Sansha and Luoyuan Bay are influenced by different industrial structure, but the sources and pollution status of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), especially alkylated PAHs, are poorly understood. We studied 25 PAHs in surface sediments from the two bays. The results showed that PAHs concentrations in Sansha and Luoyuan Bay sediment range from 6.54 to 479.28 ng/g and 118.82 to 2984.09 ng/g, respectively. Alkylated PAHs dominated in Sansha (48.86 % of ΣPAHs), while 3-ring PAHs dominated in Luoyuan (36.32 % of ∑PAHs). Results of sources analysis indicated oil spills as the main PAHs source in Sansha, and domestic emissions and fossil fuel combustion in Luoyuan. Ecological risk assessment of showed low sediment risk, but in Luoyuan was higher than in Sansha. Compared with Luoyuan Bay, Sansha Bay emits less industrial pollutants, so the pollution is lower than Luoyuan Bay. Increased attention to protecting Luoyuan Bay is recommended.

Despite concerns about overfishing and the potential impact of release programs on wild populations, our study of 3116 individuals from 13 wild populations and 2787 individuals from two cultured populations in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces spanning 2008 to 2023 reveals a relatively stable genetic diversity in . Surprisingly, the genetic diversity of wild large yellow croaker populations has remained consistent over the years, suggesting minimal influence from population declines due to overfishing. With the exception of populations in Sansha Bay and Luoyuan Bay, no significant genetic differences were observed among wild populations, indicating a single panmictic genetic population across the East and South China seas.

This study was carried out in Luoyuan Bay in March 2021. The species composition of microalgae community colonizing on microplastics called epimicroplastic microalgae (EMP-MA) was analyzed and compared with planktonic microalgae (PM) community. The species number of EMP-MA community (73) was higher than that of PM community (56).

Luoyuan Bay is a mariculture influenced water body located in southeastern China. Multi-statistical techniques were applied to 21 sampling locations in the bay to identify the sources of microplastics and other pollutants in the sediment. In microplastics detection, fragment was the most abundant shape (~36%), and rayon was the dominant polymer (~59%).

The concentrations of eight heavy metals, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb, were analyzed to explore the environmental pollution characteristics, ecological risk levels, and sources of heavy metals in the surface sediments of Luoyuan Bay in Fujian Province. The results indicated that the mean concentrations of V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb were 110.44, 97.
