Impacts of seasonal temperatures, ocean warming and marine heatwaves on the nutritional quality of eastern school prawns (Metapenaeus macleayi)

Nutritional quality of eastern school whiting (Sillago flindersi) under contemporary and future environmental conditions

“…The ash portion is representative of the total mineral content (Lemasson et al, 2019) and could indicate a potential relationship between ocean warming and seafood micronutrients. Analysis of this mineral portion in other harvested species observed increases in bioaccumulation of heavy metals in response to ocean warming (Coleman et al, 2019; Shalders, Champion, Coleman, et al, 2023; Tate et al, 2017). Future inclusion of elemental analysis will determine if changes in ash composition are being driven by beneficial micronutrients or heavy metals and if they are important for human consumers.…”

“…For example, a decrease in omega‐3 fatty acid was observed in marine fish species Zebrasoma scopas following exposure to marine heatwave conditions (Oliveira et al, 2023). Warmer ocean temperatures can also reduce the quality of seafood for human consumption through an increase in toxic metal content (Coleman et al, 2019; Shalders, Champion, Coleman, et al, 2023; Tate et al, 2017), which has consequences for consumer health and is associated with guidelines for management (e.g. FAO & FAOLEX, 2003).…”

Continuous Warming Drives the Colonization Dynamics of Periphytic Protozoan Fauna in Marine Environments

“…In recent years, the global warming, especially its impact on marine ecosystems, has become a focal point of concern for scientists all over the world (Walther et al, 2002;Wernberg et al, 2011;Yin et al, 2023). It has been increasingly recognized that the global climate change is having a signi cant adverse effect on coastal ecosystems (Vaughan, 2019;Shalders et al, 2023). Previous investigations have demonstrated that rising temperatures have signi cant impact on a variety of marine groups, including crustaceans, bivalves, gastropods and teleosts (Tate et al, 2017;Anacleto et al, 2014;Lemasson et al, 2019;Champion et al, 2022).…”
