toxic principle was tetrodotoxin (TTX). This study is the first to report TTX in L. spadiceus. Our findings raised a concern for people, not only Thais but also inhabitants of other countries situated on the Andaman coast; consuming puffers of the Andaman seas is risky due to potential TTX intoxication. © 2011 by the authors.
