This study aimed to reveal the effects of vacuum-impregnated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) coating with pomegranate peel extract (PPE) on quality retention of fish flesh during refrigeration. Herein, CMCS-PPE coating was effective in attenuating quality loss of grass carp fillets. Compared to Control, the levels of drip loss, total volatile base nitrogen, and K value in coated samples were sharply decreased (p < 0.05) by 24.5%, 35.3% and 25.2% on day 9, respectively. Meanwhile, the coating also helped inhibit oxidation, bioamine accumulation, and texture softening in fillets. Moreover, the microbial enumeration was reduced by >1.4 lg cfu/g as compared to Control on day 6 afterward, and high throughput sequencing analysis further showed the active coating contributed to the notable growth suppression of spoilage bacteria like Shewanella. Additionally, the positive effect of the coating scheme was also verified in longsnout catfish and snakehead, further confirming its good applicability for fish flesh preservation.

Composite polymers are promising solution to structural setbacks of starch and alginate-based films due to their hydrophilic attributes. Hence, this study aimed to investigate young coconut jelly powder (CJP), an under-utilized by-waste, as a filler using the casting method to develop a novel biocomposite from increments of CJP (1-3 %) to a blended resin of arrowroot starch, sodium alginate, and glycerol. Moreover, the films were characterized by physicomechanical (visual aspect, thickness, color, moisture content, tensile strength, and elongation at break); surface microstructure; water barrier (water vapor permeability, water solubility, and water activities); thermal, crystallinity, and functional group properties; soil, river water, and seawater biodegradability; and coating application in cherry tomato.

In this study, nine isonitrogenous experimental diets containing graded level of carbohydrates (40 g/kg, 80 g/kg and 120 g/kg) and crude lipid (80 g/kg, 120 g/kg, and 160 g/kg) were formulated in a two-factor (3×3) orthogonal design. 945 mandarin fish with similar body weight were randomly assigned into 27 tanks and the experiment diets were fed to triplicate tanks twice daily for 10 weeks. Results showed that different dietary treatments did not significantly affect survival rate and growth performance of mandarin fish.

European sardine Sardina pilchardus is a commercially valuable coastal pelagic fish species. Spain is one of the largest sardine suppliers in Europe and the Iberian stock is of particular significance. Kudoa parasites are known to infect sardines causing the so-called 'soft flesh' condition; however, data on the occurrence of 'soft flesh' in this sardine stock are limited.

Coral reef fishes represent an invaluable source of macro- and micro-nutrients for tropical coastal populations. However, several potentially toxic compounds may jeopardize their contribution to food security. Concentrations of metallic compounds and trace elements (MTEs), and persistent organic pollutants (POPs, including pesticides and polychlorobiphenyls PCBs), totalizing 36 contaminants, were measured in coral reef fish from several Pacific islands.
