Contemporary Methods for Capturing Juvenile Salmonids in the Marine Environment
ABSTRACT Anadromous salmonids play vital roles in marine and freshwater ecosystems. The most abundant of these fishes—Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.)—are integral to coastal ecosystems and communities across the North Pacific Rim, but numerous populations are experiencing dramatic declines, particularly towards the south of their range.

ABSTRACT Protists represent a significant portion of eukaryotic diversity with a wide range of ecological roles, lifestyles, and diverse morphological traits. Despite their widespread importance in ecological systems and their potential as model organisms, most protist lineages remain poorly characterized, in part due to their small size and the fact ...

ABSTRACT Sipunculans are unsegmented marine annelids distributed from intertidal to deep sediments, playing important roles in nutrient cycling and ecosystem health. The Sipunculus nudus species complex is exploited as food and bait in several regions, yet reproductive data at the population level remain scarce, especially for Atlantic populations ...

Engineering next‐generation crops through CRISPR‐mediated horizontal gene transfer
Summary Crops increasingly face overlapping stresses such as heat, drought, salinity, and pathogens that conventional breeding or genome editing rarely overcome in combination. To address this, we propose CRISPR‐enabled horizontal gene transfer (CRISPR‐HGT) as a programmable framework that recreates the evolutionary process by which plants historically

Reported environmental impacts of shrimp aquaculture from life cycle assessments (LCAs) vary by over fiftyfold. These discrepancies stem from methodological inconsistencies, which often outweigh actual differences in farming practices. Furthermore, areas of environmental concern including land use change, biodiversity, and toxicity impacts are excluded
