Many cultured pearl farms are located in areas of the Pacific that have thriving, highly diverse fish communities but the impacts of farming on these communities are poorly understood. We studied the effects of pearl oyster farming on shore fish abundance and diversity in the lagoon of Ahe, French Polynesia by adapting roving diver census methods to the coral reef bommies of the lagoon and compared 16 sites with high pearl farming impact to others with no direct impact. Pearl farming has a slightly positive effect on reef fish abundance (N) and no significant impact on fish diversity (H) or community composition. This is important when considering the ecological sustainability of pearl farming in French Polynesia and suggests that a potential synergy between pearl farms and marine conservation should be further explored.

Gene identification and functional analysis of a D-type cyclin (CCND2) in freshwater pearl mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii).

Authors:
ShangLe Feng He Wang XueNan Li WenJuan Li ZhiYi Bai

Mol Biol Rep 2022 May 26. Epub 2022 May 26.

Key Laboratory of Freshwater Aquatic Genetic Resources, Ministry of Agriculture, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai, 201306, China.

Background: Cyclin D (CCND) plays an important role in the cell cycle and is a rate-limiting factor that facilitates the G1/S transition.

Methods: In this study, the full-length cDNA of Hc-CCND2 was isolated from freshwater pearl mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii; Hc) and amplified using the 3´/5´ RACE system. The Hc-CCND2 expression profiles were analysed by quantitative real-time PCR. Read More

Investigating the role of different maize (Zea mays L.) cultivars by studying morpho-physiological attributes in chromium-stressed environment.

Authors:
Amara Hassan Abida Parveen Saddam Hussain Iqbal Hussain Rizwan Rasheed

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int 2022 May 26. Epub 2022 May 26.

Department of Botany, Government College University, Allama Iqbal Road, Faisalabad, 38000, Pakistan.

Because of global land surface warming, heavy metal toxicity is expected to occur more often and more intensely, affecting the growth and development of the major cereal crops such as maize (Zea mays L.) in several ways, thus affecting the production component of food security. Hence, it is important to know the best cultivars of Z. Read More

Bacterioplankton community indicators for seasonal variation in a fragmented subtropical river.

Authors:
Biao Zhao Peng Song Wanling Yang Yongzhan Mai Haiyan Li Qianfu Liu Yanyi Zeng Yuan Gao Wanlin Du Chao Wang

Environ Monit Assess 2022 May 26;194(7):458. Epub 2022 May 26.

Pearl River Fisheries Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, Guangzhou, 510380, China.

In this study, spatiotemporal investigations were conducted along five cascade dams in the main channel of the North River of China during 2019 to explore bacterioplankton community indicators of water environments in a fragmented, highly regulated river. Bacterioplankton communities were good bioindicators of temporal variation in river environments, especially when considering the bacterial class level. Specifically, the most dominant bacterial classes (Gammaproteobacteria, Oxyphotobacteria, and Actinobacteria) and sub-dominant bacterial classes (Bacteroidia, Betaproteobacteria, and Acidimicrobiia) exhibited obvious temporal variation.

Yuanfa He Jinfang Liang Xiaohui Dong Hongyu Liu Qihui Yang Shuang Zhang Shuyan Chi Beiping Tan

Anim Nutr 2022 Jun 8;9:193-203. Epub 2021 Dec 8.

Laboratory of Aquatic Animal Nutrition and Feed, Fisheries College, Guangdong Ocean University, Zhanjiang 524088, China.

The utilization efficiency of soy protein is affected by its 2 anti-nutritional substances-the antigens β-conglycinin and glycinin. This study investigated their effects on the growth performance, intestinal immune defense, and microbiome in juvenile pearl gentian groupers (♀ × ♂). Three isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated containing fishmeal supplemented with 70 g/kg β-conglycinin or 100 g/kg glycinin, or no supplementation (control). Read More

Climate change has led to rediscovery of minor drought tolerant grains such as millet. Among its bioactive molecules, steryl ferulates have been poorly explored. Steryl ferulates composition of was investigated by high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector-tandem mass spectrometry and high resolution tandem mass spectrometry in twenty-two millet samples and also in some fermented and microwave heated samples.
