Sustainable ecosystem services are increasingly recognized amid rapid regional transformation. While the rate of urbanization in China continues to rise, there is an urgent need to evaluate public preferences and their associated economic values concerning urban green space (UGS). The aim of this study was to calculate the overall willingness-to-pay (WTP) for UGS across China. Literature search was performed systematically on Scopus, Scilit, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases on 11 November 2023. Studies reporting the WTP in China were included in the analysis. Quality of the included studies were appraised by using Q-SSP tool consisting of 20-item quality of survey studies in psychology. To calculate the overall willing to pay rate and WTP, a meta-analysis was performed using restricted maximum-likelihood model on raw proportions. A total of nine studies were included comprised of 9381 valid responses with high quality according to Q-SSP (score: 70–90%). Findings from the meta-analysis indicated that the rate of willing to pay for UGS was 70.8% (95%CI: 60%, 82%; p-Het<0.001, I2= 99.37%). The rate was not affected by sample size, age, gender, and education (p>0.05). Among mainland Chinese population alone, the average minimum WTP was 2.97 USD/month, and increased to 3.36 USD/month if combined with Hong Kong population. A majority of over 70% Chinese population were willing to pay for UGS. Nevertheless, high heterogeneity in the pooled estimates suggest the importance of addressing contextual variables and presence of regional disparities.

Mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) is a fishery commodity that has high economic value. The supply of mangrove crabs in Indonesia is still dominated by wild catches. One of the places to catch mangrove crabs in Banda Aceh City is the Mangrove Area of Deah Raya Village, Syiah Kuala District. Mud crabs are very susceptible to infestation by pathogens in their environment. Pathogens that are often found infesting mud crabs are parasites. Ectoparasite attacks are very dangerous for mud crabs because they can cause damage to the body organs of mud crabs. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the level of intensity and prevalence of ectoparasites in mud crabs (Scylla serrata) caught by fishermen in Deah Raya Village. This research uses a survey method with a purposive sampling method. Ectoparasite examination is carried out using the smear method. This research was conducted at the Hatchery Laboratory of the Faculty of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in May 2024. Mangrove crabs (Scylla serrata) were studied by 30 individuals. The results of the observations found types of ectoparasites from the protozoa phylum, namely Zoothamnium sp, Epistylis sp, Vorticella sp, and from the arthropod phylum Octolasmis sp. The prevalence value of the type of ectoparasite that infests Scylla serrata is Zoothamnium sp (50%) infection "very often" Epistylis sp (20%) infection "often" Vorticella sp (10%) infection "often" Octolasmis sp (10%) infection "often" The intensity value of the type of ectoparasite that infests Scylla serrata is Zoothamnium sp. (7.5 ind/head) "Medium" infection Epistylis sp. (5 ind/head) "Low" infection Vorticella sp.(2ind/head) "Low" infection and Octolasmis sp.(1 ind/head) "Low" infection ”

Mangrove crab (Scylla serrata) is a fishery commodity that has high economic value. The supply of mangrove crabs in Indonesia is still dominated by wild catches. One of the places to catch mangrove crabs is in the Mangrove Area of Deah Raya Village, Syiah Kuala District, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Mud crabs are very susceptible to infestation by pathogens in their environment. Pathogens that are often found infesting mud crabs are parasites. Ectoparasite attacks are very dangerous for mud crabs because they can damage the body organs of mud crabs. Therefore, this research was conducted to determine the level of intensity and prevalence of ectoparasites in mud crabs (S. serrata) caught by fishermen in Deah Raya Village. This research uses a survey method with a purposive sampling method. Ectoparasite examination is carried out using the smear method. This research was conducted at the Hatchery Laboratory of the Faculty of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in May 2024. Thirty crabs (S. serrata) were randomly sampled from the mangrove area in Deah Raya Village, Syiah Kuala District, and observed for the presence of ectoparasites. The observations revealed that the crabs were infested by ectoparasites from the protozoa phylum (such as Zoothamnium sp., Epistylis sp., and Vorticella sp.) and from the arthropod phylum (Octolasmis sp.). Infestation by Zoothamnium sp. was found as the most prevalent (n=15, 50%), followed by Epistylis sp. (n=6, 20%), Vorticella sp (n=3, 10%), and Octolasmis sp (n=3, 10%). The infestation intensity for Zoothamnium was 7.5 individuals per crab, Epistylis sp. 5.0 individuals per crab, Vorticella sp. 2 individuals per crab, and Octolasmis sp. 1 individual per crab. Considering the high prevalence and intensity of Zoothamnium sp. in the mangrove crabs, the mitigating efforts can be focused on this ectoparasite.
