Probing the contamination characteristics, mobility, and risk assessments of typical plastic additive–phthalate esters from a typical coastal aquaculture area, China

There has been a significant investment in research to define exposures and potential hazards of pharmaceuticals in freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. A substantial number of integrated environmental risk assessments have been developed in Europe, North America and many other regions for these situations. In contrast, comparatively few empirical studies have been conducted for human and veterinary pharmaceuticals that are likely to enter coastal and marine ecosystems. This is a critical knowledge gap given the significant increase in coastal human populations around the globe and the growth of coastal megacities, together with the increasing importance of coastal aquaculture around the world. There is increasing evidence that pharmaceuticals are present and are impacting on marine and coastal environments. This paper reviews the sources, impacts and concentrations of pharmaceuticals in marine and coastal environments to identify knowledge gaps and suggests focused case studies as a priority for future research.

Here, we report the draft genome sequences of putative aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic bacterial strains Jannaschia sp. AI_61 and AI_62, isolated from seawater around a coastal aquaculture in Ainan, Ehime, Japan. These genome sequences could be useful for our understanding of the variation of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs in the genus.
