Study refutes published comments that ornate spiny lobsters are globally endangered based on its conservation listing in ChinaFisheries genomics is a swiftly growing field with significant potential to support fishery management, conservation and stock identification. This is important because fisheries are a vital component of the world food system, but there are large disparities between the regional status of stocks, largely attributed to intensity of fisheries management.

Japfa Group enables captive breeding, reducing reliance on wild populations and supporting conservation effortsConsidered a high value species due to its demand in culinary markets across Asia and beyond, the tropical eel (Anguilla bicolor) is prized for its rich flavor and high nutritional content. But closed-cycle cultivation of the species has been impossible so far, due to its complicated and mysterious lifecycle.

Why are fish populations in the Gulf of Maine in a state of flux? It’s the very composition of the oceans, say researchers. The warning bells have sounded for years: Ocean warming is affecting the distribution, growth and reproduction cycles of fish, shellfish and other marine life around the world. The very composition of our oceans is changing, climate researchers say, bringing challenges for seafood harvesters, scientists and regulators alike.

ELIFE® mejoró el crecimiento, la supervivencia y las defensas antioxidantes de juveniles de P. vannameiEl estrés oxidativo puede resultar del desequilibrio entre los niveles de agentes prooxidantes y el sistema de defensa antioxidante del camarón. Durante el proceso, también se produce la formación de subcomponentes nocivos para los animales. Las especies reactivas de oxígeno (ROS) son moléculas capaces de oxidar y dañar biomoléculas como lípidos, proteínas y ácidos nucleicos.

The impacts of extreme events on fisheries biomass, harvest, economic performance are yet to be examined as a systemMarine ecosystems and their living marine resources (LMRs) continue to respond to the effects of global change, with environmental factors affecting these coupled social-ecological systems. Extreme events such as high category hurricanes, harmful algal blooms, marine heatwaves, large-scale hypoxia and anthropogenic events such as oil and chemical spills affect marine ecosystems.
