. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence rate of brucellosis, leptospirosis, and chlamydiosis in the offspring of free-living sea lions ( Zalophus californianus ) in the Mexican Gulf of California. The work was carried out across six islands where reproduction takes place. Sixty-one blood samples were collected from seemingly healthy sea lions from six to eight weeks old. For diagnosis, serum was obtained by venae cavae puncture. In the search for smooth Brucella spp., based on phenotypic characterization, antigens were detected employing an antigen test for Brucella abortus , strain 1119-3. In the case of leptospirosis, the serological diagnosis was carried out by microscopic agglutination to identify 12 Leptospira interrogans serotypes. Lastly, Chlamydia abortus was identified using commercial ELISA (ID Screen ® ). All 61 serum samples presented negative results for the B. abortus antigen and the C. abortus ELISA . The serological diagnosis for leptospirosis showed that 29 out of 61 sera were negative (47.5%) for all serotypes, and 32 out of 61 were positive (52.5%) for at least one serotype. After studying the three diseases, results suggest that the presence of antigens against Leptospira is a potential threat to the protected sea lions from the Gulf of California.
． 本研究旨在调查加州墨西哥湾自由生活海狮(Zalophus californianus)后代布鲁氏菌病、钩端螺旋体病和衣原体病的患病率。这项工作在六个进行繁殖的岛屿上进行。他们从六到八周大的海狮身上采集了61份看似健康的血液样本。经腔静脉穿刺取血清诊断。为了寻找光滑布鲁氏菌，在表型特征的基础上，采用抗原检测的抗原流产布鲁氏菌，菌株1119-3。在钩端螺旋体病例中，通过显微镜凝集进行血清学诊断，鉴定出12种钩端螺旋体血清型。最后，使用商用ELISA (ID Screen®)对流产衣原体进行鉴定。所有61份血清样本均为流产双球菌抗原阴性和流产双球菌酶联免疫吸附试验阴性。钩端螺旋体病的血清学诊断结果显示，61份血清中29份所有血清型均为阴性(47.5%)，61份血清中32份至少一种血清型呈阳性(52.5%)。在研究了这三种疾病后，结果表明，钩端螺旋体抗原的存在对加利福尼亚湾受保护的海狮是一个潜在的威胁。

Salinization has become one of the main environmental problems affecting the worldwide ecological balance. The effluent discharge of saline industrial effluents, such as marine aquaculture, and its rapid increase in global production in the last decades has become an important part of this problem. The halophyte Sarcocornia neei (Lag.) has proven its ability to remove and assimilate nutrients from saline wastewater, making it a promising candidate for application in phytoremediation systems. In this study, its ability to reduce water salinity was evaluated. For this purpose, the plants were reared for 53 days in artificial effluents at four different salinities: A) 0, B) 10, C) 20, and D) 30 g L-1. A significant salt reduction was obtained in all treatments with NaCl addition. The maximum decrease was achieved in treatment C, reducing 6.91 ± 1.52 g L-1, approximately 35% of the total added at the beginning of the trials. Plants tolerated all salt content ranges; no mortality or salt stress symptoms were observed in any treatment. The results obtained are a first approach suggesting that S. neei could be used for bio-desalination of saline wastewater. Further studies are needed to evaluate its application in pilot systems integrated into saline industrial effluents.
盐碱化已成为影响全球生态平衡的主要环境问题之一。海水养殖等含盐工业废水的排放及其在过去几十年中在全球产量的快速增长已成为这一问题的重要组成部分。盐生植物Sarcocornia neei（Lag.）已证明其具有从含盐废水中去除和吸收营养物质的能力，使其成为植物修复系统中应用的一个有前途的候选者。在这项研究中，对其降低水盐度的能力进行了评估。为此，将植物在四种不同盐度（A）0、B）10、C）20和D）30 g L-1的人工流出物中饲养53天。在添加NaCl的所有处理中都获得了显著的盐减少。治疗C的降幅最大，减少了6.91±1.52 g L-1，约占试验开始时添加总量的35%。植物耐受所有含盐范围；在任何治疗中均未观察到死亡或盐应激症状。研究结果首次表明，印楝可用于含盐废水的生物脱盐。需要进一步的研究来评估其在集成到含盐工业废水中的中试系统中的应用。

