Mercury in Water and Fish Detected with Nanotechnology
When mercury is dumped into rivers and lakes, the toxic heavy metal can end up in the fish we eat and the water we drink. To help protect consumers from the diseases and conditions associated with mercury, researchers at Northwestern University in collaboration...

NEF: The Fight Against Illegal Fishing in West Africa and the EU
Global losses due to Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) or “pirate fishing” are estimated to be between US$10 billion and US$23.5 billion per year. West African waters are estimated to have the highest levels of IUU fishing in the world,...

Florfenicol Depletion in Water, Amine From Fillet Tissue After Feeding Aquaflor to Tilapia
Mark Gaikowski, Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center, US, determines the depletion of florfenicol (FFC) in water and florfenicol amine (FFA), a marker for FFC residue, from the fillet of market-weight tilapia in a recirculating aquaculture system...

How Fresh is Fresh? Perceptions, Experience When Buying, Consuming Fresh Cod
Most of us do not buy fresh fish that was caught more than three days ago. But if we do not know the date of capture, we are devouring fish that is often far older, says Nofima Scientist Jens Østli, and colleagues, who invited over 400 fishing customers...

Kudoa Parasites in Fish
Kudoa is a microscopic parasite found in several marine fish species worldwide. Enzymes produced by these parasites can make fish flesh soft or even gel-like, a condition commonly referred to as ”soft flesh”. The parasite does not infect humans. NIFES...
