Article Synopsis
  • * The Asian sea bass is vital to the aquaculture industry, but it faces serious threats from bacterial pathogens such as streptococcus and vibriosis, which affect both wild and farmed populations.
  • * This review evaluates the current understanding of bacterial diseases in Asian sea bass, discusses their management, and considers future risks associated with aquaculture expansion and climate change.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates microplastic contamination in the gastrointestinal tracts of six commercial fish species from the Bay of Bengal, revealing the presence of 696 microplastics ranging from 0.3 to 5 mm in size.
  • Planktivorous fish had the highest average occurrence of microplastics (7.7 items/individual), with specific findings showing E. thoracata contained the most per gram of GIT at 30.99 items/g, while T. ilisha had the least.
  • The types of microplastics found included fibers, fragments, films, microbeads, and foams, with major polymers being polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate, highlighting a significant environmental concern that calls for stricter

The current study was conducted to comprehend the variation of the growth pattern and the physiological status of Pangasius pangasius (Hamilton, 1822) reared in the pond from July 2021 to September 2021. A total of 90 brood individuals were collected from the Meghna River and studied for the present experiment. The overall growth pattern for P.

Bangladesh is a deltaic country in Asia, and its riverine systems ultimately drain into the Bay of Bengal. Plastic is a severe environmental issue for coastal-marine ecosystems due to the indiscriminate usage and discarding of plastic items in the upstream river that eventually find their route into the Bay of Bengal. Microplastics (MPs) are widespread pollutants in almost all environmental compartments, including aquatic environments.

Article Synopsis
  • The Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is a serious disease that impacts multiple fish species, employing a specific protein in grouper called GHSC70 to infiltrate host cells.
  • The study aimed to assess 70 compounds derived from the Neem plant (Azadirachta indica) for their potential to block NNV by targeting GHSC70, as they have shown antiviral properties against other pathogens but not against NNV specifically.
  • Using docking and molecular dynamics simulations, four compounds were identified as strong potential inhibitors, suggesting that Neem plant compounds could effectively prevent the viral entry; however, further lab testing is necessary to confirm their effectiveness.

Global climate change due to anthropogenic activities affects the dynamics of aquatic communities by altering the adaptive capacities of their inhabitants. Analysis of blood provides valuable insights in the form of a comprehensive representation of the physiological and functional status of fish under various environmental and treatment conditions. This review synthesizes currently available information about blood biomarkers used in climate change induced stress responses in fish.

Despite climate-change challenges, for most aquaculture species, physiological responses to different salinities during ambient extreme cold events remain unknown. Here, European seabass acclimatized at 3, 6, 12, and 30 PSU were subjected to 20 days of an ambient extreme winter cold event (8 °C), and monitored for growth and physiological performance. Growth performance decreased significantly (p < 0.

Unprecedented shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns in recent decades place multiple abiotic stressors on the fish. In teleosts, metabolic, osmoregulatory, and molecular potential as tolerance responses to extreme ambient heatwave events at different salinities are poorly understood. The study was performed to evaluate the physio-biochemical stress responses and acclimation potential of European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax maintained at four different salinities followed by an extreme ambient heatwave exposure.

Extreme weather events are becoming more intense and frequent as a result of climate change. The modulation of hemato-physiological potential as a compensatory response to extreme warm events combined with different salinities is poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the hemato-physiological and molecular response of European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax exposed to extreme warm temperature (33 °C) after prior acclimatization at 32 psu, 12 psu, 6 psu, and 2 psu water.

We assessed the effects of fishmeal (FM) replacement by soy protein concentrate (SPC) with inosine monophosphate (IMP) supplementation on growth, digestibility, immunity, blood health, and stress resistance of red sea bream, Pagrus major. FM protein of a FM-based control diet (FM100) was replaced with 25 (FM75), 50 (FM50), 75 (FM25), and 100% (FM0) by SPC protein, and each replacement group was supplemented with 0.4% IMP to formulate five experimental diets.
