Abstract
Since 2007, green tides have occurred almost every year in the Yellow Sea, and a method to prevent them and to control levels of attached Ulva prolifera is urgently needed. In this study, we measured the effects of different concentrations of citric acid-activated chlorine dioxide solution (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 mg/L of chlorine dioxide) on the morphology (macrostructure and microstructure), chlorophyll a content, chlorophyll b content, carotenoid content, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (Fv/Fm, Y (II), NPQ, and ETRmax) of U. prolifera. Micropropagules in the treatment filtrate were cultured to determine whether the solution reduced the number of micropropagules released during the treatment process. The results showed that citric acid-activated chlorine dioxide at the appropriate concentration can be applied to remove U. prolifera from Neopyropia cultivation rafts. Because U. prolifera and its micropropagules died in the 250 mg/L chlorine dioxide group, we recommend that the appropriate concentration of chlorine dioxide for removing green macroalgae is ≥250 mg/L. Our results provide a scientific basis for convenient collection of accurate data for the U. prolifera prevention trial organized by the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China.

[PMID: 36863433 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.121350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 02/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Green tides, a worldwide problem, are harmful to aquaculture, tourism, marine ecosystems, and maritime traffic. Currently, green tide detection relies on remote sensing (RS) images, which are often missing or unusable. Thus, the observation and detection of green tides cannot be performed daily, which makes it difficult to improve environmental quality and ecological health. To address this problem, this study proposed a novel green tide estimation framework (GTEF) through convolutional long short-term memory, which learned the historical spatial-temporal seasonal and trend patterns of green tides from 2008 to 2021 and fused the previously observed or estimated data and biological (optional) and physical (optional) data over the preceding seven days when RS images were absent or unusable for daily observation and detection tasks. The results showed that the overall accuracy (OA), false-alarm rating (FAR), and missing-alarm rating (MAR) of the GTEF were 0.9592 ± 0.0375, 0.0885 ± 0.1877 and 0.4315 ± 0.2848, respectively. The estimated results described the green tides in terms of attributes, geometry and position features. Especially in the latitudinal features, the Pearson correlation coefficient of the predicted data and observed data were over 0.8 (P < 0.05), which showed a strong correlation. In addition, this study also discussed the role of biological and physical factors in the GTEF. Sea surface salinity may be the dominant factor in the early stages of green tides; in the late stage, solar irradiance may be the dominant factor. Sea surface winds and sea surface currents also played a significant role in green tide estimation. Results showed the OA, FAR and MAR of the GTEF which, with physical factors but without biological factors, were 0.9556 ± 0.0389, 0.1311 ± 0.3338 and 0.4297 ± 0.3180, respectively. In short, the proposed approach could generate a daily map of green tides, even if RS images were missing or unusable.

Abstract
Thraustochytrids are unicellular marine heterotrophic protists, which have recently shown a promising ability to produce omega-3 fatty acids from lignocellulosic hydrolysates and wastewaters. Here we studied the biorefinery potential of the dilute acid-pretreated marine macroalgae (Enteromorpha) in comparison with glucose via fermentation using a previously isolated thraustochytrid strain (Aurantiochytrium limacinum PKU#Mn4). The total reducing sugars in the Enteromorpha hydrolysate accounted for 43.93% of the dry cell weight (DCW). The strain was capable of producing the highest DCW (4.32 ± 0.09 g/L) and total fatty acids (TFA) content (0.65 ± 0.03 g/L) in the medium containing 100 g/L of hydrolysate. The maximum TFA yields of 0.164 ± 0.160 g/g DCW and 0.196 ± 0.010 g/g DCW were achieved at 80 g/L of hydrolysate and 40 g/L of glucose in the fermentation medium, respectively. Compositional analysis of TFA revealed the production of equivalent fractions (% TFA) of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in hydrolysate or glucose medium. Furthermore, the strain yielded a much higher fraction (2.61-3.22%) of eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3) in the hydrolysate medium than that (0.25-0.49%) in the glucose medium. Overall, our findings suggest that Enteromorpha hydrolysate can be a potential natural substrate in the fermentative production of high-value fatty acids by thraustochytrids.

Abstract
With the rapid development of poultry industry and the highly intensive production management, there are an increasing number of stress factors in poultry production. Excessive stress will affect their growth and development, immune function, and induce immunosuppression, susceptibility to a variety of diseases, and even death. In recent years, increasing interest has focused on natural components extracted from plants, among which plant polysaccharides have been highlighted because of their various biological activities. Plant polysaccharides are natural immunomodulators that can promote the growth of immune organs, activate immune cells and the complement system, and release cytokines. As a green feed additive, plant polysaccharides can not only relieve stress and enhance the immunity and disease resistance of poultry, but also regulate the balance of intestinal microorganisms and effectively alleviate all kinds of stress faced by poultry. This paper reviews the immunomodulatory effects and molecular mechanisms of different plant polysaccharides (Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz polysaccharide, Astragalus polysaccharides, Taishan Pinus massoniana pollen polysaccharide, and alfalfa polysaccharide) in poultry. Current research results reveal that plant polysaccharides have potential uses as therapeutic agents for poultry immune abnormalities and related diseases.
