Fish and crustaceans are highly perishable due to microbial growth and metabolism. Recent studies found that the spoilage process of fish and crustaceans is highly related to their microbiota composition. Microbiota of fish and crustaceans changes dramatically during storage and can be influenced by many factors (e.g., aquaculture environment, handling process, storage temperature, and various quality control techniques). Among them, many quality control techniques have exhibited efficient effects on inhibiting spoilage bacteria, regulating microbiota composition, and retarding quality deterioration. In this article, we elucidate the relationship between microbiota composition and fish/crustacean spoilage, demonstrate influencing factors of fish/crustaceans microbiota, and review various quality control techniques (especially plant-derived preservatives) including their preservative effects on microbiota and quality of fish and crustaceans. Besides, present and future trends of various detective methods used in microbiota analysis are also compared in this review, so as to provide guides for future microbiota studies. To conclude, novel preservation techniques (especially plant-derived preservatives) and hurdle technologies are expected to achieve comprehensive inhibitory effects on spoilage bacteria. Efficient delivery systems are promising in improving the compatibility of plant-derived preservatives with fish/crustaceans and enhancing their preservative effects. Besides, spoilage mechanisms of fishery products that involve complex metabolisms and microbial interactions need to be further elucidated, by using omics technologies like metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metabolomics.

This study evaluated the growth and gut performance of shrimp fed three isonitrogenous diets (37% crude protein) with varying inclusions of fish meal (FM) and soybean meal (SBM): F1 (27.5% FM), F2 (10% FM + 23.5% SBM), and F3 (38% SBM).

Sorting grids to exclude the juveniles of species targeted by bottom trawl fisheries from the catch are among the most promising solutions to reduce discards. We tested a two-sections Juveniles' Sorting Grid (JSG) in a Mediterranean fisheries restricted area. First, we provided information on the vitality of individuals escaping from the JSG bars during towing, by analysing underwater footage.

Objective: The primary objective was to construct a time series model for the abundance of the adult female (AF) sea lice Lepeophtheirus salmonis in Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar farms in the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada, for the period 2016-2021 and to illustrate its short-term predictive capabilities.
Methods: Sea lice are routinely counted for monitoring purposes, and these data are recorded in the Fish-iTrends database. A multivariable autoregressive linear mixed-effects model (second-order autoregressive structure) was generated with the outcome of the abundance of AF sea lice and included treatments, infestation pressures (a measure that represents the dose of exposure of sea louse parasitic stages to potential fish hosts) within sites (internal) and among sites (external), and other predictors.

Small-scale shrimp trawling is crucial for the economy and culture of coastal communities worldwide, providing several ecosystem services. However, bottom trawling is well-known for its negative impacts on habitat structure and marine communities. Bycatch, or the accidental capture of non-target species during fishing, can offer valuable insights into the composition and variation of fish assemblages.
