🌐🧪🦤 Defra-funded necropsies of 175 common dolphins stranded in Cornwall, England (2018–2024) showed 39% of deaths due to bycatch, highlighting the continued impact of fisheries-related mortality for this species in the UK. #FeatureArticle bit.ly/dao03937
Stranded dead common dolphin lying on a sandy beach, entangled in a monofilament fishing net, which covers the entire body of the dolphin with netting particularly wrapped around the beak and the tailstock.

🌐🧪🦤 McCormick et al. examined associations between Anisakis simplex and Red Vent Syndrome in salmon (Salmo_salar), revealing patterns in anisakid distribution and intensity, and pathological responses in affected and unaffected fish. bit.ly/dao03920
Ventral surface of an Atlantic salmon. The vent is red and swollen, displaying typical symptoms of red vent syndrome.

🌐🧪🦤 Genov & Paller's dolphin entanglement case-study, via field observations and post-mortem investigations, suggests that a chronic entanglement could have resolved itself, and provides useful insights into appropriate interventions. bit.ly/dao03890
Photograph of an immature bottlenose dolphin carcass lying on a flagstone jetty, with a small but busy harbour in the background. The dolphin has old rope fragments embedded in its dorsal fin, and a section of newer net, in which it entangled and drowned, draped over its head, blowhole and right pectoral fin.

🌐🧪🦤 Juvenile Green Turtles (#Chelonia_mydas) in Babitonga Bay, Brazil show variable fibropapillomatosis progression and regression. This study underscores the need for long-term health monitoring in Marine Turtle conservation. bit.ly/dao03886
A group of researchers examine a juvenile green turtle with fibropapillomatosis, under cover of a sunshade. In the background, several other people stand on the seashore.

🌐🧪🦤 First confirmed detection of Haplosporidium pinnae in Pinna nobilis from the Sea Of Marmara. Once considered a refuge, this region now faces growing pathogen threats, underscoring the urgent need for monitoring and conservation action. bit.ly/dao03912
A live fan mussel Pinna nobilis standing upright on the seafloor in its natural habitat. The image highlights the ecological presence of this endangered bivalve species, which is threatened by spreading pathogens across the Mediterranean region.

🌐🧪🦤 Nguyen et al. describe #Dermisichthinium_pseudosporum, a novel #Cyst-forming #Parasitic #Dinoflagellate from a distinct lineage, infecting #FreshwaterFish in WI, USA. This highlights the need for accurate #Diagnostics in #FishHealth. bit.ly/dao_164_67

Analysis of wild juvenile #Salmon #Monitoring data both during and after removal of intense finfish #Aquaculture operations in #BritishColumbia #Canada, shows no change to #SeaLice #Infestation #Prevalence or #Intensity between 2016 and 2024. bit.ly/dao_163_107

🌐🧪🦤 The #Neurotoxin #DomoicAcid (#DA), produced by #HarmfulAlgalBlooms, accumulates in #SeaStar digestive tissue. Experimental exposure to a DA analog had immediate effects on sea stars: deflating arms, prolonging righting time, and curling up. bit.ly/dao_163_95
Asterias sea-stars curling into balls after injection with the domoic acid analogue kainic acid.

🌐🧪🦤 Retrospective analysis of #Erysipelothrix_rhusiopathiae in #Cook Inlet, #Alaska found infections in 28.6% of #Beluga necropsied during 2006–2023, but only rare detection in other species or the environment. Several lineages were sequenced. bit.ly/dao_163_1

🌐🧪 High adult #PacificOyster #Mortality associated with #Vibrio_aestuarianus reduced the effectiveness of #SelectiveBreeding for resistance against the #OsHV-1 #Microvariant in #Aquaculture in #RíaDeArousa (#Galicia, #Spain). bit.ly/dao_161_55

🌐🧪🦪 Parasites such as #Bonamia_exitiosa are capable of devastating #Oyster populations and identifying #Carriers can help minimize the spread of #Disease. Could the widely distributed #PacificOyster have aided in the #Dispersal of Bonamia? bit.ly/dao_161_39
