TLDR
An effort to record the aquaculture-environment and -human safety interactions with regard to the Mediterranean mariculture, is attempted heretofore focused on this geographical area due to its individualities in both the hydrological and physicochemical characteristics and the forms of aquac Culture.

Management Options for Reducing the Release of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes to the Environment

TL;DR: Environmental releases of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria can in many cases be reduced at little or no cost and the anticipated benefit is an extended useful life span for current and future antibiotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sources, impacts and trends of pharmaceuticals in the marine and coastal environment

TL;DR: The sources, impacts and concentrations of pharmaceuticals in marine and coastal environments are reviewed to identify knowledge gaps and focused case studies are suggested as a priority for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aquaculture as yet another environmental gateway to the development and globalisation of antimicrobial resistance.

TL;DR: Efforts to prevent antimicrobial overuse in aquaculture must include education of all stakeholders about its detrimental effects on the health of fish, human beings, and the aquatic ecosystem (the notion of One Health), and encouragement of environmentally friendly measures of disease prevention, including vaccines, probiotics, and bacteriophages.

Chemical contaminants entering the marine environment from sea-based sources: A review with a focus on European seas

TL;DR: This paper reviews the literature, with a predominant focus on the European environment, to compile a list of contaminants potentially released into the sea from sea-based sources and provide an overview of their consideration under existing EU regulatory frameworks.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibiotics in typical marine aquaculture farms surrounding Hailing Island, South China: Occurrence, bioaccumulation and human dietary exposure

TL;DR: Erythromycin-H2O was the dominant antibiotic in the adult Fenneropenaeus penicillatus and trimethoprim was found to be bioaccumulative in young Lutjanus russelli, and presented a potential risk to human safety.

Occurrence, fate and effects of pharmaceutical substances in the environment- A review

TL;DR: Present knowledge does not reveal if regular therapeutic use may be the source of a substance carried by sewage effluent into the aquatic system, even though clofibrate, a lipid lowering agent, has been identified in ground and tap water samples from Berlin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heavy use of prophylactic antibiotics in aquaculture: a growing problem for human and animal health and for the environment

TL;DR: Global efforts are needed to promote more judicious use of prophylactic antibiotics in aquaculture as accumulating evidence indicates that unrestricted use is detrimental to fish, terrestrial animals, and human health and the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feeding aquaculture in an era of finite resources

TL;DR: This article reviewed trends in fishmeal and fish oil use in industrial aquafeeds, showing reduced inclusion rates but greater total use associated with increased aquaculture production and demand for fish high in long-chain omega-3 oils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers: occurrence, dietary exposure, and toxicology.

TL;DR: Based on the scientific knowledge of today and based on Nordic intake data, the possible consumer health risk from PBDEs appears limited, as a factor of over 10 separates the estimated present mean dietary intake from the suggested LOAEL value.
Journal ArticleDOI

The future of seagrass meadows

TL;DR: In this article, a review summarizes the threats and trends of seagrass loss and considers likely changes to the 2025 time horizon, concluding that present losses are expected to accelerate, particularly in South-east Asia and the Caribbean, as human pressure on the coastal zone grows.
