Due to the potential for horizontal gene transfer, AMR in aquaculture might eventually spread to clinically important strains found in the environment, thereby affecting human health and the whole ecosystem. It is essential to comprehend the mechanisms driving AMR in aquaculture, including plasmids, integrons, and gene cassettes, to develop AMR risk management strategies. This review article presents an in-depth analysis of AMR in aquaculture and potential risks it presents to public health and the environment. The review provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of AMR by delving into the molecular and genetic factors that contribute to its spread. It also highlights the antibiotic usage pattern in different countries. The article also elaborates on alternative strategies that can be adopted to prevent and control fish diseases without negatively impacting the environment. This understanding may aid in the development of plans aimed at halting the spread of AMR and safeguarding public health. The various alternative approaches discussed in the review can offer potential solutions for controlling fish diseases in a manner that is both effective and environmentally safe for ecosystems and public health.","PeriodicalId":23978,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49282707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a previous study, the characterization of a novel thermo-tolerant freshwater microalga, Scenedesmus sp. ME02 with high phenolic content, particularly rich in flavonoids was done. Here, two different approaches are reported to increase the efficiency of the growth parameters of this strain. Firstly, the effects of phosphorus (P) depletion on biomass and lipid characteristics of Scenedesmus sp. ME02 were investigated. Although, P depletion resulted in a slight reduction in biomass productivity of microalgae and had a minimal effect on the lipid content and productivity; fatty acid methyl ester profile changed substantially. Particularly, percent oleic acid (18:1) increased by more than two-fold, whereas percent linolelaidic acid (C18:2n6t) and linolenic acid (C18:3n6) decreased significantly when cells were switched from P-replete (control) to P-deplete conditions. Overall, the polyunsaturated fatty acid content was significantly reduced. Secondly, stable genetic transformation conditions for Scenedesmus sp. ME02 via electroporation were optimized using two different transformation vectors. GFP gene expression was detected in colonies transformed with both vectors by RT-PCR. GFP protein expression was detected in the transgenic lines one year after initial transformation by confocal microscopy.","PeriodicalId":23978,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46855581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the end of both enrichments, DHA and EPA levels were found to be significantly enhanced by using AUR at 0.6 and 0.8g/L. In the 2nd experiment, fatty acid composition of the PL was significantly affected by AUR and the PL fed with enriched diets showed higher n-3 LC-PUFA accumulation in their tissues. The larvae grown from M1 to PL7 displayed higher survivals and growth in the enriched AUR-groups compared to the control(0.0AUR).

With augmenting F-T-C, the CHMS meat underwent deterioration to higher extent as indicated by upsurges in exudate loss, tougher texture along with increased microbial counts. The addition of EGCG could retard those changes in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, EGCG prevented microbial growth as ascertained by lower counts and total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB) content. Lipid oxidation was also impeded in the presence of EGCG, especially at a high concentration as evidenced by lowered malondialdehyde (MDA), while maintaining polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA when F-T-C raised. Total disulfide bond content and surface hydrophobicity of CHMS added with EGCG were lower than those of the control. Those alterations were more retarded as EGCG concentration increased. Therefore EGCG at 400 ppm effectively prevented quality loss of CHMS meat during repeated F-T process.","PeriodicalId":23978,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences","volume":"127 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70423794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mugilids are of great commercial interest for artisanal fisheries due to their wide distribution and diverse uses; in Mexico, this resource stands out because it ranks fourth in the specific composition of catches and has shown a growing trend in yields in recent years (2008-2020). Therefore, an evaluation of the stock and behavior of the fisheries were undertaken in support of resource sustainability. We suggest that an active regulation measure be taken along with already existing passive measures. The exploitable biomass was estimated at 12,040 t, BMSY=11,424 t, and MSY=2,900 t. The resource is in decline with a tendency to overexploitation, and it could collapse if no action is taken.
