This study investigated the spatiotemporal variations in the diversity, community composition, and abundance of archaeal and bacterial <em>amoA</em> genes in sediments from Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass aquaculture area. Results revealed that AOB exhibited more OTUs as well as higher diversity and richness than AOA. Most AOA and AOB were classified into the genera <em>Nitrosopumilus</em> and <em>Nitrosomonas</em>, respectively. The highest abundance of <em>amoA</em> gene copies was observed in December. Although bioindicators for both AOA and AOB communities were detected across all sampling sites and times, none of them could be identified as aquaculture-derived indicators. Neutral community model indicated that AOB community assembly was primarily shaped by stochastic processes (R² = 88.6 %), whereas the AOA community was more influenced by environmental factors (R² = 61.3 %). Key environmental drivers, including bottom water temperature and sediment carbon content, significantly affected archaeal <em>amoA</em> gene abundance and AOA indicator abundance.

TWPs accumulate in landfills and enter aquatic systems through atmospheric fallout and runoff. TWPs substantially contribute to the presence of synthetic polymers in the ocean, with emissions making up a notable proportion. The primary concern of TWPs lies in the leaching of chemical additives and their transformation products. A prominent example is the highly toxic quinone transformation product of <em>N-</em>(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-<em>N'</em>-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD), a globally prevalent tire antioxidant. 6PPD-quinone was identified using Effect-Directed Analysis (EDA), a promising strategy for the identification of unknown toxic chemicals.

This study evaluates the long-term ecological responses of <em>S. plana,</em> addressing gaps in understanding its population dynamics, morphometric adaptations, and heavy metal bioaccumulation under sustained anthropogenic pressures and management interventions. Our results show high juvenile recruitment from summer to winter, creating a juvenile-dominated population. This demographic shift coincided with a reduction in asymptotic shell length from 50 mm in 1987–44 mm in 2022, suggesting phenotypic adaptations to altered environmental conditions potentially linked to climate change. Morphometric analysis showed isometric growth and a shift to elongated shells, likely enhancing feeding and burrowing efficiency under environmental pressures. Heavy metal levels in <em>S. plana</em> declined significantly from pre-project levels but remained concerning, particularly Cadmium (Cd), which reached 5.01 mg/kg dw, exceeding regulatory limits and significantly correlating with the condition index, indicating a complex interplay between pollution and biological cycles. Essential metals (Zinc (Zn), and Copper (Cu)) accumulated more than non-essential ones (Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd), and Vanadium (V)), with distinct seasonal peaks (e.g., Zn peaked at 260.73 mg/kg dw in summer), underscoring the need for continued monitoring to manage localized contamination sources.

These issues are due to population growth, urbanization, over-extraction, depleting water table, deteriorating water quality, lack of regulation and monitoring, climate change impact, and deficiency of groundwater sources. Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) is widely acknowledged as a crucial component of the groundwater sources and the hydrological water cycle, and it is a key source of dissolved chemicals entering marine ecosystems, particularly in semi-arid regions. This research methodically reviews 54 scholarly published articles on SGD in India’s shorelines, covering various aspects over the last 24 years (from 2001 to 2024). Recently, the scientific community in India has focused on SGD studies exploring various topics such as identification, quantification, and pollution (nutrients, heavy metals, and microplastics) based research. This review aims to provide the first approach to exploring detailed information about the recent development of SGD studies in India, including i) basic characteristics and demand of groundwater sources related to SGD in land and marine environments ii) studies conducted about the identification of SGD iii) studies carried on the quantification of SGD on shorelines and estuaries with adopted methodologies for assessing SGD iv) recent advances of SGD on marine and aquatic ecosystem degradation v) summarizing the additional knowledge about important SGD knowledge shortcomings along with research requirements on particular India’s shoreline and estuaries. According to the SGD literature, approximately 48 % (around 3600 km) of India’s total coastal line of 7516.6 km has been studied, with a primary focus on Gujarat, West Bengal, and some parts of other coastal states.
