Summary: Microplastics and antibiotics are common pollutants in the ocean. This study investigated the interactions between sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) and microplastics under different temperatures and salinities. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of SMZ on various microplastics was highest at 20°C, and salinity had a more significant effect than temperature. The hydrogen bond and pi-pi conjugation of microplastics played an important role in the adsorption of SMZ. This research provides a deeper understanding of the interaction between microplastics and antibiotics in the marine environment.

Summary: Global Climate Change (GCC) can alter physical parameters in oceans, such as salinity and temperature. This study examines the impact of different temperature and salinity levels on the growth of phytoplankton, and finds that different species of phytoplankton have varying responses to temperature and salinity.

Summary: This study compared the adaptation of tetraploid and diploid larvae to salinity and temperature, and found that tetraploid larvae have lower survival rates and growth rates than diploid larvae. The study also determined that a salinity range of 25-30 psu and a temperature range of 23-28℃ are the most suitable conditions for culturing tetraploid larvae.

Summary: Typhoon Chanthu has significant effects on chlorophyll a, temperature, and ocean surface salinity. Before the typhoon's transit, chlorophyll a and salinity are low, while sea surface temperature is high. After the typhoon passes, chlorophyll a and salinity increase, while sea surface temperature decreases. The mixing and entrainment caused by the typhoon lead to these changes.

Summary: Clay minerals have a significant impact on Earth's nitrogen cycle and the synthesis of organic compounds. We conducted laboratory experiments to examine the adsorption behavior of clay minerals under different environmental conditions. The results indicate that the adsorption capacity of clay minerals is dependent on the mineral type, pH, temperature, and salinity. Vermiculite and montmorillonite have higher adsorption capacities due to their ability to adsorb ammonium in interlayer sites.

Summary: In the Crimean Peninsula, hypersaline lakes are facing anthropogenic pressure and climate change, leading to negative impacts on the ecosystems. This study aims to investigate the seasonal variations of physicochemical parameters and Artemia population in Saki Lake in 2022. The findings demonstrate the fluctuations in the hypersaline ecosystem under ongoing climate change and can inform the management of mineral and biological resources in such water bodies.

Summary: This study investigates the formation of CH4 hydrates in clay nanopores under the influence of marine environmental factors such as seawater salinity, pressure, and temperature. The results reveal that high salinity hinders diffusion, high pressure promotes diffusion, and high temperature causes phase separation.

Summary: The newly identified parasitic ciliate Mesanophrys sp. showed highest survival, growth rate, and population density at lower temperatures and at a salinity level of 20 ppt. A pH of 8.0 was found to be optimal for parasite survival, while a pH of 9.5 inhibited its survival. The introduction of dynamic parasite culture systems with optimized dilution timing enabled continuous culture of parasites with higher population density and exponential growth rate.

Summary: Temperature and salinity can impact the physiological responses of aquaculture species. European sea bass and milkfish, farmed in Europe and Southeast Asia respectively, showed increased hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity in response to temperature challenges combined with hypo-osmotic stress over a four-week period. Despite differences in expression profiles, both species exhibited enhanced antioxidant responses under the conditions of the study.

Summary: Compound marine extreme events, such as marine heatwaves and low sea surface salinity, can have a significant impact on marine ecosystems. These events are mainly observed during El Nino events in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. The analysis suggests that extreme sea surface warming associated with El Nino drives increased convection, leading to increased rainfall and extreme sea surface freshening. This highlights the importance of air-sea interactions and low-frequency climate variability in shaping compound extreme events.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of different species of Vibrio spp. in fish and shellfish sold in subtropical-arid countries (United Arab Emirates). It also examined the antimicrobial resistance of the isolated species and their growth behavior upon in vitro environmental changes. The results showed a high prevalence of Vibrio spp. in fish and shellfish samples, with various species being identified. The isolates displayed resistance to several antibiotics, and the optimum temperature for Vibrio spp. growth was found to be 37 degrees C.

Summary: Veronaea botryosa is a dematiaceous fungus that causes systemic mycosis in sturgeons, with a greater persistence in fresh water microcosms than marine water. The fungus showed similar survival rates at different temperatures and salinities, but demonstrated susceptibility to specific disinfectants commonly used in aquatic facilities.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of biochar derived from different halophyte species on saline soils, revealing changes in biochar properties with increasing pyrolysis temperature. Application of Tamarix chinensis and Phragmites australis biochars showed improvements in soil water and salt content, with potential for maintaining stable soil pH levels. This research provides valuable insights for selecting halophyte types and optimizing pyrolytic temperatures for halophyte biochar production in specific environmental conditions.
