Waterborne exposure to highly persistent microplastic pollutants is a major concern for aquatic species worldwide. There are still gaps in knowledge on microplastics' potential transgenerational effects offspring generation. Using zebrafish, this study investigated the survival and early development of through 21-day continuous parental treatment with polystyrene microplastics. The results showed that waterborne high concentrations (>100 μg/L) microplastics (1 μm) 21 days resulted notable...
Increasingly diverse pathogen occurrence in coastal and mariculture areas demands improved monitoring platforms to prevent economic public health implications. Accessible databases with up-to-date knowledge taxonomy are critical for detecting screening environmental pathogens. Condensed from over 3000 relevant reports peer reviewed articles, we constructed an aquaculture bacterial database that provides specialized curation of 210 pathogenic species impacting aquaculture. Application the DNA...
Estuarine sediments are increasingly contaminated by heavy metals as a result of urbanization and human activities. Continuous multi-heavy metal accumulation in the ecosystem can provoke new effects on top complex environmental interactions already present estuarine ecosystems. It is important to study their integrated influence imperative microbial communities reflect ecological risks they may impose. Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy analysis for five Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb,...
Nutrient pollution in the coastal environment has been accelerated by progressively intensifying aquaculture activities. Excessive nutrients can lead to eutrophication with serious economic and ecological consequences. In this study, we studied planktonic microbial community over a year understand impact on water quality function. We observed increased total inorganic nitrogen concentrations active fish farms favor diverse Alpha- Gammaproteobacteria. Bacterial alpha diversity was positively...
Microbial communities are important indicators of aquatic ecosystem health, responsible for functional roles sustaining the such as nutrient cycling, well environmental problems. Urbanized estuaries vulnerable intersections between terrestrial and marine ecosystems susceptible to pressure perturbation from both natural processes human activities over time. The response by microbial towards changes in environment should be closely monitored studied. In this study, brackish intertidal...
To effectively protect the marine environment, it is crucial to establish effective environ mental monitoring platforms. Traditional environmental methods heavily rely on morphological identification and field expertise, with sampling process being disruptive potentially destructive vulnerable environments. In light of emerging biomonitoring needs biodiversity declines, we reviewed urgently needed, ongoing advances in developing effective, noninvasive, innovative systems examine complex...
Disease prevention in aquatic systems is a global objective to ensure sustainable development, aquaculture production, and public health safety. To safeguard coastal users, early detection identification of pathogenic bacterial agents are critically dependent on up-to-date knowledge base. In this study, we developed an updated database that consisted over 200 species pathogens from previous studies, further applied screen pathogen profiles waters year long period. We revealed...
