ABSTRACT

Seaweed has garnered increasing interest due to its capacity to mitigate climate change by curbing carbon emissions from agriculture, as well as its potential to serve as a supplement or alternative for dietary, livestock feed, or fuel source production. Moreover, seaweed is regarded as one of the earliest plant forms to have evolved on Earth. Owing to the extensive body of literature available and the uncertainty surrounding the future trajectory of seaweed research under evolving climate conditions, this review scrutinizes the structure, dynamics, and progression of the literature pertaining to seaweed and climate change. This analysis is grounded in the Web of Science Core Collection database, augmented by CiteSpace software. Furthermore, we discuss the productivity and influence of individual researchers, research organizations, countries, and scientific journals. To date, there have been 8047 articles published globally (after a series of filters and exclusions), with a notable upswing in publication frequency since 2018. The USA, China, and Australia are among the leading countries contributing to this research area. Our findings reveal that current research on seaweed and climate change encompasses 13 distinct research clusters, including "marine heatwave", "temperate estuary", "ocean acidification", and "macroalgal bloom". The most frequently cited keywords are "climate change", "biomass", "community", and "photosynthesis". The seaweed species most commonly referenced in relation to climate change include Gracilaria sp., Sargassum sp., Ecklonia maxima, and Macrocystis pyrifera. These results provide valuable guidance for shaping the direction of specialized topics concerning marine biodiversity under shifting climate conditions. We propose that seaweed production may be compromised during prolonged episodes of reduced water availability, emphasizing the need to formulate strategies to guarantee its continued viability. This article offers fresh perspectives on the analysis of seaweed research in the context of impending climate change.

ABSTRACT

The objectives of this study were to analyze and compare the effects of mercury (Hg) exposure on osmoregulation and hematological responses in East Java strain tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Fish were exposed to 0, 0.1, and 1 mg L-1 Hg at 0, 5, 10, and 15 g L-1 salinities, and serum osmolality (SO), ion level, hematological parameters, and sodium (Na+)/potassium (K+)-ATPase (NKA) levels in the gills and kidney were assessed after 96 h of exposure. SO significantly increased in fish exposed to Hg at 15 g L-1 salinity compared with those exposed at 0, 5, 10, and 15 g L-1 salinities, but SO did not significantly increase in fish exposed to Hg at 5 and 10 g L-1 salinities compared with those exposed at 0 g L-1 salinity. At 15 g L-1 salinity, the Na+ level was significantly different from that at 0, 5, and 10 g L-1 salinities. The chloride ion level significantly increased only at 15 g L-1 salinity. Furthermore, the K+ level was significantly different at 10 and 15 g L-1 salinities from that at 0 and 5 g L-1 salinities. Hematocrit and hemoglobin levels and red blood cell and white blood cell (WBC) counts were not significantly different among all salinities. At 15 g L-1 salinity, the NKA level in the gills was significantly different from that at 0 g L-1 salinity, but in the kidney, there was no difference among all salinities. These data provide useful information for future reference and aquaculture practices to reduce Hg effects on tilapia. In conclusion, higher salinity reduced the effect of Hg on the K+ level and WBC count in tilapia.
