Rethinking fish biology and biotechnologies in the challenge era for burgeoning genome resources and strengthening food security

Jian‐Fang Gui, Li Zhou, Xi‐Yin Li · 22 Nov 2021

Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on morphology, phylogenetics, development, growth, reproduction manipulation, and disease control. Recent studies have mostly focused on genetics, molecular biology, genomics, and genome biotechnologies, which have provided a solid foundation for…

Plastic occurrence, sources, and impacts in Antarctic environment and biota

Gabriella Caruso, Elisa Bergami, Neelu Singh et al. · 19 Mar 2022

Several studies have documented that plastic pollution is affecting one of the most remote and pristine regions of our planet, Antarctica. Plastics of different size and polymeric composition have been retrieved in Antarctic sea ice, surface waters and sediments, with microplastics (mostly fibers) found both in terrestrial and marine organisms. Such evidence raises concerns about…

Assemblage-based biomonitoring of freshwater ecosystem health via multimetric indices: A critical review and suggestions for improving their applicability

Robert L. Vadas, Robert M. Hughes, Yeon Jae Bae et al. · 29 May 2022

Freshwater biota are more comprehensive and direct indicators of biological impacts, and more meaningful to the public than water quality or physical habitat surrogates. Freshwater biotic data and the multiple biological indicators developed from them offer a much richer array of data for assessing the impacts of pollution controls than a limited set of physical…

Methodology for fish biodiversity monitoring with environmental DNA metabarcoding: The primers, databases and bioinformatic pipelines

Fan Xiong, Lu Shu, Honghui Zeng et al. · 19 Jan 2022

Environmental DNA (eDNA) originates from cellular material shed by organisms into aquatic or terrestrial environments and can be sampled and monitored using metabarcoding technology, which is revolutionizing fish biodiversity monitoring. Several reviews concerning fish eDNA have focused on standard sampling methods and its applications, though a systematic review focused on marker genes, databases, and bioinformatic…

Ensuring water purity: Mitigating environmental risks and safeguarding human health

Ovinuchi Ejiohuo, Helen Onyeaka, Adenike A. Akinsemolu et al. · 20 Dec 2024

Water is an indispensable resource for sustaining life, ecosystems, and economic productivity. However, increasing contamination and pollution pose severe threats to global water purity, with significant risks to human health, biodiversity, and ecosystem stability. This study examines the diverse dimensions of water purity, including its impacts on ecosystems and human health, sources of pollution, global…

Water Biology and Security template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Water Biology and Security format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Water Biology and Security template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Water Biology and Security use?
Water Biology and Security uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C.
