Possible health benefits of fish balls tsumire consumption on human health have been deduced based on the results of our earlier study investigating tsumire consumption by young (6-weeks-old) Sprague-Dawley rats. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of tsumire intake on aged rats by feeding them a diet containing 5% dried tsumire. Biomarker levels and organ weight of 80-weeks-old Sprague-Dawley rats that were fed with tsumire were examined for potential health benefits. Following 84 days of administering tsumire-containing diet, we found a decrease in some liver function parameters, such as the levels of AST, ALT, ALP and LAP, in the tsumire-fed rats compared to control rats provided with normal diet. In particular, significantly reduced LDH levels were observed in the experimental group. The results can be extrapolated to possible beneficial effects of consumption of tsumire on human health.

Article Synopsis
- Starfish saponins have been studied for their ability to deter predators and their cytolytic effects, suggesting these compounds play significant roles in their ecological interactions.
- Recent research focused on secondary metabolites from the starfish Asterias amurensis, hypothesizing they may harm marine fish eggs, specifically medaka, by separating and identifying two harmful oligoglycosides.
- The identified compounds showed strong lethality and caused severe developmental issues in medaka embryos, highlighting potential ecological impacts on species sharing habitats with starfish.
Mislabeled and ambiguous market names in invertebrate and finfish seafood conceal species of conservation concern in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Background: The mislabeling of seafood, wherein a food product's marketed name does not match its contents, has the potential to mask species of conservation concern. Less discussed is the role of legally ambiguous market names, wherein a single name could be used to sell multiple species. Here we report the first study in Canada to examine mislabeling and ambiguous market names in both invertebrate (.

Aquatic products are highly susceptible to spoilage, and preparing composite edible film with essential oil is an effective solution. In this study, composite edible films were prepared using perilla essential oil (PEO)-glycerol monolaurate emulsions incorporated with chitosan and nisin, and the film formulation was optimized by response surface methodology. These films were applied to ready-to-eat fish balls and evaluated over a period of 12 days.

In Acanthocephala, the ovarian balls (floating ovaries) are distinctive structures found suspended in the fluid-filled metasoma of females and are responsible for egg production and maturation. Those structures have not been studied in . We aimed to investigate their ultra-structure by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

This study examined the effects of cooking methods (boiling, steaming, pan-frying, oven-roasting, and microwave cooking) and turmeric powder (TP) addition on the physicochemical properties and oxidative stability of fish balls. Higher cooking temperatures increased moisture evaporation. Pre-cooking before freezing reduced hydroperoxide and malondialdehyde levels in fish balls over 4 months of storage, especially noticeable in boiled, pan-fried, and oven-roasted fish balls.
