Current trends for expansion of aquatic bioresources consumption by human, considering their importance for food security governance, maintenance of life and poverty alleviation inevitably lead to the urgency of balancing consumer interest with the ecological interest, which involve ensuring the rational use, proper protection and preservation condition of aquatic bioresources stock. Aquatic bioresources are an important economic resource, on the one hand, and on the other – an integrated component of wildlife as an object of environmental protection. It determines the regulation of the legal regime of aquatic bioresources use by norms of environmental, agriculture and business law. According to the Aquatic Animal Health Strategy 2021‑2025, approves by the World Organization for Animal Health, demand for aquatic animal products has been increasing and is predicted to rise by at least 32% by 2030, just as the increase of production of such products is wield major influence on achievement of many UN Sustainable Development Goals. In view of this, the position that the concept of fisheries development in a civilized society should be focused not only on meeting the economic needs of the state, but also aimed at ensuring the rational use of aquatic bioresources, their effective reproduction, appealing to those ecological functions they perform in the natural ecosystem, is substantiated in the article. Achieving this goal is seen in the ecologization of economic activity, reinforcement guarantees of unimpeded access of citizens to aquatic bioresources and improving the management component in the studied area. Moreover, the paper reflects issues related to the prospects of implementing of key provisions of the EU Common Fisheries Policy in national environmental legislation.

Veterinary Medicinal Products

The procedure for manufacture, sale and rational use of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products in veterinary medicine must comply with the national legislation, namely the Law of Ukraine “On Veterinary Medicine”. Only authorized in Ukraine veterinary medicinal products have been used in veterinary medicine as required with the recommendations stated in package leaflet, labeling and summary of the product characteristic. The article describes main principles of monitoring process sales turnover of antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products during period of study 2015-2018. On the suggestion of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) at the beginning of 2016 Ukraine started collecting annual sales data (for the previous year) on antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products in food-producing and domestic animals in accordance with the Chapter 6.9. of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code, 2016; 2018. The main goal of this study was the implementation of OIE recommendations in monitoring process by the assessment of sales patterns of antimicrobials, their influence on prudent use, in compliance with Ukrainian National Action Plan Tackling Antimicrobial Resistance, 2019. The study was conducted during four 12-month periods (from January 1 to December 31) during 2015-2018. The data in questionnaires reports were received from marketing authorization holders and distributors and collected as suggested by OIE. The specification of the amounts of the antimicrobials annual sales during 2015-2018 according route of administration and antimicrobial classes in [kg] and [%] of active ingredient were presented. The study revealed the main high-selling classes of antimicrobials (Tetracyclines, Penicillins and Sulfonamide+Trimethoprim); the commonly used route of administration (oral ~ 90 %) and part of veterinary critically important and important antimicrobials in total sales amounts of all antimicrobial veterinary medicinal products. Macrolides occupied the main part (10,2 %) in veterinary critically important antimicrobial medicinal products; part of Aminoglycosides was ~ 4 %; Fluoroquinolones – among 2,5 - 7,14 % and part of Cephalosporins was less than 1% during all years of the study. This study can be considered as the first step towards implementation a national monitoring system for rational and prudent use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine.

AbstractCoronaviruses are extremely susceptible to genetic changes due to the characteristic features of the genome structure, life cycle and environmental pressure. Their remarkable variability means that they can infect many different species of animals and cause different disease symptoms. Moreover, in some situations, coronaviruses might be transmitted across species. Although they are commonly found in farm, companion and wild animals, causing clinical and sometimes serious signs resulting in significant economic losses, not all of them have been classified by the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) as hazardous and included on the list of notifiable diseases. Currently, only three diseases caused by coronaviruses are on the OIE list of notifiable terrestrial and aquatic animal diseases. However, none of these three entails any administrative measures. The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 infections that have caused the COVID-19 pandemic in humans has proved that the occurrence and variability of coronaviruses is highly underestimated in the animal reservoir and reminded us of the critical importance of the One Health approach. Therefore, domestic and wild animals should be intensively monitored, both to broaden our knowledge of the viruses circulating among them and to understand the mechanisms of the emergence of viruses of relevance to animal and human health.

