Abstract
Elevated temperatures due to climate change pose a variety of environmental risks to the freshwater ecosystem. At the same time, zinc oxide (ZnO) has become widely used and has entered the freshwater environment. As thermal stress may potentially impact the physicochemical properties of ZnO, its toxicity to freshwater organisms in the face of global warming is poorly understood. The potential effects on reproductive performances, including oogenesis, are of particular concern. In this study, we investigate the reproductive performances and related mRNA abundance of the zooplankton Daphnia magna under conditions of ZnO exposure and heat stress. The results revealed that ZnO and elevated temperature delayed maturity and juvenile production of D. magna. Histological observations indicated that oogenesis was inhibited, and the number and size of oocytes were reduced in the condition of ZnO exposure under heat stress. Eventual offspring in the same treatment exhibited decreased numbers, size, and quality. Congenital juvenile anomalies were increased, such as deformed eye, and impaired antenna and tail spine. Moreover, both ZnO and elevated temperature treatments inhibited expression levels of reproduction-related genes (vtg, EcR and VMO1) and induced the dmrt93b gene involved in the production of male offspring. Furthermore, we found that D. magna tried to cope with ZnO and thermal stress by upregulating hsp90, HIF-1α and HIF-1β. ZnO and heat stress inhibited the reproductive capacity of D. magna, produced deleterious effects on reproduction-associated physiological pathways, and damaged reproductive outcomes.

Abstract
The world has faced climate change that affects hydrology and thermal systems in the aquatic environment resulting in temperature changes, which directly affect the aquatic ecosystem. Elevated water temperature influences the physico-chemical properties of chemicals in freshwater ecosystems leading to disturbing living organisms. Owing to the industrial revolution, the mass production of zinc oxide (ZnO) has been led to contaminated environments, and therefore, the toxicological effects of ZnO become more concerning under climate change scenarios. A comprehensive understanding of its toxicity influenced by main factors driven by climate change is indispensable. This review summarized the detrimental effects of ZnO with a single ZnO exposure and combined it with key climate change-associated factors in many aspects (i.e., oxidative stress, energy reserves, behavior and life history traits). Moreover, this review tried to point out ZnO kinetic behavior and corresponding mechanisms which pose a problem of observed detrimental effects correlated with the alteration of elevated temperature.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles disrupt development and function of the olfactory sensory system impairing olfaction-mediated behaviour in zebrafish. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 180:108227.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is an essential metal present in numerous enzymes throughout the body, playing a vital role in animal and human health. However, the increasing use of zinc oxide nanomaterials (ZnONPs) in a diverse range of products has raised concerns regarding their potential impacts on health and the environment. Despite these concerns, the toxicity of ZnONP exposure on animal health remain poorly understood. To help address this knowledge gap, we have developed a highly sensitive oxidative stress (OS) biosensor zebrafish capable of detecting cell/tissue-specific OS responses to low doses of various oxidative stressors, including Zn, in a live fish embryo. Using live-imaging analysis with this biosensor zebrafish embryo, we discovered that the olfactory sensory neurons in the brain are especially sensitive to ZnOP exposure. Furthermore, through studies monitoring neutrophil migration and neuronal activation in the embryonic brain and via behaviour analysis, we have found that sub-lethal doses of ZnONPs (ranging from 0.033 to 1 mg/L nominal concentrations), which had no visible effect on embryo growth or morphology, cause significant localised inflammation, disrupting the neurophysiology of olfactory brain tissues and ultimately impaired olfaction-mediated behaviour. Collectively, these findings establish a potent and important effect mechanism for ZnONP toxicity, indicating the olfactory sensory system as the primary target for ZnONPs as an environmental toxicant in aquatic environments. Our result also highlights that even low doses of ZnONPs can have detrimental effects on the olfactory sensory system, surpassing previous expectations. The importance of olfaction in environment sensing, sex behaviours and overall fitness across species raises concerns about the potential impact of ZnONPs on olfaction-mediated brain function and behaviour in animals and humans. Our study emphasises the need for greater consideration of the potential risks associated with these nanomaterials.

Zn-Al layered double hydroxides induce embryo malformations and impair locomotion behavior in Danio rerio. NANOIMPACT 2023; 30:100457.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are stimuli-responsive anionic nanoclays. The vast possibilities of using LDHs can lead to their existence in the ecosystem, raising a question of potential ecological concern. However, little is known about the effect of these nanomaterials on freshwater organisms. The present study aimed to assess the ecotoxicological effects of Zinc-Aluminium LDH-nitrate (ZnAl LDH-NO3) in zebrafish (Danio rerio) early life stages. The endpoints measured were mortality, malformations and hatching rate after exposure of D. rerio embryos and larvae to ZnAl LDH-NO3 following the OECD 236 guideline. The behavioral, biochemical (markers of oxidative stress and neurotoxicity), and molecular (at DNA level) alterations were also assessed using sub-lethal concentrations. No observable acute effects were detected up to 415.2 mg LDH/L while the 96 h-LC50 was estimated as 559.9 mg/L. Tested LDH caused malformations in D. rerio embryos, such as pericardial edema, incomplete yolk sac absorption and tail deformities (96 h-EC50 = 172.4 mg/L). During the dark periods, the locomotor behavior in zebrafish larvae was affected upon ZnAl LDH-NO3 exposure. However, no significant biochemical and molecular changes were recorded. The present findings suggest that ZnAl LDH-NO3 can be regarded as a non-toxic nanomaterial towards D. rerio (E/LC50 > > 100 mg/L) although impairment of the locomotion behavior on zebrafish embryos can be expected at concentrations below 100 mg/L.

