Direct and Delayed Mortality of Ceriodaphnia dubia and Rainbow Trout Following Time-Varying Acute Exposures to Zinc. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND CHEMISTRY 2021; 40:2484-2498. [PMID: 34288068 PMCID: PMC8457064 DOI: 10.1002/etc.5131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The potential for delayed mortality following short-term episodic pollution events was evaluated by exposing cladocerans (Ceriodaphnia dubia) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) to zinc (Zn) in various 1- to 48-h and 1- to 96-h exposures, respectively, followed by transferring the exposed organisms to clean water for up to 47 h for C. dubia and up to 95 h for trout for additional observation. For C. dubia, 1-h exposures of up to 3790 µg Zn/L never resulted in mortality during the actual Zn exposures, but by 48 h, a 1-h exposure to 114 µg/L, a concentration similar to the present US national water quality acute criterion for the test water conditions, ultimately killed 70% of C. dubia. With C. dubia, the speed of action of Zn toxicity was faster for intermediate concentrations than for the highest concentrations tested. For rainbow trout, pronounced delayed mortalities by 96 h only occurred following ≥8-h exposures. For both species, ultimate mortalities from Zn exposures ≤8 h mostly presented as delayed mortalities, whereas for exposures ≥24 h, almost all ultimate mortalities presented during the actual exposure periods. With Zn, risks of delayed mortality following exposures to all concentrations tested were much greater for the more sensitive, small-bodied invertebrate (C. dubia) than for the less sensitive, larger-bodied fish (rainbow trout). These results, along with previous studies, show that delayed mortality is an important consideration in evaluating risks to aquatic organisms from brief, episodic exposures to some substances.

Sublethal zinc exposure has a detrimental effect on reproductive performance but not on the cyst hatching success of Artemia parthenogenetica. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2008; 398:48-52.

Abstract
The sublethal zinc toxicity to Artemia parthenogenetica as regards the possibility of colonization of zinc polluted salterns by means of cysts has been assessed by a cyst hatching assay and a life table approach. Emergence and hatching at different times as well as the whole hatching profile were taken as end-points for evaluating success of development. Demographic and reproductive parameters calculated according to the Lotka equation were used as an indicator of the chronic toxicity of the population. No adverse effects of waterborne zinc were found on hatching and emergence of cysts of A. parthenogenetica at any of the concentrations tested (0.01 mg/l, 0.1 mg/l, 0.5 mg/l, 1 mg/l, 5 mg/l). Chronic zinc exposure at 0.08 mg/l had detrimental effects on A. parthenogenetica fecundity, as detected by a decrease in the percentage of fertile females, which in turn produces a decrease in r. Chronic toxicity of zinc may be a limiting step for A. parthenogenetica colonization and the establishing of permanent populations in zinc-polluted brine ponds.

Abstract
Marine ectotherms, including oysters are exposed to variable environmental conditions in coastal shallow waters and estuaries. In the light of global climate change, additional stressors like pollution might pose higher risk to populations. On the basis of the concept of oxygen- and capacity-limited thermal tolerance in aquatic ectotherms ( 40 ), we show that a persistent pollutant, cadmium, can have detrimental effects on oysters ( Crassostrea virginica). During acute warming from 20 to 28°C (4°C/48 h) standard metabolic rate (SMR) rose in control and cadmium-exposed (50 μg Cd2+/l) animals, with a consistently higher SMR in Cd-exposed oysters. Additionally, Cd-exposed oysters showed a stronger temperature-dependent decrease in hemolymph oxygen partial pressures. This observation indicates that the effect of temperature on aerobic metabolism was exacerbated due to the additional Cd stress. The oxygen delivery systems could not provide enough oxygen to cover Cd-induced elevated metabolic demands at high temperatures. Interestingly, cardiac performance (measured as the heart rate and hemolymph supply to tissues) rose to a similar extent in control and Cd-exposed oysters with warming indicating that cardiac output was unable to compensate for elevated energy demand in Cd-exposed oysters. Together with the literature data on metal-induced reduction of ventilatory capacity, these findings suggest that synergistic effects of elevated temperatures and cadmium exposure led to oxygen limitation by impaired performance in oxygen supply through ventilation and circulation. Overall, cadmium exposure resulted in progressive hypoxemia in oysters at high temperatures, suggesting that the thermal tolerance window is narrowed in marine ectotherms inhabiting polluted areas compared with pristine environments.

