Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Studies on control of the giant African snail on Guam

Hilgardia, 1957
The giant African snail, Achathia fulica Bowdich, is endemic to the coastal area of continental East Africa. The species occurs from southern Abyssinia and the southern half of Italian Somaliland, through Kenya and Tanganyika, to northern Portuguese East Africa. The snail’s ancestral homeland also probably includes certain of

The Effects of Microplastics and Additives on Ecosystem Function, Structure, and Signaling

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Microplastics disrupt ecosystem signaling through olfactory traps, altering predator–prey signaling and disrupting microbial communication and quorum sensing. ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and their associated chemical additives are pervasive contaminants whose ecological impacts extend beyond organismal toxicity to fundamentally alter ecosystem ...

Reproductive Ecology of the Giant African Snail in South Florida: Implications for Eradication Programs

PLOS ONE, 2016
Giant African snail (Achatina fulica (Bowdich, 1822)), an important invasive snail, was recently found in South Florida, USA. An extensive eradication effort was initiated consisting of pesticide applications, debris removal and hand collections. We studied the reproduction capacity and population dynamics of snails collected from 22 populations for ...

Long‐term reduction of invasive killer shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus) density following removal of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) shells and coarse substrate on UK lake beds

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Working with Citizen Scientists, researchers tested manual removal of coarse cobbles and zebra mussel shells from fine‐sediment lake beds to reduce invasive killer shrimp densities. Killer shrimp use these features for habitat, and after clearing them from 3 × 3 m sections of lakebed, killer shrimp densities were reduced by over 90% in these sections ...

Probing Cinnamamides and Benzamides as Anthelmintics: Discovery of Potent Drug‐Like Agents Against Angiostrongylus cantonensis

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 108, Issue 1, July 2026.
Cynnamoyl benzylpiperazine was identified as drug‐like derivative of cinnarizine with anthelmintic activity against A. cantonensis. In this work, 15 out of 31 derivatives showed improved anthelmintic activity with increased solubility. A SAR study was carried out to determine the molecular features involved in such effect.

Extraction and characterization of endogenous cellulases in Achatina fulica for lignocellulose digestion

Fundamental and Applied Agriculture, 2020
The giant African land snail, Achatina fulica (Gastropoda: Pulmonata) acts as a prolific pest of over 500 crop species. Its major digestive enzymes responsible for digestion and assimilation of lignocellulose are not well studied.
