Abstract
Neonicotinoids pesticides are extensively used in many countries due to their high insect selectivity. Acetamiprid and thiamethoxam are the neonicotinoids most commonly detected in the aquatic environment. This work examined the single and joint toxicity of acetamiprid and thiamethoxam in a freshwater fish Catla catla. Fish were exposed to acetamiprid (0.5 mg/L and 1 mg/L), thiamethoxam (0.01 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L) and their binary mixtures (0.5 mg/L of acetamiprid and 0.01 mg/L of thiamethoxam) for 96 h. The stress biomarkers such as glucose, protein, electrolytes, Na+/K+ -ATPase and oxidative stress were evaluated. Among the biochemical parameters, plasma protein, electrolytes (sodium, potassium and chloride) and gill ATPase activity were decreased in response to individual and binary mixtures treatments. In contrast, blood glucose level showed significant increase in all the treatments. Exposure to various concentrations of acetamiprid and thiamethoxam resulted in significant decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the gill tissue. However, SOD activity was significantly elevated during binary mixtures treatment. Glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in gills were decreased significantly after individual and binary mixtures treatments. Fish exposed at individual and binary mixtures significantly elevated the level of LPO in gill tissue. Our findings suggest that multi-biomarker approach can be effectively used to assess the effects of joint toxicity of pesticides and to monitor the neonicotinoids pesticides in the aquatic environment.

Uçkun M. Assessing the toxic effects of bisphenol A in consumed crayfish Astacus leptodactylus using multi biochemical markers. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 29:25194-25208. [PMID: 34839436 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-17701-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/18/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), has strong potential for daily exposure to humans and animals due to its persistence and widespread in the environment, so its effects directly concern public health. Although invertebrates represent important components of aquatic ecosystems and are at significant risk of exposure, there is little information about the biological effects of EDCs in these organisms. Astacus leptodactylus used in this study is one of the most consumed and exported freshwater species in Europe. In this study, the 96-h effect of BPA on A. leptodactylus was examined using various biomarkers. The LC50 value of BPA was determined as 96.45 mg L-1. After 96 h of exposure to BPA, there were increases in superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities and levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), and total oxidant status context (TOSC), and there were decreases in the activity of glutathione reductase (GR), carboxylesterase (CaE), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), Na+/K+ ATPase, Mg2+ ATPase, Ca2+ ATPase, and total ATPase and the total antioxidant context (TAC). From the results of this study, it can be concluded that BPA has significant toxic effects on A. leptodactylus based on the selected biochemical parameters of antioxidant, cholinergic, detoxification, and metabolic systems in crayfish even at low doses. Thus, it can be said that BPA can seriously threaten the aquatic ecosystem and public health.

Abstract
Pesticide exposure is thought to be one of the common reasons for the decline in amphibian populations, a phenomenon that is a major threat to global biodiversity. Although the single effects of pesticides on amphibians have been well studied, the effects of mixtures are not well known. The present study aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity of the insecticide thiacloprid and the fungicide trifloxystrobin on early developmental stages of Xenopus laevis using various biochemical markers (glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, acetylcholinesterase, carboxylesterase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, Na+ K+ -adenosine triphosphatase [ATPase], Ca2+ -ATPase, Mg2+ -ATPase, and total ATPase). The median lethal concentrations (LC50s) of thiacloprid and trifloxystrobin were determined to be 3.41 and 0.09 mg a.i. L-1 , respectively. Tadpoles were exposed to the LC50, LC50/2, LC50/10, LC50/20, LC50/50, and LC50/100 of these pesticides. Both pesticides significantly affected (inhibited/activated) the biomarkers even at low concentrations. The pesticides showed a synergistic effect when applied as a mixture and altered the biomarkers more than when applied individually. In conclusion, we can assume that tadpoles are threatened by these pesticides even at environmentally relevant concentrations. Our findings provide important data to guide management of the ecotoxicological effects of these pesticides on nontarget amphibians. Environ Toxicol Chem 2021;40:2846-2860. © 2021 SETAC.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 27:35626-35637.