Abstract
An orthologue of the mammalian ZnT-1 (zinc transporter-1) gene was cloned from the intestine of the torafugu pufferfish (Takifugu rubripes), demonstrating that this gene predates the evolution of land-living vertebrates. TrZnT-1 (T. rubripes ZnT-1) shares overall topology with other members of the ZnT-1 family of zinc transporters, with six TMs (transmembrane domains) including a large histidine-rich intracellular loop between TM IV and V and intracellular C- and N-termini. Expression of TrZnT-1 in a metallothionein acquiescent cell line suggested that this protein reduces intracellular Zn2+ levels. Manipulation of the transporting media showed that several externally applied hydrominerals had no effect on TrZnT-1 activity. However, addition of N-ethylmaleimide increased TrZnT-1-mediated transport, possibly by increasing intracellular free Zn2+ levels by Zn2+ release from carrier proteins. Generation of a specific antibody and subsequent immunocytochemistry on fixed cells overexpressing TrZnT-1 indicated that the protein is localized to the plasma membrane in these cells. The genomic organization of TrZnT-1 is the same as that in mammals with two exons. The upstream regulatory region of the TrZnT-1 gene contains several putative cis-acting elements, including metal-response elements and an Sp1 site. Analysis of the DNA contigs surrounding the TrZnT-1 gene reveal limited synteny between corresponding regions in the rat, mouse and human; however, this was very low, with only two syntenic genes, ZnT-1 and NEK2 (never in mitosis gene A-related kinase).

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2004; 139:163-73.

Abstract
A suite of respiratory, acid-base, ionoregulatory, hematological, and stress parameters were examined in adult rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) after chronic exposure to a sublethal level of dietary Cd (500 mg/kg diet) for 45 days and during a subsequent challenge to waterborne Cd (10 microg/L) for 72 h. Blood sampling via an indwelling arterial catheter revealed that dietary Cd had no major effects on blood gases, acid-base balance, and plasma ions (Ca(2+), Mg(2+), K(+), Na(+), and Cl(-)) in trout. The most notable effects were an increase in hematocrit (49%) and hemoglobin (74%), and a decrease in the plasma total ammonia (43%) and glucose (49%) of the dietary Cd-exposed fish relative to the nonexposed controls. Dietary Cd resulted in a 26-fold increase of plasma Cd level over 45 days (approximately 24 ng/mL). The fish exposed to dietary Cd showed acclimation with increased protection against the effects of waterborne Cd on arterial blood P(aCO2) and pH, plasma ions, and stress indices. After waterborne Cd challenge, nonacclimated fish, but not Cd-acclimated fish, exhibited respiratory acidosis. Plasma Ca(2+) levels declined from the prechallenge level, but the effect was more pronounced in nonacclimated fish (44%) than in Cd-acclimated fish (14%) by 72 h. Plasma K(+) was elevated only in the nonacclimated fish. Similarly, waterborne Cd caused an elevation of all four traditional stress parameters (plasma total ammonia, cortisol, glucose, and lactate) only in the nonacclimated fish. Thus, chronic exposure to dietary Cd protects rainbow trout against physiological stress caused by waterborne Cd and both dietary and waterborne Cd should be considered in determining the extent of Cd toxicity to fish.

Abstract
Zinc is a vital micronutrient, yet as an environmental toxicant it can be deleterious to aquatic organisms such as fish. Consequently, the study of zinc uptake mechanisms is essential for understanding nutrition, toxicity, and metabolism of this metal. Intestinal zinc uptake was studied in two marine teleosts, using both in vitro (in vitro perfusion and intestinal sacs) and in vivo techniques (in situ bolus). Female squirrelfish (Holocentrus adscensionis) exhibited significantly increased epithelial zinc uptake associated with enhanced hepatic zinc accumulation. This confirms this zinc-hyperaccumulating teleost as a potential model of zinc absorption. Intestinal zinc uptake in the gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) was biphasic with respect to zinc concentration (0.3-500 microM), exhibiting both saturable and passive uptake components. In both species, the passage of zinc into the postintestinal compartment was highly dependent on technique. Decreased proportions of postintestinal zinc in vivo, coupled with concentration-dependent distribution of zinc accumulation, suggested mechanisms may act to control the movement of zinc into the circulation. In addition, the results of this study were used to reinterpret previous findings of zinc uptake in freshwater fish and allowed a critique of techniques used to study intestinal metal uptake.

Abstract
The advent of DNA array technology and proteomics has revolutionised biology by allowing global analysis of cellular events. So far, the benefits from these new techniques have primarily been realised for well-characterised species. These organisms are rarely the most relevant for environmental biology and ecotoxicology. Thus, there is a need to explore new ways to exploit transcriptomics and proteomics for non-model species. In the present study, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were exposed to a sublethal concentration of waterborne zinc for up to 6 days. The response in gill tissue was investigated by differential screening of a heterologous cDNA array and by protein profiling using Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionisation (SELDI). The cDNA array, which was a high-density spotted library of cDNA from Fugu rubripes gill, revealed differentially expressed genes related to energy production, protein synthesis, paracellular integrity, and inflammatory response. SELDI analysis yielded seven proteins that were consistently present only in zinc-exposed gills, and four proteins unique to gills from control fish. A further 11 proteins were differentially regulated. Identification of these proteins by bioinformatics proved difficult in spite of detailed information on molecular mass, charge and zinc-binding affinity. It is concluded that these approaches are viable to non-model species although both have clear limitations.

