“…The results of a survey study showed that joint diseases (rheumatism, meniscus tears), chronic sinusitis, and hearing loss were the most prevalent occupational diseases among fishery engineers in Turkey [ 23 ]. A current study indicated the majority of orthopedic problems were localized in the waist, back and neck area, severe pain in the joints, calcification, spine disorder and joint fluid problems among the workers in the Turkish marine fish hatcheries [ 24 ]. On the other hand, many occupational diseases in the field of aquaculture were reported based on individual case reports or systematic epidemiological studies, and those were categorized into 6 subtitles as follows: musculoskeletal disorders; dermatitis, urticarial, and skin infections; allergic respiratory disease; infections affecting other body systems; and decompression illness [ 25 ].…”

“…Risks to occupational safety and health are influenced by work environment factors, including the physical environment, work processes, human factors, and economic factors [23,24]. Occupational environment factors include potential workplace hazards, including aspects of the physical, chemical, ergonomic, biological, and psychosocial environment [13]. Influential factors in the work process are hazardous materials, working procedures, work skills, and the use of machinery [12].…”

Background: Small-scale fishermen's work activities are carried out in a marine environment which has the potential to cause certain work-related diseases. AIMS: This study aims to identify the incidence of work-related diseases among small-scale fishermen in Batam Island, Indonesia. Methods: This study used both quantitative and qualitative approaches involving 119 small-scale fishermen. Data was collected through questionnaires, observations, documentation, interviews, focus group discussions, and secondary data collection. Results: The results showed that all small-scale fishermen complained of diseases caused by threats in the chemical, physical, biological, psychological, and ergonomic factors group. Conclusion: Most fishermen complained about colds, fever, stings, blisters, skin allergies, and eye disorders/myopia. Most complaints were obtained from small-scale fishermen over 40 years old, especially the ones with smoking habits. Identification of work-related diseases was required to prevent and control the health problems that could endanger small-scale fishermen’s health and productivity.

Focusing on environmental and ecological concerns, the European Union (EU27) ranks as the world's fifth‐largest aquaculture producer. Acknowledging the necessity of enhancing productivity and competitiveness, the EU recognizes the importance of investing in the sustainability and growth of the aquaculture industry. Thus, the primary objective of this study is to investigate the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) elements on the development of the aquaculture sector within the European Union (EU13) and the European Union (EU14) from 1990 to 2023. To address potential endogeneity issues, this research employs Cross‐Sectional Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS‐ARDL) and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimators. The findings reveal significant insights. It is evident that, in comparison to emerging EU13 countries, developed EU14 countries place greater importance on ICT, human capital, and governance in facilitating the growth of the aquaculture industry. On the other hand, compared to EU14 developed countries, carbon dioxide emissions seem to be a major contributor to the deterioration of the aquaculture sector in EU13 developing countries. It is advised that policymakers in the EU13 countries give priority to projects that support ICT development, improve human capital, and put in place efficient governance procedures in light of these results. The EU14 countries' officials are encouraged to concentrate on promoting economic development in the aquatic industry and easing the anticipated expansion of aquaculture in the interim.
