The climate crisis and growing petroleum demand have put the health of aquatic animals in jeopardy. Fish are sensitive to chemical pollutants in aquatic environments, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dioxins, and dibenzofurans. This study in...

The present study was applied to evaluate the effects of alternate feeding and feed restriction on gene expression, growth, proximate composition and biochemical indices in European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax. Fish were randomly divided into six i...

Increased turbulent flow and sediment transport during flood or hydropeaking events often induces rapid changes in underwater sound pressure levels, which is here referred to as soundpeaking. This study is the first to investigate such a change in th...

In fisheries science research and farmed fish monitoring, acquiring individual fish echoes is the basis for the growth assessment, tracking, and target strength estimation of farmed fish. However, individual fish echo detection methods based on narro...

Over the last few decades, diseases have emerged as a major bottleneck in fish farming, especially with the emergence of several fish pathogens and increasing resistance to treatments [...]

The universal laws of thermodynamics in the process of ecosystem development have long been the common research focus of ecology and biophysics. Eco-exergy from thermodynamics is a popular theory in the study of ecosystem self-organization that has b...

Lysozyme plays a crucial role in the innate immune response against bacterial phagocytosis by hydrolyzing the peptidoglycan layer of the bacterial cell wall. In this study, we characterized a goose-type lysozyme gene (TrLysG) in Japanese pufferfish....

Seawater cooling is the most common way to cool down nuclear power plants. However, the thermal drainage of nuclear power plants results in sharp rises in local seawater temperatures and, therefore, affects fisheries and ecologies. Therefore, evaluat...

Aquatic animals are continually being exposed to stressors under farming conditions, increasing risks to gut health that result in dysbiosis. Since restrictions are imposed on the frequent use of antibiotics in aquaculture, there is emerging demand f...

The growth of the aquafeed sector is highly dependent upon the availability of fish feed with a balanced nutritional composition. The use of prebiotics and probiotics can be an effective solution to increase the bioavailability of feed components. In...
