Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

The influence of light on elasmobranch behavior and physiology: a review

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
In this review, we summarize the state of knowledge of the influence of light on the activity and physiology of elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, rays, and sawfish). These are a diverse group with great economic and ecological importance.

Biodegradable 3D‐Printable and Coatable Antifouling Composites for Marine Applications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Marine biofouling damages submerged surfaces and raises greenhouse gas emissions. Biodegradable antifouling biocomposites were developed by hot‐mixing beeswax, Tween 80, and calcium stearate or stearic acid. Adjusting the component ratio enables processing via hot‐pressing, 3D‐printing, or dip‐coating.

First Detection of Photobacterium spp. in Acute Hemorrhagic Septicemia from the Nursehound Shark Scyliorhinus stellaris

Fishes, 2023
The nursehound Scyliorhinus stellaris is a threatened shark species and its population in the Mediterranean Sea is declining. Programs for captive breeding and repopulation in marine protected areas (MPA) are being carried out.

A Pentaradial and Bilateral Combined Photoreception System in the Sea Cucumber is Mediated by a Blue Light‐Sensitive R‐Opsin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota detects blue and adjacent wavelengths of light via an r‐opsin with a maximum absorption at 459 nm. In the oral tentacles, papillae, and tube feet, distinct light‐sensing structures with specialized morphologies are formed, constituting a unique pentaradial and bilateral combined photoreception system.

Stereo videography reveals fragility in a high value thresher shark population

Frontiers in Marine Science
Population risk assessments are important tools for understanding the sustainability of shark populations and informing their conservation. In the Philippines, policy makers have made inroads to progress legislative protection for sharks in recent years,

Huntingtin Aggregate‐Responsive Autophagy Gene Circuit Mitigates Disease Pathology in R6/2 Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CD98‐mediated receptor‐mediated transcytosis enables LIP‐CD98 nanocarriers to cross the blood–brain barrier and deliver ARAA to neurons. mHTT aggregates activate the 11G–NarX sensor, initiating Auto‐P and Trans‐P signaling through the VP48–NarL relay.

Biogeophysical and physiological processes drive movement patterns in a marine predator

Movement Ecology, 2017
Background Blue sharks (Prionace glauca) are among the most abundant and widely distributed of oceanic elasmobranchs. Millions are taken annually in pelagic longline fisheries and comprise the highest component of auctioned fin weight in the ...

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the copper shark Carcharhinus brachyurus (Günther, 1870)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
Copper shark (Carcharhinus brachyurus Günther, 1870) is one of the most widely distributed but least known species in the family Carcharhinidae. Herein, we report the first complete mitogenome of C. brachyurus.

Heavy Metal Contamination: Impacts From Plants to the Food Chain and Eco‐Friendly Amelioration Strategies

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Heavy metal pollution reduces soil health and threatens food safety by entering plants; however, the use of nanoparticles, biofertilizers, and organic fertilizers such as biochar offers a promising strategy for improvement and sustainable agriculture. ABSTRACT Heavy metal (HM) pollution, resulting from human activities such as mining and the excessive ...
