1. The search for inhibitors and activators of endo-1----3-(EC 3.2.1.6) and 1----6-beta-D-glucanases (EC3.2.1) from marine mollusks in aqueous and ethanol extracts of various types of marine invertebrates, such as sponges, ascidians, coelenterates, echinoderms, dwelling in north seas (the sea of Okhotsk and the sea of Japan) and torrid seas (western coast of Australia) has been made. 2. A comparative analysis has shown that the overwhelming majority of extracts of animals, dwelling near Australia, inhibit beta-D-glucanases. 3. On the contrary, the extracts of animals dwelling in the sea of Okhotsk possess the activating effect, except for sponges of genera Haliclona whose sample extracts display a significant activating effect independently of their place of abode.

Mussels, particularly Perna viridis, are vital sentinel species for toxicology and biomonitoring in environmental health. This species plays a crucial role in aquaculture and significantly impacts the fisheries sector. Despite the ecological and economic importance of this species, its omics resources are still scarce.

Consuming raw or undercooked mussels can lead to gastroenteritis and septicemia due to contamination. This study analyzed the prevalence, density, species diversity, and molecular traits of spp. in 48 fresh raw wild mussels (FRMs) and 48 ready-to-eat stuffed mussels (RTE-SMs) through genome analysis, assessing health risks.

The increasing challenge of marine biofouling, mainly due to barnacle settlement, necessitates the development of effective antifoulants with minimal environmental toxicity. In this study, fifteen derivatives of brusatol were synthesized and characterized using C-NMR, H-NMR, and mass spectrometry. All the semi-synthesized compounds obtained using the Multi-Target-Directed Ligand (MTDL) strategy, when evaluated as anti-settlement agents against barnacles, showed promising activity.

The intensification of aquaculture has escalated disease outbreaks and overuse of antibiotics, driving the global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) crisis. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) provide a promising alternative due to their rapid, broad-spectrum activity, low AMR risk, and additional bioactivities, including immunomodulatory, anticancer, and antifouling properties. AMPs derived from aquatic invertebrates, particularly marine-derived, are well-suited for aquaculture, offering enhanced stability in high-salinity environments.
