Island Invader: Rugulopteryx okamurae and the Challenge for Macaronesian Coasts

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Since 2015, Rugulopteryx okamurae, a brown seaweed native to the Northwest Pacific, has become one of the most conspicuous marine invaders in the European continental coastal waters. Its recent establishment in the Macaronesian archipelagos (the Azores, Madeira and Canary Islands) has produced significant ecological changes, including ...

Functional Analysis on Shelk2 of Pacific Oyster [PDF]

, 2018
Shelk2, a novel shell matrix protein from the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is reported to be involved in shell biosynthesis of the prismatic layer. Results of RNAi experiment on shelk2 showed that Shelk2 has a key role in shell regeneration. When dsRNA of shelk2 was injected into the adductor muscle of Pacific oyster, the prismatic layer did not ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2837-2854, September 2026.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

Effects of Different Drying Methods on the Meat Quality and Characteristic Flavor Compounds of Pacific White Shrimp

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2026.
Different drying strategies regulated meat quality and characteristic flavor formation in Litopenaeus vannamei through distinct thermal and dehydration effects. HAFD enhanced non‐volatile umami compounds by promoting free amino acids, GMP, and EUC accumulation, whereas HAD and AFD intensified roasted‐aroma formation through pyrazines, aldehydes, esters,

Wild populations of Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) emerge during the blob heatwave in south Puget Sound, Washington USA

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine heatwaves have altered ecosystems globally, including changing community composition and facilitating the spread of invasive species. In south Puget Sound, Washington (USA), non-native Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) have been farmed extensively

Field tests of trophic interactions between non-native European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) and non-native clams along an estuarine gradient [PDF]

Aquatic Invasions
Estuaries are highly invaded ecosystems exhibiting many novel species interactions. This project addressed how predation from native and non-native crabs influences density of non-native clams along an estuarine gradient in Willapa Bay (Washington, USA).

Acute heat tolerance (CTmax) of two invasive parasitic copepods differs across species, life cycle stages and acclimation temperatures

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2793-2803, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of heatwaves with potential consequences for host–parasite dynamics. While the acute heat tolerance of free‐living organisms has been intensively studied, much less is known about it for parasites and their life ...

Competitiveness in American Seafood Requires Climate‐Resilient Fisheries

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 1234-1241, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent federal executive actions prioritize restoring American seafood competitiveness through deregulation and production targets, yet these policies overlook the fundamental threat posed by climate‐driven natural hazards. We argue that true seafood competitiveness cannot be achieved through production gains alone because competitiveness also

Freshwater Haplosporidian Diversity Associated With Invasive Non‐Native Bivalves in the River Thames, Including Haplosporidium raabei Infecting Dreissena polymorpha

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Haplosporidians are protistan parasites of aquatic invertebrates. Described here is the first report of the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) parasite Haplosporidium raabei in the River Thames, London, UK. The prevalence of this protist in the upper tidal Thames, Richmond, was higher than previously reported in other studies from the UK and ...
