Standardized Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Biological Index Method for Ecosystem Health Evaluation in Large Waters of Aquaculture Type
Summary
Researchers developed a standardized fuzzy comprehensive evaluation biological index method for assessing ecosystem health in large aquaculture-type water bodies, providing a more nuanced tool for monitoring river and lake ecosystem conditions under increasing human environmental pressure.
The river ecosystem plays an important role in the material energy cycle in nature and the survival and development of human beings. With the development of human social production and the increasing impact on the environment, the health of rivers has attracted global attention. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the health status of large-scale aquaculture aquatic ecosystems based on the standardized method of fuzzy comprehensive biological index evaluation. Assessment of the health of aquaculture-type large aquatic ecosystems using the Bioindices method. The comparison of evaluation results shows that the waters P-IBI score calculated by the quadrant method is between 20-34, and the waters P-IBI score calculated by the third method is between 12-25. The situation is relatively consistent, so the quartile method is more suitable for evaluating the aquatic ecological health of aquaculture waters.

Aquatic ecosystem indices, linking ecosystem health to human health risks
Researchers reviewed indicators used to assess aquatic ecosystem health and found that most existing tools don't adequately capture the risks that degraded water ecosystems pose to human health and well-being. They propose a new set of combined indicators — covering chemical contaminants, pathogens, and biological markers — to better link ecosystem health monitoring to human health outcomes.
Development of Ecosystem Health Assessment (EHA) and Application Method: A Review
This review traces the development of ecosystem health assessment methods, comparing biological indicator approaches and index system methods and analyzing how they have been applied to assess the health of aquatic, terrestrial, and urban ecosystems under anthropogenic stress.
Effectiveness assessment of using water environmental microHI to predict the health status of wild fish
Researchers tested whether measuring the health of microbial communities in river water could predict the health status of wild fish living there. The study found that the environmental microbiota health index was effective for bottom-dwelling fish but less reliable for fish living in the open water, suggesting this non-invasive monitoring approach works best for certain types of aquatic species.
Multiple approach for assessing lagoon environmental status based on water bodies quality indices and microplastics accumulation
Researchers assessed lagoon environmental status using water quality indices and microplastic accumulation measurements, finding that combining these multiple approaches provides a more comprehensive evaluation of lagoon ecosystem health than single metrics alone.
Ecological Security Evaluation of Marine Ranching Based on DEMATEL-Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation
This study developed a multi-factor scoring system to evaluate the ecological health and security of marine ranching areas in China. Marine ranching ecosystems are increasingly threatened by microplastic pollution, making ecological security assessments important for sustainable fisheries management.
