In Rio Grande do Sul State, there are four marine shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) farms in the municipal districts of São José do Norte and Rio Grande, and other four with previous license for operation. Thus, the present study aimed to identify and characterize areas for marine shrimp farming located in the Southern portion of the Patos Lagoon estuary (32º00'S 52º00'W) by employing the analysis of satellite remote sensing (Landsat TM and ETM+/Google Earth), airborne remote sensing (35mm system ADAR 1000), terrestrial remote sensing (RICOH 500SE), and field expeditions, integrating data in a Geographical Information System (IDRISI Andes). As a result, the enterprises were built on coastal fields or in obliterated dune areas, which are favorable for cultivation. The proximity of possible consuming markets and local labor, relatively good access roads and local technical support also favor the projects. However, there must be caution in terms of changes in the original projects, which could cause environmental impacts and noncompliance of environmental norms, such as the occupation of salt marsh areas. Based on the obtained information, instruments can be created to help inherent legal decision-making to manage the activity for futures enterprises.

The number of tornado reports in Brazil has increased in recent years; nevertheless, it is likely that many occurrences over uninhabited areas and/or during night time hours remain unconfirmed, especially in a country devoid of official surveys of damage caused by intense winds. This work follows previous initiatives addressing the employment of remote sensing via satellite to identify damage paths associated with tornadoes. The nocturnal event analyzed in this study took place in north-northeast Rio Grande do Sul state from the night hours of 7 June 2017 into early morning hours of the following day, and represents an example of the characterization of significant damage caused by tornadoes despite the lack of visual confirmation of the phenomenon. Images produced by low-orbit environmental satellites of the Landsat and Sentinel series are analyzed, as well as imagery made available by the commercial-purpose environmental satellites that comprise the data base of Google Earth software. To aid in the identification of damage inflicted to dense vegetation, the web tools Global Florest Change and Global Florest Watch, which employ objective methods to detect abrupt modifications in the vegetation cover, are also utilized. Based on these products, it was possible to identify seven tornado damage tracks for the nocturnal event of June 2017, ratifying the value added by remote sensing products in the confirmation of tornadic episodes.

The shrimp Farfantepenaeus paulensis is considered a suitable species for culture in the Patos Lagoon estuary, southern Brazil, where its catch has been decreasing in the last few years. Considering the potential of estuarine areas for shrimp farming, the application of low-cost structures to culture shrimp, such as the pen enclosures, is being proposed as an alternative source of income for artisanal fishermen and farmers living near Patos Lagoon. From an economical standpoint, these alternative systems present several advantages over the traditional pond-based culture systems since land, water pumping and artificial aerations are not required, high natural productivity is available and inexpensive materials are employed in the construction of grow-out structures. This paper reviews the farming of F. paulensis in the pen enclosures as an alternative to the artisanal fishing communities of the Patos Lagoon estuary. Particular emphases are placed on the development of culture systems, social and environmental impacts, constraints and perspectives.

Detecting effective parameters in flood occurrence is one of the most important issues that has drawn more attention in recent years. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) are two efficient ways to spatially predict Flood Risk Mapping (FRM). In this study, a web-based platform called the Google Earth Engine (GEE) (Google Company, Mountain View, CA, USA) was used to obtain flood risk indices for the Galikesh River basin, Northern Iran. With the aid of Landsat 8 satellite imagery and the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Digital Elevation Model (DEM), 11 risk indices (Elevation (El), Slope (Sl), Slope Aspect (SA), Land Use (LU), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), River Distance (RD), Waterway and River Density (WRD), Soil Texture (ST]), and Maximum One-Day Precipitation (M1DP)) were provided. In the next step, all of these indices were imported into ArcMap 10.8 (Esri, West Redlands, CA, USA) software for index normalization and to better visualize the graphical output. Afterward, an intelligent learning machine (Random Forest (RF)), which is a robust data mining technique, was used to compute the importance degree of each index and to obtain the flood hazard map. According to the results, the indices of WRD, RD, M1DP, and El accounted for about 68.27 percent of the total flood risk. Among these indices, the WRD index containing about 23.8 percent of the total risk has the greatest impact on floods. According to FRM mapping, about 21 and 18 percent of the total areas stood at the higher and highest risk areas, respectively.

Abstract Remote sensing (RS) was used to detect land use changes caused by shrimp farming and other activities, to examine the status of shrimp farming, and to recommend a management guideline for sustainable shrimp farming development. The study was conducted at Doson and Kienthuy districts of Haiphong, Vietnam, during June-December 2002. Three images for dates in 1990, 1995 and 2000 were used. The images were radiometrically normalized and geometrically registered to a UTM map projection. Each image was separately classified into different categories of aquaculture ponds, agricultural land, salt farms, village mixed orchards, urban and build-up land, mangroves, rangeland, hill-land forest and open water. Visual image classification in conjunction with associated topographic maps and related reports was employed on all images. The classified images produced were analysed for changes in each land use category by overlaying them in a geographical information system (GIS) framework. The results indicated a significant increase of mangrove area from mudflat area and shrimp pond area from agricultural land and salt farms. Shrimp pond area increased rapidly from 491 ha in 1990 to 607 ha and 1,690 ha in 1995 and 2000, respectively. The study suggests that the growth of shrimp aquaculture must be done on a regulated basis to minimize environmental degradation and guide shrimp farming development towards the sustainable use of coastal resources.

Dissolved oxygen (DO), total biomass and oxygen demand of nematode communities in the organic shrimp farms located in Tam Giang commune, Nam Can District, Ca Mau province were investigated in three seasons (March-dry, July-transfer and November-wet season) of 2015. The results showed that most of DO values were within permissible limits. However, the frequency distributions of DO values are very compressed at the lower limit of their scale. Total dry biomass varied from 24.77 to 937.04 µgC/10cm2 while oxygen demand ranged from 3467.39 to 64288.50 nlO2/day/10cm2. These values were slightly high when compared to other studies in the world. The following results recorded that the negatively correlation between DO and oxygen demand of nematode communities in the organic shrimp farms. This may well suggest that respiration and metabolic of nematode communities was high and their impact on oxygen dissolved in surface water.
