Identification and whole-genome sequencing analysis of Vibrio vulnificus strains causing pearl gentian grouper disease in China.

Vibrio vulnificus is a pathogenic bacterium that causes disease in marine fish, affecting fish farming and human health worldwide. In May 2021, in the Bohai Bay region, a disease broke out in commercially farmed pearl gentian grouper (♀Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × ♂Epinephelus lanceolatus), causing huge economic losses. The diseased fish had skin lesions, water accumulation in their abdomens, and showed tissue and organ damage.

Attachment style predicts cooperation in intuitive but not deliberative response in one-shot public goods game.

Cooperation is an important prosocial behaviour that is of great significance to individuals and society. The social heuristics hypothesis (SHH) systematically explains how cooperation is interactively affected by intuitive and deliberative processes. On the one hand, the intuitive process can be either cooperative or selfish, which is determined by previous experience.

Eco-toxicology effect on Moina mongolica Daday exposed to Cd, Pb, and Hg by the food chain.

As one of the most important contaminants, heavy metals can seriously influence human health via the food chain. In this study, the eco-toxicological effects of Cd, Pb, and Hg on Moina mongolica Daday were investigated by feeding them Chlorella sp. that contained heavy metals.
