Post‐hatching development of the remote‐tactile bill‐tip organ in precocial shorebirds (Scolopacidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Juvenile scolopacid shorebirds possess well‐developed osteological correlates of tactile bill‐tip organs, indicating sensory systems for remote‐touch foraging are present from early life. Ontogenetic changes in bill‐tip morphology suggest ecological specialisation and interspecific variation develop later, after fledging in these highly precocial ...

Quality of Blue swimming crab Portunus pelagicus Larvae from Domesticated Broodstock

open access: yesAquacultura Indonesiana, 2015
Blue swimming crab (Portunus pelagicus) is the important world fishery resource, but the crab larval rearing faces high mortality problem. The aim of the research was to compare survival and growth rate of larvae resulted from wild and domesticated broodstock blue swimming crab. Domesticated and wild broodstock were used to produce larvae. Domesticated

A Review of Rice–Fish Farming in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam: Practices, Challenges and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice and fish are staple foods essential for food security, supplying carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids and fatty acids vital to human nutrition. In Vietnam, they also underpin local and national economies. Rice is predominantly cultivated in irrigated systems under diverse ecological and hydrological conditions, particularly in flood‐prone

Assessment of Microplastic Ingestion in Commercial Marine Fish From Cities of Sibu and Kuching, Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia

open access: yesEnvironmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution is an ever‐growing issue in the marine ecosystem around the world. However, the study on MP pollution in marine fish remains limited, particularly those conducted in Eastern Sarawak, Malaysia. Hence, this study investigated the occurrence of MP on the marine fish, collected from local fish market in the city of Sibu
