An overview of climate-driven stress responses in striped catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus) – prospects in aquaculture
Summary
This review covers the effects of climate change stressors — including temperature, salinity, and flooding — on striped catfish aquaculture in Southeast Asia. It is not about microplastics and is not relevant to microplastic research.
Aquaculture sector significantly contribute in terms of food and nutrition security, sustainable livelihood, poverty eradication as well as overall economic development throughout the world. However, sustainable aquaculture production is a great challenge due to the climate change issues including global warming, rainfall variation, flood, and salinity intrusion. To consider the negative effects of climate changes on aquaculture production, culture of striped catfish can be one of the effective strategies for adaptation to climate changes. The capability to tolerate several adverse environmental conditions makes it a suitable aquaculture species. Moreover, striped catfish can be cultured at high stocking densities in wide range of waterbodies such freshwater, brackish water and saltwater environment as well as culture practices including monoculture, polyculture, and cage culture. Finally, it is highly recommended that striped catfish could be the best suitable candidate for aquaculture to adapt the future climate changes. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. 2023, 9 (3), 70-88

Habitat changes of a small endemic euryhaline fish species in the northern margin of the South China Sea under the background of global warming
This paper is not relevant to microplastics research; it models the habitat range shifts of an endemic medaka fish species in the South China Sea under past and future climate scenarios, with no focus on plastic contamination.
Impacts of Climate Change: Can Fisheries and Aquaculture Sectors Survive the Wave?
This review assesses both short- and long-term impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture, including shifts in species distribution, productivity, and community resilience. While not focused on microplastics, the study addresses the dual pressures plastic pollution and climate change place on marine food systems.
Survival Rate and Growth Length of Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) Exposed to Microplastics
This study found that catfish exposed to microplastics showed reduced survival rates and slower growth compared to unexposed fish. The results are concerning because catfish is a widely farmed and consumed freshwater species, and microplastic contamination in aquaculture environments could affect both fish welfare and the quality of seafood reaching consumers.
Responses of freshwater organisms to multiple stressors in a climate change scenario: a review on small-scale experiments
This review summarizes 156 publications on how freshwater organisms respond to combinations of temperature and salinity changes along with other stressors including metals, pesticides, and emerging contaminants like microplastics in controlled small-scale experiments. It finds that combined stressor effects are often non-additive and species-specific, with significant knowledge gaps remaining for microplastic interactions under climate change scenarios.
Modelling to inform the conservation and management of aquatic ecosystems: A synthesis of five case studies
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper presents five modeling case studies for managing aquatic ecosystems under threats including invasive species, over-exploitation, and climate change; microplastics are briefly mentioned as one of many stressors but are not the paper's focus.
