Polychaetes Aquaculture: Global Successes and Opportunities for Development in Latin America
A systematic review, conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, synthesises global advances in polychaetes aquaculture and evaluates their implications for sustainable development in Latin America. Evidence from leading producer countries shows that there are many different applications in areas such as aquafeed and bioremediators (IMTA ...

Impacts of in vivo and in vitro exposures to tamoxifen: comparative effects on human cells and marine organisms [PDF]
Tamoxifen (TAM) is a first generation-SERM administered for hormone receptor-positive (HER+) breast cancer in both pre- and post-menopausal patients and may undergo metabolic activation in organisms that share similar receptors and thus face comparable ...

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Molecular biomarkers and toxic consequences of impact by organic pollution in aquatic organisms [PDF]
Organic contaminants are readily bioaccumulated by aquatic organisms. Exposure to and toxic effects of contaminants can be measured in terms of the biochemical responses of the organisms (i.e. molecular biomarkers).

ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Prioritising research on endocrine disruption in the marine environment: a global perspective
ABSTRACT A healthy ocean is a crucial life support system that regulates the global climate, is a source of oxygen and supports major economic activities. A vast and understudied biodiversity from micro‐ to macro‐organisms is integral to ocean health.

Prevalence and Implications of “Must‐Kill” Angling Regulations for the Management of Invasive Fishes
ABSTRACT Freshwater biodiversity is increasingly threatened by invasive species, which can disrupt native fish populations and the fisheries they support. Must‐kill regulations, which prohibit the live release of invasive fish caught by recreational anglers, are a management strategy that can be implemented to limit the negative effects of invasive ...
