NewsUnsafe water still drives global diarrheal disease burden
A new study, analysing data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database, found that deaths and disability-adjusted life years linked to unsafe water have declined sharply over the last three decades. Nevertheless, the burden remains concentrated in low socio-demographic index regions.

NewsHow cyanobacteria developed photosynthetic membranes over the course of evolution
New research analyses hundreds of cyanobacterial genomes to understand the origin of thylakoids, the internal membranes involved in photosynthesis.

NewsMovement of “forever chemicals” through the Great Lakes
New analysis of 42 years worth of biological records from the Great Lakes, unveils how per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) or “forever chemicals” have moved across the region, contaminating a variety of wildlife.

NewsHow sea-ice microbes survive the Southern Ocean’s harsh winter, and the implications for climate change
New study reinforces the importance of the Southern Ocean marginal ice zone as a critical hotspot for global sulfur cycling where biogeochemical processes for climate regulation are enhanced.

NewsEffects of polystyrene nanoplastics and organophosphorus flame retardants on salamander gut-liver axis
New research reveals the effects of polystyrene nanoplastic and the organophosphorus flame retardant exposure on the gut-liver axis of salamanders.

NewsExploring potential of virovory in combating harmful algal blooms
Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can close lakes, contaminate drinking water and pose risks to human health. A new project is exploring an unlikely tool for mitigating these blooms: virovory, the phenomenon of organisms eating viruses as a food source.

NewsResearchers come up with novel strategies for coral restoration
Scientists have discovered a new way to help lab-grown baby corals survive through the early life stage. If young mountainous star corals are grown on cement tiles formulated with sodium carbonate, which raises the alkalinity of the water, they survive much better than the average lab-grown corals.

NewsOysters play unexpected role in protecting blue crabs from disease
Oysters famously filter their surrounding water, but it turns out they are removing more than algae and excess nutrients. New research shows they can also reduce the spread of disease in nearby marine species, including Chesapeake Bay’s prized blue crabs.

NewsStudent focused on pathogens says new award has opened a door to span aquaculture and ecology
A University of Stirling student who is the latest recipient of the Nikos Steiropoulos Aquaculture Scholarship from MSD Animal Health UK says the award has helped to “open a door she could only have dreamed of”.

NewsTraditional herb boosts fish health and immunity, study reveals
A groundbreaking study reveals how the traditional herb Picria fel-terrae (PFL) can significantly improve fish health. When added to fish feed at just 0.1% concentration for six weeks, the herb maintained healthy gut structure while reducing inflammation.

NewsPeanut shell biochar composite shows promise for removing antibiotic-resistant bacteria from aquaculture wastewater
Researchers have developed a novel, low-cost catalyst that efficiently removes antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) from aquaculture wastewater, offering a potential new solution to one of today’s most pressing environmental and public health challenges.
-
NewsNatural algal communities can inhibit aquaculture pathogens
A new study has demonstrated that it is possible to develop a consortium of bacteria that can inhibit bacterial pathogens in aquaculture. This could potentially reduce the use of antibiotics in aquaculture and possibly other applications.

NewsKīlauea volcano’s ash prompted largest open ocean phytoplankton bloom
Through satellite tracking, a global study uncovered the reasons behind the stimulation of phytoplankton growth in the North Pacific Ocean, linking to the deposition of ashes to the major eruption of the Kīlauea Volcano in 2018 and nutrient deprivation in the ocean.

NewsHow do microbiomes influence the study of life?
Researchers from the awardwinning One Health Microbiome Center reveal how holobiont biology underpins a holistic understanding of how life’s forms and functions, from human disease to agricultural output, depend upon the relationships between microbes and hosts.

FeaturesUsing microRNA as a biosensor in aquaculture
Although tiny in structure, microRNA could have a huge impact on understanding life and unlocking the advancement of technologies.

OpinionHow AI-designed probiotics can help aquaculture feed Humanity – the right way
Aquaculture is essential for meeting the growing global demand for fish. But in order to expand fish farming in a sustainable manner, innovative efforts are crucial.

FeaturesEvolution of the Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus and its potential reemergence
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus has long been a persistent threat to aquaculture, particularly the salmonid industry. Could the evolutionary fitness of IPNV, governed by quasi-species theory and high mutation rates, lead to a new outbreak.

NewsBacterial contamination and microplastics threaten Colombia’s largest and most productive coastal lagoon
A study warns of the presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria in microplastics extracted from water, sediments and the digestive tract of fish in the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, the largest and most productive coastal lagoon system in the Colombian Caribbean.

NewsOysters succumb to deadly viral outbreak - but only at higher water temperatures
Oyster farmers in San Diego Bay will be able to protect them from deadly viral outbreaks by growing them at times when the water is cooler, thanks to the findings of a new study.
