Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is associated with pathological aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG), which cause brain damage. However, the impact of AQP4-IgG on retinal tissue remains unclear. Additionally, dysregulated complement anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a, known to modulate the endothelial barrier, are implicated in NMOSD.

- Aquacultured carnivorous species heavily rely on fishmeal and fish oil, mostly sourced from small pelagic fish, raising concerns about their impact on wild fish stocks and coastal communities.
- The aquaculture industry uses the Fish In:Fish Out (FIFO) metric to claim reduced dependency on wild fish, but this metric is misleading due to fluctuating yields and varying feed requirements.
- The increasing use of FMFO from by-products is a sign of rising demand, especially in salmon and shrimp farming, rather than a reduction in wild fish usage.
Current stock assessment models overestimate productivity and recovery trajectory.
