High Levels of Straying in Returning, Repeat‐Spawning Atlantic Salmon Between Two Neighbouring Danish Rivers

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We studied the seaward and return migration of Atlantic salmon kelts from both wild and hatchery origin in River Skjern, Denmark. Of the 199 tagged animals, 110 reached the ocean (55%). Only 10 kelts were recorded returning after spending more than 1 year at sea.

Ulva lactuca Extract in Confectionery Systems: A Sustainable Approach to Natural Pigmentation, Antioxidant Enrichment, and Sensory Optimization in Fondant and Meringue Matrices

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study evaluated the functional potential of Ulva lactuca extract as a natural colorant and antioxidant incorporated into sugar‐based (fondant) and aerated (meringue) confectionery matrices. Extract incorporation significantly enriched total phenolic content—achieving up to 150.95 mg GAE/100 g dry matter in meringues—and surged antioxidant ...

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) kelt rheotaxis and position choice are influenced by flow velocity and turbulence in a regulated river

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 6, Page 1889-1905, June 2026.
Abstract The migratory behaviour of Atlantic salmon kelts is poorly understood. Due to the Atlantic salmon's considerable socio‐economic and ecological importance, their precipitous population abundance declines, and the population resilience potential of salmon kelts, addressing these knowledge gaps is important.

Effects of biosecure macroalgae in formulated feeds on the gut bacterial microbiome of abalone Haliotis midae

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Dietary macroalgae are known to contribute directly and indirectly to the gut microflora of abalone. However, certain farms require macroalgae to be made biosecure to eliminate microbiota and reduce their risk of acting as a vector for potential disease before being included as a dietary ingredient in aquafeeds.

Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 10, Page 2885-2907, May 2026.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Comparative Study of Sulfated Polysaccharides From Ulva Lactuca Grown in Tunisia and Morocco: in Vitro Antioxidant Activity and in Vivo Anti‐Inflammatory and Anti‐Ulcer Effects

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Ulva lactuca collected in Tunisia (PSUT) and Morocco (PSUM). FTIR confirmed the presence of sulfate groups, while GC‐MS identified diverse sugar components. Both polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates ...
