No full textThe North Atlantic Ocean provides a variety of globally important socioeconomic services. Throughout the region, marine primary producers play a role in this disproportionately large carbon sink, thereby buffering the effects of human-caused warming. Understanding the fate of productivity throughout the North Atlantic is therefore critical for forecasting future climate. The historically large abundance of commercially relevant marine species in the region has also attracted numerous industrial fisheries. However, due to a lack of effective regulations, fishery overexploitation became rampant in the early-to-mid-twentieth century and eventually resulted in the dramatic crash of Atlantic cod populations. Sparse observational evidence suggests that this twentieth-century removal of Atlantic cod drove ecosystem-wide changes, ultimately resulting in increased productivity throughout previously overfished areas. To systematically evaluate these ecological links and their possible additional connections to climatic variability, we will build a new database linking historical catch statistics to geological records of productivity and past climate
Image Dataset Analysis of "Amusement News" from Hong Kong Early Tabloid Newspaper through Computer Vision and Machine Learning algorithms 基於電腦視覺和機器學習算法的香港早期小報《娛樂之音》圖像數據集分析
No full textIn this project, we aimed to develop a pipeline to automatically recognize, extract, categorize, and display illustrations from the selected tabloid newspaper. We tried to explore tools from academic Computer Vision repository, business OCR service, and opensource library and framework. Hopefully, in the future, we might be able to apply the streamlined process to another newspaper or other digitized collections.
Amusement News《娛樂之音》is selected for its theme in entertainment, especially movie and Cantonese Opera oriented content, and its richness in printed illustrations.
Cantonese Opera, often known as daai hei(great theatre), represents one of the traditional xiqu genres derived from Guangdong. It is a recognized traditional culture which has been inscribed on The National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China and UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Cantonese Opera also represents the long-standing popular entertainment enjoyed by the locals in Hong Kong. During festivals and temple fairs, like Luna New Year and Birthday of Tin Hau or Guanyin, people go and watch Cantonese Opera performed at ad-hoc theatre in dai daai dei (flea market).
Since the late 1940s where Shanghai film companies moved to Hong Kong, movie and cinema started to thrive. With the inflow of capital and talent, Hong Kong soon turned into a movie-making hub and started gaining international recognition gradually. As more and more cinemas with affordable pricing established, movie watching became one of the most popular entertainment among the masses.
The Cantonese Opera industry caught on to the flourishing movie-watching culture and transformed Cantonese Opera performance into films. During the 1950s, Cantonese Opera was one of the most prolific generas in cinemas where over 500 Cantonese opera movies were produced. Later, Cantonese opera also turned into videotapes, fanzines, and CDs.
Among the many tabloid newspapers, the Amusement News reported extensively about cinemas, theatres, and Cantonese Opera, covering topics about the industry, the scripts, and the stars. On each issue, there were photos captured from live performance, movie, and behind the scenes. The Amusement News also involved in influencing the popularity of movie and Cantonese Opera. For years, they organized the "Three Champions of the Opera World" contest for audience to vote for the King of Wudan (male lead), the Queen of Huadan (female lead), and the King of Chousheng (comic male) in Cantonese Opera of the year.
Our Amusement News data set covered issues from 1952 to 1959 which captured the development of movie and Cantonese opera at the time

Chromosome-level genomes of hard clams Meretrix lamarckii (Deshayes, 1853) and Meretrix meretrix (Linnaeus, 1758)
No full textThe genus Meretrix contains marine bivalve molluscs commonly known as the Venus clams or hard clams, which can be found in the estuarine and marine habitats in Asia. Given their edibility, they have been exploited in clam digging activities and also been farmed in some places. Here, we provide two new high-quality genomes of species M. meretrix and M. lamarckii. Utilising a combination of PacBio HiFi and Omni-C sequencing technologies, genome assemblies of M. meretrix and M. lamarcki are obtained with sizes 835.1 Mb (scaffold N50 = 46Mb) and 890.4 Mb (scaffold N50 = 46Mb), respectively. More than 99% of sequences were anchored to 19 pseudochromosomes, and high completeness was also obtained estimated by BUSCO scores (~99.5%, mollusca_odb12). The two new genomic resources provided in this study will be useful for further understanding biology, ecology, and evolution of edible clams
Whole genome duplication in the genomics era: The hidden gems in invertebrates?
No full textAbstract
Whole genome duplication (WGD) results in new potent genomic resources for rewiring the existing genetic regulatory networks in organisms. The exploration of WGD presents a fascinating puzzle to unravel its evolutionary significance. In metazoans, recent studies are now showing different invertebrate lineages, including lophotrochozoans (rotifers and snails) and ecdysozoans (horseshoe crabs, nematodes, scorpions, and spiders), have also undergone WGDs. Nonetheless, the lack of high-quality genomes and standardized methods for detecting WGD pose significant challenges in confirming WGD events. Here we summarised the latest situations and indicated the presence of long-standing WGDs across various invertebrate lineages
