504. Climate Change Effects on Blood Cockle Aquaculture
Blood cockle is a marine bivalve mollusk of the Arcidae family that contains hemoglobin in its fluid, with the largest growing to about 5 cm in shell length. This species is common as a food source in Southeast Asian countries and is also cultivated. The main fishing grounds for this species are the estuarine areas where mangrove forests and mud flats are formed, and the surrounding shallow-water areas. This article presents a case study of mass mortality of blood cockle in a sowing aquaculture fishery in Thailand during the rainy season, and considers measures to stabilize production.

495. Towards a Food System that Averts Future Pandemics
It has been two full years since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Pandemics are extremely costly, and prevention is more effective in reducing the incidence of the zoonotic diseases that cause them. Prevention of pandemics and zoonoses requires monitoring of the food system, which is the largest factor in biodiversity loss and land use change.

491. Obesity and the Food System
March 4 was World Obesity Day. Overweight and obesity are conditions that pose a risk to health, and as of 2017, it is estimated that over 4 million people die each year from overweight or obesity. Once a problem seen only in high-income countries, in recent years it has been on the rise in low- and middle-income countries, especially in urban areas. There is a need to fundamentally rethink the food system regarding dietary habits that cause overweight and obesity.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has been releasing Frontiers reports since 2016 that focus on emerging environmental challenges. In Frontiers 2022: Noise, Blazes and Mismatches, published on February 17, 2022, the following issues are addressed: the long-term physical and mental health impacts of urban noise pollution, the increasing frequency of wildfires and forest fires and the shifting rhythm of nature due to climate change. Today, we will focus on the mismatch between the life cycle patterns of plants and animals and the seasons.