Abstract
Most aquatic ecosystems are at risk of being polluted by new environmental pollutant nanoparticles. As the main food source of zooplankton, the biomass of algae always fluctuates. Cladocerans, an important part of zooplankton, are usually be simultaneously exposed to different abundance of algae and nanoparticles in aquatic environment. To evaluate the combined effects of food abundance and ZnO nanoparticles concentration on the development and early reproductive performance of cladocerans, we exposed Daphnia magna, a common and representative model organism in cladocerans, to the combinations of different abundances of Chlorella pyrenoidosa and different concentrations of ZnO nanoparticles, recorded the key life-history traits, and used multiple models to fit the data. Results showed that high level of ZnO nanoparticles and low abundance Chlorella had an interactively negative effect on the life history of D. magna. When D. magna was exposed to ZnO nanoparticles, some life history traits, such as survival time, body length at maturation, and offspring per female, increased exponentially with the increase of food abundance, and then reached a theoretical maximum value, whereas some other life history traits, such as time to maturation and time to first brood, showed an opposite trend. However, higher Chlorella abundance reduced the negative effect of ZnO nanoparticles on D. magna, but the negative effect could not be eliminated with the increase of food abundance. Below Chlorella 0.30 mg C L-1, food plays a decisive role, while at or above this threshold, ZnO nanoparticles play a decisive role. Therefore, the effect of different ZnO nanoparticles concentrations can be fully reflected only when food is sufficient, and the negative effects of food shortages may mask the toxic effects of ZnO nanoparticles on D. magna. The findings indicated that the effects of food abundance should be considered in evaluating the realistic impact of pollutants on zooplankton.

Abstract
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and multi-layer graphenes (MLGs) are widely used, and due to the lack of appropriate wastewater treatment may end up in the aquatic environment, with unknown consequences to biota. The main purpose of this study was to assess the acute toxicity, histopathological and behavioural changes caused by the exposure of ZnO NPs and MLGs, alone and combined, to the blackfish Capoeta fusca. The estimated mean 96 h-LC50 for ZnO NPs was 4.9 mg L-1 and 68.4 mg L-1 for MLGs. In combination, MLGs increased the acute toxicity of the ZnO NPs. The effects of the different NPs on the gills included hyperplasia, aneurisms, and fusion of the lamellae. In the intestine, exposure to the NPs resulted in an increase in the number and swelling of goblet cells and tissue degeneration. Loss of balance, restlessness, erratic and abnormal swimming patterns were the most common behavioural changes seen in the ZnO NPs' exposed blackfish. In contrast with the acute toxicity findings, MLGs decreased the histopathological and behavioural effects of the ZnO NPs on both gills and intestinal tissues as well as fish behaviour. Our experimental results illustrated insights into the simultaneous exposure assessment of metal-based NPs and carbon nanomaterials, although further research is needed on the interactions exposure of these substances to interpreting the toxicological effects of metal-based nanomaterials seen in exposed organisms.

Abstract
The rapid increase in production and usage of ZnO particles in recent years has instigated the concerns regarding their plausible effects on the environment. Current study explores the trophic transfer potential of ZnO particles of different sizes (50, 100 nm and bulk particles) from algae (Scenedesmus obliquus) to daphnia (Ceriodaphnia dubia) and the contribution of ZnO(ions) (effect of dissolved Zn ions that remain in test medium after separation NPs) to the overall toxicity of ZnO(total) (impact of both particle and dissolved Zn ions). Toxicity and uptake of ZnO(total) and ZnO(ions) in algae were found to be dependent on the concentration and particle size. Feeding of Zn accumulated algae (517 ± 28, 354.7 ± 61 and 291 ± 20 µg/g dry wt.) post-exposure to 61 µM of ZnO(total) of 50, 100 nm and bulk ZnO particles caused a significant decrease in the survival (15-20%) of daphnia. A significant amount of Zn accumulation was observed in daphnia even after the 48 h depuration period. Biomagnification factor was found to be nearly 1 for all the sizes of ZnO particles tested. For 50 nm ZnO, the BMF was higher when compared to other two sizes, reaching the mean value of 1.06 ± 0.01 at 61 µM. Further analysis revealed that the dietary uptake of different sizes of ZnO particles caused ultra-structural damages and degradation of internal organs in daphnia.

Abstract
In this paper the aim is to investigate the toxic effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and is to analyze the removal of ZnONP in aqueous medium by the consortium consisted of Daphnia magna and Lemna minor. Three separate test groups are formed: L. minor ([Formula: see text]), D. magna ([Formula: see text]), and L. minor + D. magna ([Formula: see text]) and all these test groups are exposed to three different nanoparticle concentrations ([Formula: see text]). Time-dependent, concentration-dependent, and group-dependent removal efficiencies are statistically compared by non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and statistically significant differences are observed. The optimum removal values are observed at the highest concentration [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text]and [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] and realized at [Formula: see text] for all test groups [Formula: see text]. There is no statistically significant differences in removal at low concentrations [Formula: see text] in terms of groups but [Formula: see text] test groups are more efficient than [Formula: see text] test groups in removal of ZnONP, at [Formula: see text] concentration. Regression analysis is also performed for all prediction models. Different models are tested and it is seen that cubic models show the highest predicted values (R2). In toxicity models, R2 values are obtained at (0.892, 0.997) interval. A simple solution-phase method is used to synthesize ZnO nanoparticles. Dynamic Light Scattering and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) are used to detect the particle size of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles.
