[Exposure Level and Risk Impact Assessment of Pesticides and Veterinary Drugs in Aquaculture Environment].

To explore the exposure level of pesticides and veterinary drugs in an aquaculture environment and its impact on the ecological environment, this study took the aquaculture environment in Shanghai as an example, and samples of water, sediment, and inputs from 40 major aquaculture farms were collected from July to September 2022. The types and contents of pesticides and veterinary drugs were screened using high-performance liquid chromatography-electrostatic field orbital ion trap mass spectrometry, and the risk quotient (RQ) method was used to assess the ecological risk of pesticide contamination in water and sediment. The results showed that 13 drugs were screened out from 204 samples (72 samples of water, 72 samples of mud, and 60 samples of input), namely, chlorpromazine, carbendazim, thiophanate, diazepam, florfenicol, simazine, amantidine, diazepam, trimethoprim, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, mebendazole, and enrofloxacin.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification for visual detection of Vibrio parahaemolyticus using gold nanoparticles.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) eradicates the need of thermocycler in DNA amplification. Signals are usually obtained via fluorometry or turbidimetry, but such methods need improvement in order to become more effortless and reliable. The authors describe a set of six specific primers targeting the species-specific tlh gene of Vibrio parahaemolyticus which were used in accelerated LAMP reaction.

[Identification of Vibrio campbellii isolated from cultured pacific oyster].

Four bacterial strains were isolated from cultured pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigia) in September 2003 at coast of Fujian province. Their morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence were analyzed. And the relationship between reproduction of the bacterium and NaCl concentrations, pH and temperature were also determined.
