Vibrio parahaemolyticus, is one of the most frequently reported pathogenic microorganisms that causes foodborne illnesses worldwide. The aims of the current study were to determine the prevalence, virulence genes, antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation ability (BFA) and genetic characterization of V. parahaemolyticus recovered from retail aquatic products in Nanjing, China. There were 131 samples (71.6%) that tested positive for V. parahaemolyticus. The thermostable direct hemolysin-related hemolysin (trh) gene was found in two isolates (1.5%). Antimicrobial susceptibility tests showed that 46.6% of isolates were multidrug resistant. High resistance was observed to ampicillin (100%), cephalosporin (99.2%), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (38.2%) and tetracycline (16.0%). Ten resistance patterns were found. The crystal violet staining assay showed that 35.1% had strong BFA, and 52.7% had intermediate BFA; notably, five (3.8%) extremely strong BFA strains were obtained from wet markets. According to whole genome sequencing analysis of 59 randomly selected isolates, 46 sequence types (STs) were identified, including 22 novel STs, and ST1042 was the dominant sequence type. It is clear that the V. parahaemolyticus population exhibits a high level of genetic variation. Our findings provide comprehensive insight into the prevalence and phylogenetic relationship of V. parahaemolyticus in aquatic products, suggesting potential hazards to consumers in Nanjing.

The herbicide oxyfluorfen [OXY; 2-chloro-1-(3-ethoxy-4-nitrophenoxy)-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene] recently emerged as a potential solution to combat herbicide resistance in California rice. Proposed as a preemergent applied preflood to soil, products are in development for use with OXY-tolerant rice strains. Currently, OXY is not registered for use with rice and its use in or near aquatic resources is restricted due to its high aquatic toxicity.

The expansion of the seafood market has led to an increased probability of food fraud. The development of rapid and reliable traceability methods for aquatic food products is of utmost importance. In this study, direct analysis and identification of the intestinal microbiota of aquatic foods were conducted.

Article Synopsis
- Diadromous fishes show a pattern of reliance on oceans in high latitudes versus rivers in low latitudes, driven by differences in aquatic productivity.
- Research suggests that migratory salmonids exhibit greater ocean dependency and weight gain at higher latitudes, while freshwater growth decreases with latitude.
- These findings highlight variations in life history among salmonid migrants and suggest the existing definition of anadromy might not adequately reflect the complexities of river-ocean migration.

Background: Silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a basal fish species with sexual monomorphism, while its sex determination mechanism has been poorly understood, posing a significant challenge to its captive breeding efforts.
Results: We constructed two high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies for both female and male silver arowana, with scaffold N50 values over 10 Mb. Combining re-sequencing data of 109 individuals, we identified a female-specific region, which was localized in a non-coding region, i.
