Estuarine fronts, which arise from the convergence of distinct water masses, exhibit considerable spatial and temporal variability and play a crucial role in shaping ecological dynamics within estuarine ecosystems. Despite their importance, due to limited data, there’s inefficiency understanding on how biological communities, particularly zooplankton, respond to these dynamic environmental features. The Yangtze River Estuary (...

Cadmium (Cd) is a common environmental pollutant that accumulates mainly in the kidneys and thus endangers the physiological health of aquatic animals. Selenium (Se) is a natural antidote to heavy metals that antagonises heavy metal toxicity and enhances the antioxidant capacity of organisms. Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) can reduce the toxicity of heavy metals through adsorption, reduction and metabolism. Studies hav...
