Article Abstract

Seafood is an important source of food and protein for humans. However, it is highly susceptible to microbial contamination, which has become a major challenge for the seafood processing industry. Bacteriophages are widely distributed in the environment and have been successfully used as biocontrol agents against pathogenic microorganisms in certain food processing applications. However, due to the influence of environmental factors and seafood matrices, using bacteriophages for commercial-scale biocontrol strategies still faces some challenges. This article briefly introduces the current processes used for the production and purification of bacteriophages, lists the latest findings on the application of phage-based biocontrol in seafood, summarizes the challenges faced at the current stage, and provides corresponding strategies for solving these issues.

Despite global phase-out initiatives, legacy polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remobilize in marine ecosystems as secondary emission sources, posing ecotoxicological and human health risks emerge through cross-trophic dietary exposure pathways. This study aimed to systematically examined the distribution, trophic transfer properties, and health risks of PCBs in six fish and eight invertebrate species from the Beibu Gulf in southern China, by stable isotope analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation. The ΣPCBs concentrations ranged from 0.