Abstract
Penconazole is one of the most widely used fungicides all over the world, and since it spreads to large environments, its toxic effects on non-target organisms are of great concern. The toxic effects of penconazole on crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus), which is a bioindicator in freshwater ecosystems and consumed economically, are not known. Therefore, in this study, the purpose was to contribute to the literature on the potential harmful effects of penconazole on a non-target species, Astacus leptodactylus. For this aim, the acute toxicity (96 h) of penconazole was examined. The 96-h LC50 value of penconazole was detected as 18.7 mg L-1. Four concentrations of penconazole (18.7 mg L-1, 9.35 mg L-1, 4.68 mg L-1, 2.34 mg L-1) were applied to crayfish for 96 h. The results showed that penconazole had destructive effects on esterase mechanisms by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and carboxylesterase (CaE) activities. Significant increases were observed in all antioxidant parameters (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione S-transferase (GST), reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA)) in all doses except the lowest concentration (2.34 mg L-1). All adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activities (Na+/K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase, total ATPase) had significant dose-related inhibition in both gill and muscle tissues. In summary, our findings show that acute penconazole administration to crayfish causes significant toxic effects on esterase, antioxidative parameters, and metabolic enzymes.

Abstract
Effects of the pyrethroid lambda-cyhalothrin (LCH) were investigated in matrinxa Brycon amazonicus, a non-target freshwater teleost. The fish were submitted to a single-pulse exposure (10% of LC50; 96 h, 0.65 μg L-1), followed by 7 days of recovery in clean water. Hematologic parameters indicated impairments in oxygen transport, which were not recovered. Plasma [Na+], [Cl-], and protein were diminished, and only [Na+] remained low after recovery. Gill Na+/K+ATPase activity was increased and recovered to basal values. Brain acetylcholinesterase activity was not responsive to LCH. Liver ascorbic acid concentration was not altered, and reduced glutathione levels remained augmented even after recovery. LCH inhibited hepatic superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities, while glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) activities were steady. After recovery, SOD remained low, and GPx was augmented. Liver depicted lipid peroxidation, which was not observed after recovery. Hepatic morphology was affected by LCH and was not completely recovered. These responses, combined with the persistence of changes even after recovery span, clearly show the feasibility of these biomarkers in evaluating LCH toxic potential to non-target organisms, highlighting the importance of pyrethroids' responsible use.

Abstract
The present research investigated the growth, blood, antioxidant response (liver), AChE (brain and muscle) and Na+/K + ATPase in gills of Clarias batrachus exposed to 0 (control), two insecticides, 1.65 mg L-1 chlorpyrifos (CPF) and 2.14 mg L-1 monocrotophos (MCP) for a fixed interval time of 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 days and follow up depuration process in fresh water for 30 days (at an interval of 7, 15 and 30 days). The toxicants exposed fish indicated significantly (P < 0.05) lower weight gain and HSI. The RBC, Hb, Hct, plasma total protein, glucose, albumin, globulin and respiratory burst activity was reduced. However, WBC, plasma glucose, serum creatinine, and triglycerides were enhanced. The weight gain, HSI and all haematological parameters were reversed following depuration of CPF and MCP exposed fish. Hepatic superoxide dismutase, catalase, lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione, and glutathione S-transferase activities were significantly activated whereas glutathione peroxidase was inhibited in both tested groups. All the antioxidant enzymes were reversed on day 15 in MCP concentration, whereas CPF on day 30 of depuration process. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (brain, muscle) and gill Na+/K + ATPase activities were more in CPF exposure and early recovery in MCP. The results indicated that depuration process might help in detoxification of fish and improve growth, haematological conditions, oxidative stress and AChE, Na+/K + ATPase activity. However, further studies are needed in different fish species with different toxicants to support this strategy of depuration process in order to detoxify polluted fish.

Abstract
Potassium cyanide, a highly contaminating and toxic aquatic ecosystems pollutant was investigated for acute toxicity on the freshwater fish Clariasgariepinus. Its effect on the Ca2+ -ATPase activities in the liver, gills, muscle and intestinal tissues and oxygen consumption index was studied. Short-term toxicity test was carried out by static renewal bioassay test over a 96 h period using a lethal concentration (LC50) value of 0.361mg/mL. Potassium cyanide was highly toxic to the animal tested. Results reveal that normal respiratory activity (O2 consumption) of the fish was significantly affected and there was significant decreased in the Ca2+ - ATPase activities at the end of exposure periods (24, 48, 72 and 96 h). Correlation analysis reveals a strong relationship between oxygen consumption index and ATPase enzyme activity of Clariasgariepinus exposed to the toxicant. This study reflects the toxic effect of potassium cyanide to the freshwater fish, Clariasgariepinus and suggestion on the possible application of Ca2+ -ATPase activities and oxygen consumption index as possible biomarkers for early detection of cyanide poisoning in aquatic bodies.