The Northeastern Pacific (NEP) population of white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias) is genetically distinct from the rest of the world. This uniqueness results from adult fidelity to central California and Guadalupe Island aggregations sites. The strong mitochondrial genetic structure between the white sharks of central California and Guadalupe Island is also present, which indicates female philopatry. To date, few studies using nuclear DNA have found evidence of genetic patterns in the NEP white shark population, which could indicate that these sharks exhibit sex-biased dispersal. In this study, we evaluated the genetic structure, connectivity, and genetic diversity of NEP white sharks using samples from the southern California Bight (SCB), Baja California (including Sebastian Vizcaino Bay), the Gulf of California, and Guadalupe Island (GI) using nDNA (i.e. microsatellite loci). A total of five loci were successfully genotyped in 54 individuals. The patterns found in this study indicated low levels of genetic diversity among all localities (observed heterozygosity: Ho = 0.47), likely due to a founder effect. A slight genetic structure was present for NEP localities in this study (FST = 0.045, P = 0.0001), mainly identified between the SCB and GI locations. A sibship assignment analysis indicated low and moderate probabilities of full- and half-siblings between white shark juveniles from coastal areas, suggesting a high degree of connectivity between nursery areas in the NEP. Our results suggest that juveniles can mask the genetic structure in coastal zones.

The aim of this study was a detection of different populations of Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei Boone, 1931) farmed broodstocks and to determine their genetic indexes in hatchery centers of Bushehr province. DNA was extracted from the muscle tissue of 30 broodstocks of 11 stocks using a commercial kit. The repeated sequences were amplified using ten specific primers by PCR in the Iranian Shrimp Center. The results showed that the number of alleles was 4.5-5.5 in the studied stocks. The most allele frequency was observed in the farmed broad stocks of the third stock in the H2 hatchery center, 5.2 ± 0/359. Also, the average of observed heterozygosity in the farmed broad stocks of the second stock in the H5 hatchery center obtained 0.669 ± 0.152, more than other stocks in all centers. Genetics indexes of the farmed broad stocks of the third stock in the H2 hatchery center were increased compared with other stocks in Bucher province. The inbreeding coefficients of the first stocks in the H1 and H3 hatchery centers were significantly more than others, respectively, 0.595 ± 0.105 and 0.547 ± 0.145. The increased inbreeding coefficients of the farmed broad stocks in these stocks can be referred to due to the small size of the founder population and biased selection programs. However, this amount is acceptable according to the information of the other hatchery centers in Bushehr province and other countries. Moreover, it was concluded that broodstock with higher diversity should be used to increase the genetic indicators in the hatchery centers.

The snail Trochita trochiformis is a mollusk captured on the coasts of Jalisco and Guerrero of the Mexican Pacific. Despite its importance in artisanal fisheries, information on its population parameters is still being determined. This research aimed to determine the diameter-weight relationship, sex ratio, cohorts, and growth of this species. Specimens were captured from October 2019 to September 2021. Shell diameter (Sd), total weight (Tw), and the sex of the organisms were gathered from a total of 1763 females and 956 males. The sex ratio was 1.84:1, and the X2 test (P < 0.05) indicated significant differences. The Sd-Tw relationship for females and males was potential-type. The values of the allometry coefficient for both sexes were b = 2.61, b = 2.60 for females, and b = 2.62 for males. In all three cases, the t-Student test indicated negative allometric growth, which indicates that the species first grows in shell diameter, then in body weight. The ANCOVA did not show significant differences in the Sd-Tw relationships between sexes (P = 0.902). The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test applied to the Sd data showed differences between sexes (P < 0.001). In females, differences were observed in 71.5% by monthly comparisons, while in males, differences were found in 58.1%. Multinomial analysis showed three modal groups and 14 individual cohorts for both females and males. Case 2 of the Schnute model was the best for females (wi = 0.39) and males (wi = 0.53), showing sigmoidal Gompertz-type growth. The resulting growth curves showed that females exhibit accelerated growth concerning males and that both sexes reach their maximum size, 88.04 and 86.23 mm, respectively, at approximately 10 years of age.

Plastic pollution has not raised much attention until the 2000s, despite being manufactured for about a century. It is now considered one of the most substantial environmental issues. Here we investigate the presence of plastic contamination in 34 stranded animals on the coast of French Guiana, South America. Here we present information highlighting the magnitude of plastic contamination in marine coastal and pelagic tropical marine vertebrates on the Equatorial Atlantic coast of South America. All four species studied here are protected and emblematic vertebrates of the region, with a fragile conservation status, including the olive ridley turtle Lepidochelys olivacea, the green turtle Chelonia mydas and the leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea, and a small cetacean, the Guiana dolphin Sotalia guianensis. Macroplastics (polypropylene, polyethylene, terephthalate, and polystyrene) were detected in four juvenile green turtles. Microplastics (polypropylene, polyethylene, terephthalate, polystyrene, nylon, acrylates, polycarbonates) were found in 13 individuals (two dolphins, six olive ridleys, four green turtles, and the leatherback turtle). The sampled species have different diets, distribution patterns, and ages, suggesting widespread plastic pollution. The study area is located far from the oceanic gyres. However, they are influenced by the North Brazilian Current, the Amazon River, and other rivers of the Guianas.

