Monolaurin in feed boosts growth and gut health in juvenile largemouth bass
Dietary monolaurin is earning its place in aquafeed, and the data from juvenile largemouth bass makes a compelling case. Across 56 days, fish fed 800 to 1100 mg/kg showed higher final body weights, with 800 mg/kg delivering the best growth rates. Beyond size, the additive lowered whole-body lipid content while boosting crude protein, and it sharpened antioxidant defenses by raising catalase and superoxide dismutase activities. Gut health followed suit, as pathogenic *Aeromonas* declined while beneficial *Cetobacterium* flourished.
Mapping marine phosphorus cycling with a global alkaline phosphatase dataset
A new global dataset of alkaline phosphatase activity now maps marine phosphorus cycling with empirical, peer-reviewed precision. Understanding this nutrient's biological availability is essential for predicting ocean productivity and climate indicators. This integrated data ecosystem complements related work such as NOAA's Global Drifter Network, which delivers real-time ocean intelligence to sharpen forecasts. Together, these efforts build a measurable foundation for shared ocean stewardship, from orbit to ocean floor.
Legacy PCB Pollution Linked to Bottlenose Dolphin Reproduction and Health Risks
Decades after their ban, PCBs continue to shape the health of bottlenose dolphins, particularly near a contaminated site in Brunswick, Georgia. Our synthesis of six populations reveals that while concentrations are slowly declining, dolphins near the LCP Chemicals Site carry levels four times higher than elsewhere, with a median reproductive age nearly a decade later. The link to suppressed thyroid hormones and key health indicators points to a clear physiological pathway. It is a measured, sobering finding on legacy pollution's enduring grip.