Outbreaks of the three capripox virus species, namely lumpy skin disease virus, sheeppox virus, and goatpox virus, severely affect animal health and both national and international economies. Therefore, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) classified them as notifiable diseases. Until now, discrimination of capripox virus species was possible by using different conventional PCR protocols. However, more sophisticated probe-based real-time qPCR systems addressing this issue are, to our knowledge, still missing. In the present study, we developed several duplex qPCR assays consisting of different types of fluorescence-labelled probes that are highly sensitive and show a high analytical specificity. Finally, our assays were combined with already published diagnostic methods to a diagnostic workflow that enables time-saving, reliable, and robust detection, differentiation, and characterization of capripox virus isolates.

Surface water is an essential element that supports natural ecosystem health and human life, and its losses or gains are closely related to national or local sustainable development. Monitoring the spatial-temporal changes in surface water can directly support the reporting of progress towards the sustainable development goals (SDGs) outlined by the government, especially for measuring SDG 6.6.1 indicators. In our study, we focused on Baiyangdian Lake, an important lake in North China, and explored its spatiotemporal extent changes from 2014 to 2020. Using long-term Sentinel-1 SAR images and the OTSU algorithm, our study developed an automatic water extraction framework to monitor surface water changes in Baiyangdian Lake at a 10 m resolution from 2014 to 2020 on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform. The results showed that (1) the water extraction accuracy in our study was considered good, showing high consistency with the existing dataset. In addition, it was found that the classification accuracy in spring, summer, and fall was better than that in winter. (2) From 2014 to 2020, the surface water area of Baiyangdian Lake exhibited a slowly rising trend, with an average water area of 97.03 km2. In terms of seasonal variation, the seasonal water area changed significantly. The water areas in spring and winter were larger than those in summer and fall. (3) Spatially, most of the water was distributed in the eastern part of Baiyangdian Lake, which accounted for roughly 57% of the total water area. The permanent water area, temporary water area, and non-water area covered 49.69 km2, 97.77 km2, and 171.55 km2, respectively. Our study monitored changes in the spatial extent of the surface water of Baiyangdian Lake, provides useful information for the sustainable development of the Xiong’an New Area and directly reports the status of SDG 6.6.1 indicators over time.

Science literacy, science popularization and STEM were analyzed as the structural elements on popular science landscape. Author considers audience, tools and other specific features for each of these elements. Modified definitions are suggested for simplification of further analysis. It was shown that starting from 21st Century science literacy and science popularization can be considered as two separate elements with different objectives and different audience. One more conclusion is the following. Public funding is the mandatory requirement for sustainable development of science literacy. The joint project was proposed for acceleration of World Organization on Science Literacy creation. The essence of this project is to create, print and distribute joint textbook “Create yourself by use your own tale” for increasing children creativity. The book should be adapted to the features of up to 10 countries.

Abstract Ranaviruses are emerging pathogens that threaten the biodiversity of wild and captive cold-blooded vertebrates. Reports of ranavirus-induced mortality events are increasing and ranavirus disease is reportable to the World Organization for Animal Health. Previous studies have suggested interclass transmission of ranaviruses and Frog virus 3 (FV3)-like viruses are of particular interest. This study presents the whole-genome assembly of a 106 kb FV3-like genome obtained from the liver tissue of a reptile (wild Chelydra serpentina, common snapping turtle) that died of ranavirus disease in Canada. The FV3-like ON turtle/2018 strain shares the highest genome-wide nucleotide identity (99.71%) with the wild-type FV3 virus detected in the USA from a Northern leopard frog and an FV3-like strain identified from a wood frog in 2017 in Alberta, Canada. The novel genome contains all 26 Iridoviridae core genes, 11 FV3-like genes, and 9 unique truncations, three of which are core Iridoviridae ORFs. Additionally, the two most closely related FV3-like strains from amphibians, were compared to a non-FV3-like amphibian infecting and a fish infecting ranavirus species that showed similar codon usage patterns. G/C-ending codons were the preferred codons for all five strains. Investigation of putative recombination events identified four potential recombination events in the FV3-like ON turtle/2018 genome consistent with this FV3-like reptile infecting strain originating from an amphibian infecting FV3-like ranavirus. Altogether, this study provides insights into the genome structure and the differences in the novel FV3-like genome compared to other ranavirus genomes.
