From byssal secretion to solidification: Unraveling the molecular interactions governing byssal thread mechanical properties in marine mussels

Marine organisms have evolved diverse strategies for underwater attachment. For instance, barnacles rely on cement for permanent fixation, whereas marine mussels achieve essential anchorage in marine...

Will the discharge of nuclear wastewater from Fukushima indirectly affect China's freshwater aquaculture through fishmeal pollution?

The Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge may shift global protein demand towards freshwater aquaculture due to seafood safety concerns. China, as the world's largest freshwater fish producer, is highly...

Reducing antibiotic resistance gene risks in freshwater aquaculture: Comparative insights from rice-crayfish co-culture and traditional models in China

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in aquaculture ecosystems pose a threat to global public health under the “One Health” framework. However, mechanisms driving ARG dissemination across aquaculture...

Role of nanotechnology in aquaculture disease management: A comparative review

In recent years, the application of nanoparticles has increased, particularly in the field of aquaculture. Many nanoparticles (NPs), including Copper nanoparticle (CuNP), Silver nanoparticle (AgNP),...

Examining the effect of transgenerational immune priming against HaHV-1 in the abalone

Abalone (Haliotis spp.) are a high-valued molluscan species that is under threat by the deadly and re-emergent viral pathogen, Haliotid herpesvirus (HaHV-1). HaHV-1 and its associated disease, Abalone...

Muscle nutrition analyses of two marine eels Conger myriaster and Muraenesox cinereus across different coastal regions of China

Conger myriaster and Muraenesox cinereus are commercially important species in East Asian fisheries, yet their nutritional profiles across diverse coastal habitats remain poorly characterized. This...

An analysis of the mechanisms through which digital infrastructure and digital literacy affect aquaculture production efficiency

Digital infrastructure has been rapidly expanding across China; however, its impact on aquaculture production efficiency remains an important research question. This study empirically examines the impact...

Polyculture systems for sustainable aquaculture: Assessing growth and health benefits for channel catfish, Nile tilapia, and rohu

Innovative approaches are necessary in sustainable aquaculture systems to maximize fish health and resource use. The objective of this study was to compare the growth performance, survival, and physiological...

Genome-wide identification and stress-responsive expression analysis of matrix metalloproteinases in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea)

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a class of zinc-dependent endopeptidases that play a key role in degrading extracellular matrix (ECM) components and are involved in a variety of immune and stress...

Sesquicilins A–H: 11-mer peptaibols with selective antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens in aquatic products

Antimicrobial agents with favourable food safety profiles are urgently needed to control human pathogenic bacteria associated with aquatic products. A mass spectrometry- and bioassay-guided screening...

Initial studies on captive breeding of Chromis limbaughi: Paving the way for its conservation and sustainable production

Limbaugh's damselfish (Chromis limbaughi) is, among the risk of extinction categories of the Mexican legislation, under the special protection status; nevertheless, it supports an ornamental fish trade...

Mitochondrial genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis of geoduck clam Panopeajaponica

Geoduck clam (Panopea japonica), a large burrowing bivalve species, is primarily distributed in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea of China, Korean coastal waters, and marine areas near Hokkaido, Japan. Notably,...

Evaluating genotype by environment interaction for growth in response to dietary protein replacements in Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer Bloch, 1790)

The use of plant proteins to partially replace fishmeal in Asian seabass diets is increasing due to rising prices of aquafeeds. This study assessed the magnitude of the genotype-by-environment interaction...

1,25(OH)2D3 rescues obesity and impairment of lipid mobilization in Cyp27b1 deficient zebrafish

Cytochrome P450 family member 27b1 (Cyp27b1) is the key enzyme that converts vitamin D3 into its bioactive form 1,25(OH)2D3. This conversion is achieved through 1α-hydroxylation of 25(OH)D3. Given the...

Zebrafish as a translational model for stress neurobiology: Mechanisms, tools, and advances

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have proven to be a necessary model organism in the field of stress research. Their biology has been well-characterized, their genetics is amenable, and their transparent embryos...

Enhanced muscle growth via DNA methylation editing of mstnb exon in zebrafish

Muscle tissue constitutes the primary protein reservoir in fish and serves as the key energy source. Myostatin (mstn) functions as a negative regulator of muscle growth. At the same time, reduced mstn...

Antibiotic resistance in aquaculture: Contributions and perspectives of genomics

The global rise of antibiotic resistance (AR) poses a major threat to public health, food security, and environmental sustainability. In aquaculture, the extensive and often unregulated use of antibiotics...

Moderate growth and limited movement of the prized golden sandfish sea cucumber, Holothuria lessoni

Fishery management measures and culture-based stocking programs are adapted depending on animal life-history traits and mobility. However, many heavily exploited species lack data on movement and life-history...

Estimating dietary protein, energy, and amino acid requirements of European catfish (Silurus glanis Linnaeus, 1758) across different growth stages using a bioenergetic approach

There is a lack of information about the nutritional requirements of European catfish (Silurus glanis) for aquaculture. This study aimed to fill this gap using a bioenergetic factorial model. To develop...

Integration of contrast-adaptive colour correction and convolutional neural network for cryptocaryon fish disease detection

Integrating Contrast Colour Correction (CACC) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) can help fish breeders in earlier classification and identification of Cryptocaryon fish disease (protozoan white...

Diversity and variations of the catches from gillnet fisheries in two large rivers in Thailand: insight from long-term monitoring data

Fish diversity and functional diversity of the catches from gillnet fisheries of the Chao Phraya River (CPR) and the Bang Pakong River (BPR) in the central of Thailand were analyzed, using the monitoring...

Determinants of fish and fishery products consumption in India: A partial least squares regression approach

Understanding the factors of fish and fishery products consumption is important for various operators in the fisheries industry. The knowledge of the determinants of fish and fishery products consumption...

Impact of physical and sensory enrichment on the physiological status and disease resistance of triploid rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Environmental enrichment is increasingly recognised as a practical approach to improve the welfare of farmed fish. In rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a species of high economic and scientific relevance,...

Status of aquaculture governance in Bangladesh and steps to achieve responsible aquaculture

Aquaculture is the leading animal food-producing sector in Bangladesh and is ranked 5th globally, yielding 2.64 million MT in 2021. Sustainable aquaculture principally relies on an effective governance...

The environmental and industrial significance of phytoplankton: Mitigating climate change and promoting human health
