Summary: This study examined the impact of nutritional condition on the subsequent attachment and retention of mussel spat in aquaculture. It was found that starving the spat led to decreased attachment, growth, soft tissue deposition, and energy reserves, and after seeding onto farms, the spat experienced poor local feeding and environmental conditions. Thus, while providing short-term feeding for spat prior to seeding improved their immediate condition, long-term performance post-seeding may rely more on favorable farm site conditions.

Summary: This study aimed to identify reliable screening biomarkers in the early life stages of selectively-bred/hatchery reared green-lipped mussel through lipid quantification using confocal laser scanning microscopy and image analysis, as well as Iatroscan thin layer chromatography/flame ionization detection. The results showed that both methods were successful in detecting differences among larval groups with different genetic backgrounds and growing environments, providing important insights for early screening.

Summary: Liquid smoke prepared by fast pyrolysis technology showed high antioxidant capacity and safety similar to commercial products. Application of this liquid smoke on green lipped mussel meat demonstrated inhibition of bacteria growth and minimal changes in meat texture over a 30-day refrigerated storage period, with only darkening of color and decreased hardness observed.

Summary: Microplastics were found in green-lipped mussels collected from five mariculture sites in Hong Kong, with an average of 1.60-14.7 particles per mussel per site. It was estimated that the population in Hong Kong could ingest up to 10,380 pieces of microplastics per person per year through consumption of these contaminated mussels, indicating a potential human health risk in the region.

Summary: Intervention studies using New Zealand green-lipped or greenshell mussel extract in osteoarthritis patients have shown effective pain relief and improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms for those taking anti-inflammatory medications. However, further larger and high-quality studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness and identify the optimal format for using the extract.

Summary: The green-lipped mussel is an important species in New Zealand, but harmful algal blooms of Alexandrium spp. and reduced wild spat catch have posed a threat to its development. This study investigated the effects of Alexandrium pacificum and A. minutum on the development of mussel larvae and found that both species negatively impacted early life stages, with A. pacificum causing lysis of embryos and reduced larval growth. The findings highlight the potential harm of Alexandrium spp. blooms to the vulnerable early life stages of the green-lipped mussel.

Summary: This study aimed to confirm the use of marine mussels' byssus (BYS) as a biomonitoring biopolymer for zinc (Zn) by comparing it to copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) pollution in coastal waters. The results showed that BYS was a more sensitive and accumulative biopolymer for the three metals compared to total soft tissues (TST). Additionally, BYS was a better biomonitoring biopolymer for identifying coastal areas exposed to Zn, Cd, and Cu pollution and demonstrated the role of the BYS as a route for the excretion of metal wastes. Furthermore, BYS was more reflective of metal bioavailability and pollution in coastal waters.

Summary: This study analyzes the efficiency and connectedness among different assets, including halal tourism stocks, green stocks, cryptocurrency, gold, and oil. The findings show that gold is the most efficient asset, and halal tourism stocks are more efficient than green stocks. The study also identifies the role of different assets as transmitters or receivers of return shocks in different market conditions. During major economic events, such as COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war, the connectedness among the assets increases. Portfolio analysis indicates that the minimum connectedness portfolio outperforms other methods and highlights the hedging effectiveness of halal tourism and green stocks. These findings have important implications for investors and policymakers in managing portfolios, risks, and information regulation during financial turmoil and asymmetric market conditions.

Summary: This article investigates the attitudes of environmental protection specialists towards concepts related to economic growth and environmental sustainability. The results show that these specialists prefer growth-critical concepts such as a-growth, post-growth, and degrowth over green growth, with a-growth/post-growth being the most favored concept. The preferences are stable across different measures and specialists with more knowledge on the concepts are more likely to prefer growth-critical concepts.

Summary: This article explores the field of ship recycling. Ship recycling has often been criticized for its poor health and safety conditions at breaking destinations in the Global South. However, this article considers ship recycling as a potential future source of secondary steel in green transformations. The analysis includes an examination of forthcoming changes in the regulatory framework, an initial assessment of publicly available data on steel stocks, and a local case study. The article assesses the ability of Bremen, a city in Northern Germany, to gain a significant market share in the future.

Summary: The New Zealand aquaculture industry is focused on Greenshell mussels, Chinook salmon and Pacific oysters, with a goal to increase export earnings to NZ$3 billion by 2035. To maintain its 'clean and green' image, the industry must demonstrate sustainable practices. Although there are regulatory barriers and lack of investment, the development of IMTA systems presents opportunities for sustainable farming designs and diversification within the sector.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.

Summary: This study developed a centrifugal microfluidic chip with on-chip RPA to detect five pathogenic microorganisms. The chip enabled the parallel analysis of six genetic markers from a single sample and allowed for the highly automated detection of multiple samples. Compared with PCR and DNA sequencing, the on-chip RPA assay showed high sensitivity and specificity for detecting multiple pathogens in shrimp aquaculture.
