The demand for sustainable and efficient protein sources in aquaculture has led to an increasing interest in exploring alternative feeds for fish. In recent years, insects have emerged as a promising option due to their nutritional value, economic viability, and potential to alleviate the environmental impact of traditional fish meals. This review critically examines the existing literature on the effect of insect feed on fish growth. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant studies, we evaluate the performance of fish fed with insect-based diets compared to those fed with conventional feeds. The review encompasses various insect species, feed formulations, and fish species, providing insights into the factors influencing growth outcomes. Our findings highlight the potential benefits and challenges of incorporating insect-based feeds in fish farming practices, with implications for sustainable aquaculture and food security. By synthesizing current knowledge, this review aims to guide future research and decision-making processes for optimizing fish nutrition and production while promoting ecological sustainability.

Plastic pollution ranks among the most severe environmental disasters caused by humans, generating millions of tonnes of waste annually. The extensive and unregulated use of plastics has led to ecotoxicity and environmental imbalance. Microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in aquatic environments, and these MPs further degrade into even smaller particles known as nano-plastics (NPs). Both MPs and NPs impact the environment by readily absorbing organic pollutants and pathogens from their surroundings, owing to their bigger surface area to volume ratio. This review focuses on the source of origin, bioaccumulation, and potential impact of MPs and NPs on aquatic organisms and human health. Additionally, the review explores various methods employed for identification and quantification of these particles in aquatic ecosystems. Sufficient information is available on their characteristics, distributions, and effects on marine ecosystems compared with freshwater ecosystems. For plastic particles <10 μm, more toxicological effects were observed compared with larger size particles, in aquatic life. Understanding the mechanism of action and ecotoxicological effects of micro/nano-plastics on the health of aquatic life across various trophic levels, as well as human health, is of utmost importance. We address knowledge gaps and provide insights into future research approaches for a better understanding of the interactive mechanisms between binary pollutants.

Danabaş, Durali; Naz, Saima; Chatha, Ahmad Manan Mustafa
In fish embryos, a variety of abnormalities have been found, including stunted growth, a reduced survival rate, and aberrant development. One plausible explanation is that early embryonic stages are more sensitive. Embryonic studies provide additional information regarding the various impacts of heavy metals on fish, but information on larval abnormalities caused by waterborne metals is lacking. It is found that cadmium (Cd) causes a decrease in thyroid hormone levels as well as a disruption in fish growth hormone expression. Similarly, negative health effects have been documented as a result of nickel (Ni) exposure. Some toxic effects on organs, skin irritation, skin itches or blisters and allergic reactions may occur as a result of Ni exposure. This review study focuses on the impacts of Cd and Ni, on the embryonic development of different fish species. The evidence on abnormalities in fish larvae caused by Cd and Ni was also provided in text.

Heavy metal accumulation in freshwater ecosystem has become one of the major aquatic environmental concerns for freshwater flora and fauna due to their higher stability and bioaccumulation as well as bio-magnification properties. Furthermore, passing through the food web, these heavy metals affect human populations ultimately. This study assessed the heavy metal accumulation in Cirrhinus mrigala in spring, autumn, and winter at different locations (I, II, and III) of Panjnad headwork. Furthermore, the human health risk assessment for the consumption of C. mrigala from the sampling locations was also carried out. Fish were collected from upper (I), middle (II), and lower (III) stream of Panjnad on a monthly basis. The current study evaluated the accumulation of Aluminum (Al), Arsenic (As), Barium (Ba), and Lead (Pb) in various fish organs (liver, kidney, gills, fins, skin, muscles and bones) and assessed their potential hazard to human health through health risk assessment indicators. The results demonstrated a significant difference (p < 0.05) in heavy metal accumulation in different fish organs, seasons, and locations. The accumulation of Al, As, Ba, and Pb were considerably higher in liver and kidney as compared to the other body organs and followed a trend of liver > kidney > gills > fins > skin > bones > muscle and the overall mean concentrations of metals in different body tissues of C. mrigala were in the order of Al > As > Ba > Pb. The results also concluded that C. mrigala caught from the Panjnad headwork is not safe for human consumption due to higher values of TTHQIng (3.76), THQIng for Ba (3.27) and CRIng for As (6.4742).
