Summary: Anaerobic digestion applied to brackish water fish sludges shows promising methane production with the highest BMP achieved at the highest I/S ratio. The research focuses on BMP analysis, revealing the impact of different I/S ratios on methane production and the duration of lag-phase, with further investigations on biomass adaptation to salinity and retention times needed for full-scale application. Ongoing experimental tests are being conducted to explore these areas further.

Summary: The distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in brackish water aquaculture sediment is similar to that in freshwater aquaculture, with the sulfonamide resistance gene sul1 as the indicator. The dominant phyla are Proteobacteria and Firmicutes, with Paenisporosarcina as the dominant genus. The microbial community in brackish water aquaculture sediment is function-driven and influenced by environmental factors and aquaculture activities. Overall, brackish water aquaculture serves as a reservoir for ARGs.

Summary: The rapid development of the aquaculture industry has led to a significant increase in aquaculture wastewater generation. Microalgae bioremediation could be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for treating aquaculture wastewater and producing valuable microalgal biomass. This study investigated the feasibility of using microalgae to treat brackish wastewater generated from a commercial tilapia farm in Qatar. Four candidate strains (Haematococcus sp., Neochloris sp., Monoraphidium sp., and Nostoc sp.) were shortlisted based on their nitrogen assimilation, biomass yield, biomass quality, and ease of harvesting. Among them, Neochloris sp. showed the highest biomass yield and could potentially be a suitable candidate for aquaculture wastewater treatment.

Summary: The study found that microplastics were present in both farmed and natural freshwater fish, with fragments being the predominant type in tissues from both sources. Different types of polymers were observed in farmed versus natural fish, with the edible flesh containing fewer microplastics compared to stomach and gill tissues.

Summary: Due to the challenges posed by the volatility of ammonia and the condensation of water and ammonia, obtaining high concentration ammonia or high-quality water using conventional vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) is difficult. This study developed a reactive VMD (RVMD) with a two-stage downstream system to simultaneously recover ammonia and water from brackish aquaculture effluent with dilute ammonia content. The RVMD system allowed for the complete recovery of dilute ammonia in acid solution, intensifying the separation factor (SF) and concentration factor (CF) by 16 times within 2 hours compared to a conventional VMD system. The RVMD system dissolved ammonia in acid solution without chilling using an immersed trap tube, followed by water vapor condensation under chilling to obtain clean water. The recovered ammonia could be concentrated by 23 times with an SF of 148, while the recovered water had a very low ammonia content of 0.04 mg/L. These findings highlight the superior performance of RVMD with a two-stage downstream system in concentrating ammonia and purifying water.

Summary: The number of hatched mangrove oysters in four estuaries along the Gulf of Guinea coast varied seasonally and spatially, with significant differences observed. The availability of spat was higher during the dry season, and locations with reef oysters had higher spatfall than those with mangrove root-adapted oysters. Spatfall was influenced by fluctuations in dissolved oxygen and salinity, and the optimal levels for settlement were identified.

Summary: Since the discovery of SFTSV in China in 2009, it has quickly spread to other Asian countries. In 2020, Taiwan reported its first discovery of SFTSV in animals and humans. This study found a wide distribution and high prevalence of SFTSV in domestic animals and ticks in Taiwan. Sheep had the highest viral RNA prevalence, followed by beef cattle, goats, and dairy cows. The prevalence in ticks was similar to that in ruminants, but wild animals showed a much lower prevalence. The geographic distribution of positivity was fairly even across northern, central, southern, and eastern Taiwan.

Summary: Protein phosphorylation is crucial for cellular physiology and dysregulation of phosphorylation events can lead to diseases. Clinical analysis of disease-related phosphoproteins provides unique information for precision medicine. Mass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful tool for identifying and studying phosphorylation events, and recent advances in sample preparation and instrument technology have contributed to its clinical applications. Data-independent acquisition method in MS and biofluid-derived extracellular vesicles are promising directions for future research and liquid biopsy.

Summary: The study investigated the effect of tributyrin on the growth, survival, hypoxia tolerance, and nutrient digestibility of Pacific white shrimp fed different levels of soybean meal. Tributyrin supplementation at 0.1% significantly improved the weight gain and survival rate of shrimp fed 25% soybean meal. It also reduced Vibrio spp. counts and enhanced hypoxia tolerance. Overall, tributyrin was beneficial for the health of shrimp, especially those fed moderate levels of soybean meal (25%).

Summary: This study compared the pharmacokinetics and tissue concentration-time profiles of TZR and its metabolite, TZR-SO2, after oral and intramuscular administration to suckling piglets. The results showed that the oral formulation exhibited faster absorption and higher concentrations in the liver, while the intramuscular formulation had higher concentrations in the jejunum. Both formulations generated sufficient concentrations in the serum and jejunum to protect against Cystoisospora suis infection.

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.
