The influence of pearl oyster farming on reef fish abundance and diversity in Ahe, French Polynesia.

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.

Crop yield must increase to achieve food security in the face of a growing population and environmental deterioration. Grain size is a prime breeding target for improving grain yield and quality in crop. Here, we report that autophagy emerges as an important regulatory pathway contributing to grain size and quality in rice. Read More

Zhi Zhu Wenjing Shen Dongyi Li Jian Ye Xianghai Song Xu Tang Jun Zhao Pengwei Huo

Inorg Chem 2023 Sep 8;62(38):15432-15439. Epub 2023 Sep 8.

Institute of the Green Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Institute for Advanced Materials, Jiangsu University, Zhenjiang 212000, P.R. China.

Utilizing artificial photosynthesis for the conversion of CO into value-added fuels has been recognized as a promising strategy for the ever-increasing energy crisis and the greenhouse effect. Herein, the element doping engineering of red spherical g-CN having oxygen bonded with compositional carbon (C-O-C) for CO photoreduction has been explored to address this challenge. The C-O bond was formed by hydrothermal treatment with dicyandiamide and 1,3,5-trichlorotriazine. Read More

Autophagy is a conservative and important process that exists in all eukaryotic cells in nature. Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3), also known as KHV (Koi Herpesvirus), is a pathogen that mainly infecting common carp and koi. In the present study, we identified the CcLC3B gene, with a length of 379 bp and displaying a close evolutionary relationship with other sixteen different species, the tissue distribution and expression pattern of CcLC3 were also identified.

Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Shandong Province Key Laboratory of Experimental Marine Biology, Institute of Oceanology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Qingdao, 266071, China.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a group of RNAs that regulate gene expression in the post-transcriptionally. miRNAs can regulate numerous processes, such as the immune response, due to their dynamic expression patterns. The giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii is a major freshwater aquaculture prawn that is attacked by various bacteria, including Aeromonas hydrophila. Read More
