title: Baseline characterization of the practices and utilization of feed ingredients among processors/millers in Kenya

description: The sustainability and resilience of aquaculture feed systems in sub-Saharan Africa depend not only on farm-level feeding practices but also on the availability, quality, and accessibility of locally produced feed ingredients. To support this objective, WorldFish is implementing a five-year initiative titled Development and Scaling of Sustainable Feeds for Resilient Aquatic Food Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (FASA), funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad). The project seeks to strengthen local feed value chains by promoting the production, processing, and use of affordable and nutritionally appropriate feed ingredients.

This dataset presents baseline survey data collected from 178 small-scale fish feed ingredient processors in Kenya. The processors operate across key aquaculture regions, including the Lake Victoria basin and coastal counties. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered through face-to-face interviews with processors involved in the sourcing, processing, storage, and marketing of locally available feed ingredients.

The dataset captures detailed information on processor characteristics, types of feed ingredients handled, processing technologies and practices, sourcing and seasonality of raw materials, quality control measures, storage and handling practices, production volumes and costs, market access, pricing, and linkages with fish farmers and feed millers. Additional variables document constraints faced by processors, including technical, financial, regulatory, and market-related challenges, as well as access to training, extension services, and institutional support.

This dataset provides an empirical basis for analyzing bottlenecks and opportunities within local feed ingredient supply chains, informing the design of targeted interventions to improve feed quality, reduce costs, and strengthen market linkages. It also establishes baseline indicators for monitoring progress and evaluating the impact of FASA interventions aimed at enhancing the sustainability and inclusiveness of aquaculture feed systems in sub-Saharan Africa.

title: Genome Assembly and Characterization of the Endangered Long-armed Scarab Beetle, <i>Cheirotonus jansoni</i>

description: <i>Cheirotonus jansoni</i> is a nationally protected and ornamental beetle species endemic to southern China, northern Burma, and Vietnam. Due to habitat degradation and illegal collection, its populations have declined significantly, prompting urgent conservation efforts. Here, we present a high-quality, chromosome-level genome assembly for <i>C. jansoni</i> to support future ecological and evolutionary studies. Male adults were collected from Qingliangfeng national nature reserve, and high molecular weight DNA was extracted for sequencing. The genome was assembled using PacBio long reads and scaffolded with Hi-C chromatin conformation data. The final assembly spans approximately 620.03 Mb, with a scaffold N50 of 101.60 Mb and 98.9 % of sequences anchored to 10 chromosomes. Benchmarking with BUSCO revealed a 93.6% completeness rate, indicating high assembly quality. This genomic resource provides a valuable foundation for studying the genetic basis of adaptation, population decline, and conservation planning in <i>C. jansoni</i> and related species.

title: Computational Data Archive in Support of the Linear and Cyclic Peptide Formation and Hydrolysis Molecular Mechanisms

description: In search for the goldilocks zone in the chemical space for amino acid oligomerization that is relevant to the emergence of protein-based metabolism, we investigated the formation mechanism of peptide bond in linear and cyclic peptides under hydrothermal conditions in bulk water. For both product formation, we identified a multi-step mechanisms that reproduces the experimentally known barriers. By careful evaluation of a comprehensive set of levels of theory, modelling of solvation effect, and calculation of thermochemical parameters, we established a robust computational model to expand the bulk water focus to interfacial phenomena of atmospheric/hydrospheric and litospheric/hydrospheric boundaries. In both investigations we differentiated among various scenarios that allows for drawing conclusions for peptide condensations in gas phase/vacuum, high-temperature/close to boiling aqueous environments, hydrothermal conditions, and ambient conditions with pH effect. 

The cyclic peptide study also well demonstrate the important role of Nuclear Quantum Effects as determined from multi-component density functional calculations.

While we cannot travel back in time billions of years to witness the "birth" of the first macromolecule with pre-biotic relevance, we present the dataset and the corresponding publication in RSC Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry (July 26, 2023 issue for the linear peptide and TBD 2026 issue for the cyclic peptide) as our efforts to establish an unbiased computational platform, where we can evaluate experiments and generate experimentally testable ideas.

title: The genome assembly and annotated genes of the striped fruit fly Zeugodacus scutellatus (Diptera: Tephritidae)

description: The striped fruit fly <i>Zeugodacus scutellata</i> (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a major cucurbit pest causing over 70% yield losses during outbreaks and poses an ongoing quarantine threat across Asia. To date, the absence of a high‐quality reference genome has hindered studies of its invasion dynamics and host adaptations. Here, we present a chromosome‐level assembly generated using Illumina short reads, PacBio HiFi long reads, and Hi‐C scaffolding. The final assembly is highly contiguous (contig N50 &gt;10.3 Kb; scaffold N50 &gt;75.5 Mb) and exhibits &gt;99.3% BUSCO completeness. Annotation identified 13,327 protein‐coding genes. We also catalogued repetitive elements, providing insight into genome architecture. All raw sequencing data, assembly files, and annotations have been deposited in public repositories. This resource will enable comparative genomics of Tephritid pests, facilitate population‐level analyses of dispersal and adaptation, and support development of molecular tools for monitoring and targeted management of <i>Z. scutellata</i>.