Thousands of seahorses are traded every year as marine ornamental species. Although packing methods for live adult seahorses have already been addressed, there is no information on the transportation of juvenile seahorses. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the possibility of packing and transportation for newly-birthed seahorses. Three batches of newborn long-snout seahorses Hippocampus reidi were transported in three independent events from Ubatuba, north coast of São Paulo, to the city of São Paulo, covering 248 km in each trip, with an average duration of 3.5 h. A mean of 350 offspring of one day old was distributed in 1 L containers with round borders at equal densities, provided with constant aeration by portable pumps. Aeration was kept so that large bubbles would create an ascending flow keeping juveniles in suspension throughout transportation. Values of survival achieved in this study, even after 10 days post-transportation, were surprisingly high, reaching over 70%. No significant shift in water temperature, pH, or salinity was observed for any transportation events. For oxygen levels, although portable pumps were used, a drop of around 15% in DO level was recorded. In view of the trending ornamental fish market, considering the limited swimming capacity of newly born seahorses and that a great number of marine fish undergo a planktonic phase, this study provides important directions to a better understanding on seahorse transportation and yet, directions for the design of new transport methodology for an efficient shipping protocol for other species.

Escaped salmonids are considered among the most serious threats to the aquatic environment. One hundred and nine escape incidents were reported in Chile from 2004-2021, representing some 8.53 million escaped salmonids. Of this total, 5.73 million were Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (67.2%), 0.83 million coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch (9.8%), and 1.96 million were rainbow trout O. mykiss (23.0%). It is estimated that 70.1% of the escaped salmonids were recorded in the Los Lagos Region, 23% in the Aysén Region, and 4.6% in the Magallanes Region. In total, 80.5% of the escapes were recorded from seawater facilities, while freshwater units accounted for 19.5%. The highest percentage of escaped salmon recorded in seawater over 2004-2021 was 1.71% of harvested salmonids in 2013. Some 39.5% of the escapes in 2015-2021 were attributed to rupturing of net cages, mainly due to adverse climatic conditions. The additional regulations introduced in 2020 by the Chilean authority, has helped to minimize the escape of farmed salmonids. As a consequence, just one escape event was reported in 2021, corresponding to 3.85% of the total number of escapees recorded from 2004-2021.

The replacement of fishmeal with plant protein sources has been studied in Penaeus vannamei. However, it has only been studied from the point of view of protein replacement, forgetting the integral role that fishmeal plays in the nutrition of shrimp. This study aimed to determine if a supplement of dietary phosphorus can sustain the fishmeal replacement by a blend of plant protein feedstuffs, with betaine and tauren as attractants and still supporting homeostasis, growth, digestive enzymes, and lipid-soluble antioxidant systems at normal levels in juveniles of P. vannamei. A standard feed (25% fishmeal) for juvenile P. vannamei was partially replaced with a mix of plant ingredients (soybean and canola paste, soy protein concentrate, and wheat meal). These feedstuffs were supplemented with amino acids (MET, LYS, TAU) plus microencapsulated exogenous phytase, betaine, and dicalphosphate. P. vannamei juveniles (2.56 g) were maintained in 100 L fiber tanks for 70 days. Biomass was significantly affected by the treatments (P < 0.05), being better as the fishmeal was replaced in the diet and comparable to commercial feed. No significant changes were observed in blood parameters. Muscle superoxide dismutase activity was significantly affected by the diets (P < 0.05). There were adaptive changes in digestive enzymes, and homeostasis remained stable. Fishmeal replacement may depend on supplementation with taurine and soluble phosphorus, not only for performance but flesh quality, and here, the shear strength of the shrimp muscle remained within the acceptable value (69-81 mJ).

Ractopamine is a drug used as an additive in animal production to improve growth, body composition, and production efficiency, although its use in fish is still poorly known. This study aimed to evaluate ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) effects at increasing levels (0, 10, 20, and 40 mg kg-1) in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diets during 40 days by considering growth performance, body composition, and muscle fiber morphometry. One hundred and twelve fish (mean initial weight 518.63 ± 5.49 g) were housed in 16 circular tanks (450 L), following a completed randomized design with four treatments and four replicates. Body composition was significantly affected (P < 0.05), and the content of lipids in fish fillets dropped 26.7% (20 mg kg-1 RAC) and 26.1% (40 mg kg-1 RAC), as well as the amount of unsaturated fatty acids C14:0 and C18:0 in fish fillets (P < 0.05) by treatment with 10 mg kg-1 of RAC. Results demonstrate that fish fed 20 mg kg-1 RAC for 40 days changed Nile tilapia fillet chemical composition, decreasing lipid levels, altering the fatty acid profile, and increasing protein levels. RAC did not affect any productive performance parameters evaluated for muscle fiber morphometry.
