Article Abstract
There is a widespread perception that illegal fishing is common in marine protected areas (MPAs) due to strong incentives for poaching and the high cost of monitoring and enforcement. Using artificial intelligence and satellite-based Earth observations, we provide estimates of industrial fishing activity in fully and highly protected MPAs worldwide, in which such fishing is banned. We find little to no activity in most cases. On average, these MPAs had just one fishing vessel present per 20,000 square kilometers during the satellite overpass, a density nine times lower than that of the unprotected waters of exclusive economic zones.

Based on the limited hepatic hydroxylation efficiency of dietary VD3 in teleosts and the superior bioavailability of its metabolite, 25(OH)D3, this study investigated the regulatory mechanisms of dietary 25(OH)D3 supplementation in yellow catfish-an economically significant species lacking prior nutritional data on this metabolite. A total of 360 fish were divided into three groups-control (basal diet), VD3 (2500 IU/kg VD3), and 25(OH)D3 (2500 IU/kg 25(OH)D3)-and fed for 8 weeks. Compared to the control, both supplemented groups showed elevated superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), catalase (CAT), and transforming growth factor-β () activities, alongside reduced malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-1β (), and tumor necrosis factor-α () levels.

The aquaculture industry has experienced considerable growth in recent decades, stimulating research into sustainable and functional feed formulations, mainly related to using high-quality, safe, and environmentally friendly feed ingredients. The employment of immunomodulatory additives is a promising strategy to enhance fish health and performance. In this study, the effects of the ghrelin analog GHRP-6 peptide included in the diet (500 µg/kg of feed) on the endocrine and immune responses of following Incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) treatment were assessed.

The Lower Meghna River (LMR), located in one of Bangladesh's most arsenic-contaminated regions, is essential for local fisheries and provides water for drinking, irrigation, and daily use. Consequently, this study investigates arsenic accumulation in ten edible, small indigenous species (SIS) of fish, considering their morphology, habitats, diets, and water and sediment conditions. Samples were analysed across three distinct river segments during three seasons.

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture is a major industry in several countries worldwide and a growing enterprise in others. One of the main challenges the industry faces is infestations with the parasitic copepod Lepeoptheirus salmonis, or salmon lice. Several different chemical and mechanical methods are available for alleviating the problem, but often at cost to salmon welfare and/or the environment.

Grass carp reovirus type II (GCRV-II) has inflicted substantial economic damage to aquaculture industry due to highly contagious. To combat epidemic GCRV-II, we rational designed and constructed a multi-epitope nanoparticle vaccine (Pep-Fn) that consisted with cell penetrating peptide (CPP), epitope peptides, cell and grass carp-derived ferritin. Firstly, an anti-GCRV-II phage antibody library was constructed to screen antibodies for outer capsid proteins VP4 and VP35.
