Article Synopsis
- Plastic production has rapidly increased due to its affordability and versatile uses, but this has led to significant environmental challenges as plastic waste breaks down into microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystems.
- Microplastics are found throughout water bodies and can be ingested by various aquatic organisms, including fish, which serve as key indicators for measuring the presence and toxicity of these pollutants.
- While lab studies show microplastics can cause damage to fish, such as physical and immune system harm, it's crucial to conduct more research that reflects natural conditions to understand their true impact on wild fish populations.
Genetic diversity, population structure, and demographic history of the chilhuil sea catfish in Northwestern Mexico inferred from mitochondrial DNA.

The chilhuil sea catfish () is an ecologically relevant species contributing to the structure, organization, and functioning of the ecosystems it inhabits. Also, it is an important artisanal fishery resource in the Mexican Pacific coast. This study aimed to determine the genetic diversity, population structure, and historical demography of in the Mexican Pacific.

This study analyzed some parameters of immune response: total hemocytes counts (THC), hemolymph clotting time and superoxide anion (O) production, total protein concentration, superoxide dismutase activity, and the presence of Vibrio spp. in Litopenaeus vannamei at different moon phases.
