Seasonal occurrence of microplastics in sediment of two South African recreational reservoirs

Inland water systems are regarded as a pathway and sink of plastic pollutants from the terrestrial environment. Aquatic ecosystems are globally contaminated with microplastics, but the spatiotemporal...

Physical habitat condition as a key tool to maintain freshwater biodiversity in neotropical artificial ponds

In areas highly affected by anthropogenic disturbances, artificial (human-made) freshwater ecosystems can provide habitat for maintaining and conserving regional freshwater biodiversity. We assessed...

Transcriptional profiles in zebrafish atp7a mutants and responses of atp7a mutants to Cu stress

As a copper (Cu) transport ATPase, ATP7A plays an important role in maintaining Cu homeostasis in the body, but the developmental and physiological roles of atp7a in zebrafish embryogenesis are rarely...

The immunoregulatory role of fish specific type II SOCS via inhibiting metaflammation in the gut-liver axis

SOCS8, also known as CISHb, is a fish-specific type II SOCS. Because CISH binds to cytokine receptors and may inhibit STAT5 activation (a substrate of the insulin receptor), SOCS8 may be involved in...

Assessing physical habitat structure and biological condition in eastern Amazonia stream sites

The advance of agricultural frontiers and industrialization in Amazonia has increased natural resource deterioration, resulting in degraded physical habitat structure and reduced local aquatic biodiversity....

A finTRIM member 100 (FTR100) is unique to Otomorpha fish for constitutive regulation of IFN response

Vertebrate interferon (IFN) expression is fine-tuned in order to avoid excessive tissue injury under normal conditions and during virus infection. FinTRIM (fish novel TRIM, FTR) proteins are reported...

Mine tailings storage dams modify upstream headwater fish assemblages

Riverscape connectivity is a critically important component determining the ecological condition of lotic ecosystems. We evaluated changes in fish assemblages caused by the loss of connectivity by mine...

Water transfer determines the regional spread dynamics of non-native fish species

Interbasin water transfer projects (IBWT's) have emerged as dispersal corridors for aquatic species. However, little is known about how water transfer affects regional spread dynamics, or shapes the...

Initial discovery of microplastic pollution in Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora: Lobata)

The production of plastics has exponentially increased over time such that the observation of microplastics in the oceans has become a major concern given how frequently these particles and marine biota...

Research advances in the structure, function, and regulation of the gill barrier in teleost fish

The gill is an important organ in fish that is involved in various physiological functions, including respiration, filter-feeding, ammonia nitrogen excretion, and osmoregulation. The physiological functions...

An overview of research efforts to understand the effects of underwater sound on cetaceans

Cetaceans are aquatic mammals living in an environment that is more suited for hearing than vision. As such, their sensory systems largely utilize acoustic cues for navigation, communication, foraging,...

Oral PLGA-based DNA vaccines using interferons as adjuvants remarkably promote the immune protection of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) against GCRV infection

Grass carp hemorrhagic disease caused by grass carp reovirus (GCRV) results in significant economic losses to the global grass carp aquaculture industry. Oral vaccination is an ideal choice for disease...
