Seaweed meal is dried, milled seaweed, usually based on the brown seaweeds because they are the most readily available in large quantities. They are sold as soil additives and function as both fertilizer and soil conditioner. Also used as raw material for animal feeding stuff and fish feed. (http://www.fao.org/3/y4765e/y4765e0c.htm)
By brackishwater aquaculture is understood the cultivation of aquatic organisms where the end product is raised in brackishwater, such as estuaries, coves, bays, lagoons and fjords, in which the salinity may lie or generally fluctuate between 0.5‰ and full strength seawater. (Adapted from FAO CWP https://www.fao.org/cwp-on-fishery-statistics/handbook/aquaculture-statistics/en/ Accessed 16 June 2023)

Root architecture refers to the spatial configuration of the root system, i.e. the explicit geometric deployment of root axes. (Lynch, J. (1995). Root architecture and plant productivity. Plant Physiol. 109, 7–13. doi: 10.1104/pp.109.1.7)
The point of discharge of water, sewer, etc. (Glossary of inland fishery terms, EIFAC Occasisonal Paper No. 12, FAO, 1978 (http://www.fao.org/3/ae987b/AE987B01.htm).)
In science, a constant is a quantity whose value is fixed by convention or by calculation, independently of the problem in which it is encountered. This notion is thus opposed to that of variable, whose value can change during the same problem. (Translated from Wikipedia, 2023. Constante https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constante )
A submarine canyon is a steep-sided valley cut into the seabed of the continental slope, sometimes extending well onto the continental shelf, having nearly vertical walls. Just as above-sea-level canyons serve as channels for the flow of water across land, submarine canyons serve as channels for the flow of turbidity currents across the seafloor. (Wikipedia, 2024. Submarine canyon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_canyon)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute arthropod-borne virus infection with a wide range of vertebrate disease hosts. This is a zoonotic disease problem. (FAO, 2003)
