Heliyon
June 2024
Institute of Anthropic Impacts and Sustainability in the Marine Environment (IAS), National Research Council of Italy (IAS-CNR), Trapani, 91021, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the nutritional composition and safety of lab-produced snail flour from herbivorous snails, focusing on essential nutrients like moisture, protein, and fat.
- Contaminant analysis showed no detectable levels of harmful substances like PAHs and PCBs, with heavy metal concentrations comparable to or lower than existing data, indicating the flour's safety for consumption.
- The findings highlight a significant presence of polyunsaturated fatty acids and essential amino acids, supporting the use of snail flour as a sustainable protein source for both human and animal diets.

The Arctic marine environment is highly affected by global warming with notable changes in habitat conditions, which have great consequences on migrating species. For example, the timing of their migration can be altered leading to changes in their occurrence in suitable areas, which are critical for their survival. In this study, seven years of acoustic data were analysed in Svalbard Islands from 2014 to 2020, revealing that the occurrence of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) happened all year-round.

Institute for Biological Resources and Marine Biotechnology (IRBIM), National Research Council of Italy (CNR), 60125, Ancona, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic offered a chance to analyze how fishing efforts in the Adriatic Sea responded to reduced hours and regulations, highlighting fleet resilience.
- The research used Automatic Identification System data from 2015 to 2020 to assess fishing fleet activity and identify trends based on different gear types.
- The study found that Adriatic fishing fleets exert significant stress on endangered, threatened, and protected species, suggesting they are resilient and comparable to predators with a notable impact on marine ecosystems.