Abstract
The Biotic Ligand Model has been previously developed to explain and predict the effects of water chemistry on the toxicity of copper, silver, and cadmium. In this paper, we describe the development and application of a biotic ligand model for zinc (Zn BLM). The data used in the development of the Zn BLM includes acute zinc LC50 data for several aquatic organisms including rainbow trout, fathead minnow, and Daphnia magna. Important chemical effects were observed that influenced the measured zinc toxicity for these organisms including the effects of hardness and pH. A significant amount of the historical toxicity data for zinc includes concentrations that exceeded zinc solubility. These data exhibited very different responses to chemical adjustment than data that were within solubility limits. Toxicity data that were within solubility limits showed evidence of both zinc complexation, and zinc-proton competition and could be well described by a chemical equilibrium approach such as that used by the Zn BLM.

Abstract
The relationships among growth, feeding behaviour, ion regulation, swimming performance and oxygen consumption in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were compared during chronic exposure (up to 100 days) to sublethal levels of waterborne Cd (3 µg.l(-1)), Cu (75 µg.l(-1)) or Zn (250 µg.l(-1)) in moderately hard water (hardness of 140 mg.l(-1), pH 8). A pattern of disturbance, recovery and stabilization was evident for all three metal exposures, although the degree of disturbance, specific response and time course of events varied. Growth was unaffected by any of the metals under a regime of satiation feeding but appetite was increased and decreased in Cu- and Cd-exposed trout respectively. Critical swimming speed was significantly lowered in fish chronically exposed to Cu, an effect associated with elevated O(2) consumption rate at higher swimming speeds. Branchial Na(+)/K(+) ATPase activity was elevated in Cu-exposed fish but not in Cd-exposed trout. Disruption of carcass Na(+) and Ca(2+) balance was evident within 2 days of exposure to either Cd, Cu or Zn, with subsequent recovery to control levels. The loss of Ca(2+) in trout exposed to waterborne Cd persisted longest, and recovery took approximately a month. The physiological response of trout to chronic Cu exposure involves mechanisms that result in an associated metabolic cost. In comparison, Cd is neither a loading nor a limiting stress and acclimation to chronic Cd-exposure does not appear to involve a long term metabolic cost.

Abstract
Rainbow trout were experimentally infected with the causative agent of bacterial gill disease (BGD) (Flavobacterium branchiophilum) via bath challenge. All fish were cannulated with dorsal aortic catheters, had nasogastric tubes sutured in place for feeding, and were maintained individually, in plexiglass boxes with a flow-through water system. Fish were either fed, or unfed during the trial. Acute changes in blood gas, serum biochemistry and clinical parameters were monitored. By 24h post-challenge, BGD-infected trout that had been fed had significant hypoxemia, hypercapnia, increased blood ammonia, hypoosmolality, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, and increased cough and respiratory rates when compared to control levels. Unfed BGD-infected trout had similar, but less severe blood gas and clinical changes, and no electrolyte disturbances. The BGD-induced hypoxemia is likely exacerbated by increased oxygen demands brought on by feeding. It is not known what association feeding has with the development of low serum ion levels in BGD-infected trout. This is the first study to report the use of fed fish, as opposed to unfed or starved trout, in obtaining blood chemistry values from indisturbed and cannulated animals.

Abstract
Environmental stressors, both natural and humanly induced, could cause changes in cellular function which alter the physiology of organ systems in fish. The need to comprehend and predict the condition which stress metals will pose on fish, and extrapolate the effect of pollutants from laboratory to population levels, have forced scientists to search for physiological and biochemical indicators of health and sublethal toxicant effects. Hematological evaluation of fish blood provides valuable facts concerning the physiological response of fish to changes in the external environment. Furthermore, hematological variables are well known for their clinical value in prognosis and diagnosis. Sublethal responses after exposure to toxicants can be determined by commonly applied techniques. Measurements for a number of hematological and carbohydrate metabolic variables were recorded at winter and summer temperatures after fish, acclimated for 3 months to experimental conditions, were exposed to sublethal concentrations of copper for 96 hr in a continuous-flow experimental system. Controls were run at the same time to establish essential baseline hematological values. Fish were exposed to the mean copper concentration as was found in the Olifants River, Kruger National Park, during summer (0.05 +/- 0.032 mg liter-1) and winter (0.085 +/- 0.032 mg liter-1) to establish the effect thereof on the variables mentioned. The results proved that the concentration of copper in the river exerts a physiological effect on Clarias gariepinus at 21 +/- 1 and 28 +/- 1 degrees C which manifests in changed blood chemistry. Pathological conditions, such as erythrocytopenia, leucocytosis, hyperglycemia, and hyperprotonemia, are evident. The fish physiologically adapted to the environmental change, which does not necessarily reflect a state of normality.
