The eutrophication of natural water is a severe environmental risk faced by coastal marine ecosystems, and the excess nitrogen and phosphorus in aquaculture effluent are one of the main sources of environmental pollution. Effectively reducing as well as controlling the phosphorus content in aquaculture effluent is of great importance for alleviating eutrophication and the governance of coastal environments. This study focuses on addressing phosphorus pollution by developing novel bimetallic Ce-Al-MOFs adsorbents via the microwave-assisted rapid synthesis method, among which the monomer Ce₃Al₃-BDC₃ exhibits excellent phosphate adsorption capacity (136.99 mg P g⁻¹) and great removal efficiency over a wide pH range (2~10). Batch experiments reveal that the adsorption is followed by pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating monolayer chemisorption. The MOFs material shows high selectivity for phosphorus even under the interference of co-existing anions, as well as excellent reusability, retaining over 65% removal efficiency after six adsorption–desorption cycles. Field tests in coastal areas and indoor aquaculture systems both achieve over 97% phosphate removal, meeting discharge standards. A series of characterization methods identify ligand exchange, electrostatic interactions and surface complexation as key adsorption mechanisms. The Ce-Al-MOFs present a promising solution for mitigating eutrophication and managing aquaculture wastewater sustainably.

Dietary lipid sources influence growth, tissue nutrient composition, and physiological responses in aquatic animals, but their effects on female broodstock abalone remain insufficiently understood. This study evaluated the effects of five dietary lipid sources, including fish oil, perilla seed oil, safflower oil, olive oil, and lard, on growth performance, foot muscle nutritional quality, digestive-gland antioxidant status, and survival following Vibrio harveyi AP37 challenge in female broodstock Haliotis discus hannai. A total of 500 female abalone were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments, with four replicates per treatment, and fed isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets for 90 days. Results showed that the dietary lipid source significantly affected growth, foot muscle crude protein and lipid contents, amino acid and fatty acid compositions, and digestive-gland antioxidant status. The fish oil group showed the highest measured total amino acid and taurine contents and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) proportion in foot muscle, together with the highest observed final survival after V. harveyi challenge. Perilla seed oil and olive oil warrant further evaluation as alternative supplemental lipid sources under the present experimental conditions. These findings provide useful information for lipid source selection in formulated diets for female broodstock abalone.
