In recent years, starfish outbreaks occurred frequently in northern China, causing serious economic losses to marine aquaculture. The most common outbreak starfish species are and . We systematically reviewed the related studies by introducing the biological characteristics, current outbreaking status, and main impact of and , and by discussing the causes, formation process, and migration pattern of starfish outbreaks in northern China.

- On July 16, 2010, a major pipeline explosion released 1500 tons of crude oil in Dalian, China, leading to significant ecological impacts on the local macrobenthic community.
- Researchers analyzed seven years of monitoring data to understand how different taxa responded to the oil spill, finding that the affected community showed no signs of recovery by 2016.
- The study highlighted inconsistencies in the sensitivity of taxa compared to other regions and recommended updates to the ecological classification of certain macrobenthic families based on their varying responses to the spill.
Article Synopsis
- The world's largest Ulva bloom was observed in the Yellow Sea, China, in 2007, originating from the cultivation of Porphyra yezoensis (Nori).
- A new method involving chlorine dioxide as an algaecide was tested to control the overwintering banks of green algae on cultivation ropes in early spring.
- The treatment was effective in eliminating the green algae within two weeks and inhibiting their growth for at least eight weeks, potentially reducing future Ulva blooms in the area.
The Bohai Sea is characterized as a semi-closed sea with limited water exchange ability, which has been regarded as one of the most contaminated regions in China and has attracted public attention over the past decades. In recent years, the rapid industrialization and urbanization around the coastal region has resulted in a severe pollution pressure in the Bohai Sea. Although efforts from official government and scientific experts have been made to protect and restore the marine ecosystem, satisfactory achievements were not gained.
