Summary: The study reveals the seasonality and abundance of milkfish fry in the coastal shoreline of Teouma Bay at Efate Island, Vanuatu. It found that the annual milkfish fry seasonality was from October to May, with higher abundance during the wet season compared to the dry season. Further assessment at multiple sites is recommended to support potential food sources.

Summary: Histological study of ground sections of the supra-orbital bone of Chanos chanos confirms the presence of true enclosed star-shaped osteocytes, classifying it as a cellular-bone fish. Additionally, the histological organization indicates that the supra-orbital is an hyperostotic-like formation.

Summary: The study utilized probiotics to improve the growth and survival rate of milkfish in polluted river systems, leading to higher dissolved oxygen and lower BOD and nitrate levels in treated ponds. However, there was an increase in ammonia and COD in the probiotic ponds. The probiotics positively impacted fish health and water quality, but also resulted in some adverse effects on certain water quality parameters.

Summary: This study investigated how differences in the C/N ratio affected the microbial decomposition of composite waste from fish and vegetables, leading to the development of composite silage. The results showed that the carbon/nitrogen ratio had a significant impact on microbial ensilage, suggesting that the best combination of the C/N ratio can effectively ensilage these two different stream wastes as animal feed ingredients in the aquaculture industry.

Summary: A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of natural astaxanthin derived from shrimp shell meal (SSM), supplemented with its commercial variant, on the gonadal maturation and vitellogenin gene expression in captive reared discus fish. The results showed that the inclusion of SSM in the diet increased gonadosomatic index (GSI) and hepato-somatic index (HSI), as well as the levels of cholesterol, FSH, LH, 11-KT, 17β-Estradiol, and 17α-20β DHP. The study suggests that the combination of SSM and commercial astaxanthin could potentially enhance the reproductive performance of discus fish.

Summary: The study provides specific data on the seasonal variation of microplastic abundance and characteristics in coastal sediments along the North Eastern Arabian Sea, India. The abundance of microplastics in the sediments ranged from 4400 to 15,300 items/kg dry weight, with the dominant size ranging between 100 and 500 μm. Fibers were the most dominant form in the sediment samples, followed by fragments. The study identified ten different microplastic polymers, with polyethylene, polyester, and polyamide being the most dominant, and all plastic items in the sediments were denser than water, except polyethylene.

Summary: Skill development training aims to impart new knowledge and skill as well as build up favourable attitude among trainees. Evaluating the farmers' knowledge and attitude towards skill development trainings will help to assess effectiveness of training as well as adoption probability of the acquired knowledge/skill. This research paper evaluated the impact of skill development training on fish farmers' knowledge and attitude, in different districts of Bihar.

Summary: In this study, Tilapia fish protein concentrate (FPC) (5%) and seaweed (Portieria hornemanii) (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%) were added to cookie formulation, resulting in improved nutritional composition and sensory acceptance of the cookies. The findings suggest that seaweed and FPC can be used to develop nutritionally improved and palatable cookies.

Summary: A simple and environmentally viable protocol was developed to synthesize non-agglomerated and colloidal silver nanoparticles using extracts of discarded wastes from tilapia. The synthesized nanoparticles showed potential antimicrobial activity and were successfully trapped in natural zeolites for ammonia removal. This study not only provides a green synthesis method, but also contributes to the utilization of fish wastes in waste management.

Summary: This study reports the presence of microplastics in 21 different species of marine dried fish products from India. All samples contained microplastics, with the majority being fragments (56%) and below 100 μm in size (47%). Eviscerated fish had significantly higher amounts of microplastics compared to whole fish. Polypropylene, low density polyethylene, and polystyrene were among the identified polymer types. The high risk index of microplastics at different stations suggests a significant threat to consumer safety, and further research is needed to assess the potential effects on human health.

Summary: This study aimed to treat smoker's palate (SP) using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT). The findings showed a significant improvement in the clinical features of SP after treatment with 5-ALA-mediated PDT. Therefore, 5-ALA-mediated PDT combined with smoking cessation appears to be a promising treatment option.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the frequency of positioning errors, inappropriate images, and quality of panoramic radiographs. Out of 2629 patients selected, 32.8% of radiographs had no errors and 77.2% had at least one positioning error. The most common error found was the failure to place the tongue close to the palate. The results suggest that attention to patient positioning and reducing diagnostic errors can improve the quality of panoramic radiographs.

Summary: In this study, an effective and eco-friendly enzymatic process was developed to extract carotenoproteins from shrimp waste. The optimized enzymatic hydrolysis conditions resulted in high degrees of deproteinization for both shrimp head waste (96.72%) and shrimp shell waste (92.32%). The carotenoproteins obtained showed favorable attributes in terms of color, nutritional composition, and functional properties, indicating their potential applicability in various domains.
