TL;DR: The use of plant or herbal extracts is expected to be safe for aquatic animals and less harmful to the environment, as opposed to conventional therapeutic alternatives such as antibiotics that promote the occurrence of potential antibiotic-resistant bacteria when used improperly as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors identified 4,560 Operational Taxonomic Units (vOTUs) from six viromes of three saline lakes on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with less than 1% that could be classified.

TL;DR: This review paper focuses on major tissue histopathology changes in response to mercury toxicity and their potential use as a mercury contamination indicator in fish.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors described a novel Alteromonas phage, ZP6, that was isolated from surface coastal waters of Qingdao, China. And they found three auxiliary metabolic genes, encoding metal-dependent phosphohydrolase, diaminopurine synthetase, and nucleotide pyrophosphohydrolases, enabling the host cells to stop programmed cell death and improve the survival rate of the host in a nutrient-depleted environment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Nordic Sea DNA virome (NSV) data set of 55,315 viral contigs including 1,478 unique viral populations from seven stations influenced by both the warm Atlantic and cold Arctic water masses.
