Xing YY, Pu XM, Pan JF, Xu JY, Liu C, Lu DC. From antioxidant defense to genotoxicity: Deciphering the tissue-specific impact of AgNPs on marine clam Ruditapes philippinarum. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2024; 270:106883. [PMID: 38503038 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2024.106883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024]
Abstract
The escalating use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) across various sectors for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial capabilities, has raised concern over their potential ecotoxicological effects on aquatic life. This study explores the impact of AgNPs (50 μg/L) on the marine clam Ruditapes philippinarum, with a particular focus on its gills and digestive glands. We adopted an integrated approach that combined in vivo exposure, biochemical assays, and transcriptomic analysis to evaluate the toxicity of AgNPs. The results revealed substantial accumulation of AgNPs in the gills and digestive glands of R. philippinarum, resulting in oxidative stress and DNA damage, with the gills showing more severe oxidative damage. Transcriptomic analysis further highlights an adaptive up-regulation of peroxisome-related genes in the gills responding to AgNP-induxed oxidative stress. Additionally, there was a noteworthy enrichment of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in key biological processes, including ion binding, NF-kappa B signaling and cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism of xenobiotics. These insights elucidate the toxicological mechanisms of AgNPs to R. philippinarum, emphasizing the gill as a potential sensitive organ for monitoring emerging nanopollutants. Overall, this study significantly advances our understanding of the mechanisms driving nanoparticle-induced stress responses in bivalves and lays the groundwork for future investigations into preventing and treating such pollutants in aquaculture.

Lin Y, Wang J, He S, Yan H, Chen Q. Antioxidant response to ZnO nanoparticles in juvenile Takifugu obscurus: protective effects of salinity. ECOTOXICOLOGY (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2024; 33:85-93.

Abstract
The extensive utilization of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) has garnered significant attention due to their detrimental impacts on ecosystem. Unfortunately, ecotoxicity of ZnO NPs in coastal waters with fluctuating salinity has been disregarded. This study mainly discussed the toxic effects of ZnO NPs on species inhabiting the transition zones between freshwater and brackish water, who are of great ecological and economic importance among fish. To serve as the model organism, Takifugu obscurus, a juvenile euryhaline fish, was exposed to different ZnO NPs concentrations (0-200 mg/L) and salinity levels (0 and 15 ppt). The results showed that a moderate increase in salinity (15 ppt) could alleviate the toxic effect of ZnO NPs, as evidenced by improved survival rates. The integrated biomarker response index on oxidative stress also revealed that the toxicity of ZnO NPs was higher in freshwater compared to brackish water. These outcomes can be attributed to higher salinity (15 ppt) reducing the bioavailability of ZnO NPs by facilitating their aggregation and inhibiting the release of metal ions. It is noteworthy that elevated salinity was found to alleviate ZnO NPs toxicity by means of osmotic adjustment via the activation of Na+/K+-ATPase activity. This study demonstrates the salinity-dependent effect of ZnO NPs on T. obscurus, suggesting the possibility for euryhaline fish like T. obscurus to adapt their habitat towards more saline environments, under constant exposure to ZnO NPs.

Abstract
Fish primary cell culture has emerged as a valuable tool for investigating the physiological roles and responses of various cell types found in fish species. This review aims to provide an overview of the advancements and applications of fish primary cell culture techniques, focusing on the profiling of physiological roles exhibited by fish cells in vitro. Fish primary cell culture involves the isolation and cultivation of cells directly derived from fish tissues, maintaining their functional characteristics and enabling researchers to study their behavior and responses under controlled conditions. Over the years, significant progress has been made in optimizing the culture conditions, establishing standardized protocols, and improving the characterization techniques for fish primary cell cultures. The review highlights the diverse cell types that have been successfully cultured from different fish species, including gonad cells, pituitary cells, muscle cells, hepatocytes, kidney and immune cells, adipocyte cells and myeloid cells, brain cells, primary fin cells, gill cells, and other cells. Each cell type exhibits distinct physiological functions, contributing to vital processes such as metabolism, tissue regeneration, immune response, and toxin metabolism. Furthermore, this paper explores the pivotal role of fish primary cell culture in elucidating the mechanisms underlying various physiological processes. Researchers have utilized fish primary cell cultures to study the effects of environmental factors, toxins, pathogens, and pharmaceutical compounds on cellular functions, providing valuable insights into fish health, disease pathogenesis, and drug development. The paper also discusses the application of fish primary cell cultures in aquaculture research, particularly in investigating fish growth, nutrition, reproduction, and stress responses. By mimicking the in vivo conditions in vitro, primary cell culture has proven instrumental in identifying key factors influencing fish health and performance, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable aquaculture practices.

The Effect of Silver Nanoparticles on the Digestive System, Gonad Morphology, and Physiology of Butterfly Splitfin ( Ameca splendens). Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:14598.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on the morphology and enzymatic activity of butterfly splitfin (Ameca splendens). Individuals of both sexes, aged about five months, were exposed to AgNPs at concentrations of 0 (control group), 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 mg/dm3 for 42 days. On the last day of the experiment, the fish were euthanized, subjected to standard histological processing (anterior intestine, liver, and gonads), and analysed for digestive enzyme activity in the anterior intestine and oxidative stress markers in the liver. Fish in the AgNP 0.01 and 0.1 groups had the lowest anterior intestinal fold and enterocyte height. However, there were no statistically significant changes in the digestive enzyme activity in the anterior intestine. Analysis of enzymatic activity in the liver showed an increase in superoxide dismutase activity in fish in the AgNP 0.1 group. Histological analyses showed that AgNPs inhibited meiotic divisions at prophase I in a non-linear manner in ovaries and testes. In the AgNP 0.1 and 1.0 groups, the area occupied by spermatocytes was lower compared to the other groups. These results indicate that exposure to AgNPs may lead to disturbances in morphology and enzymatic activity in the liver and intestine and may lead to disruption of reproduction in populations.

Exposure to copper nanoparticles or copper sulfate dysregulated the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadalaxis, gonadal histology, and metabolites in Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 457:131719.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of chronic exposure to copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) and waterborne copper (CuSO4) on the reproductive system of yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco). Juvenile yellow catfish were exposed to 100 and 200 μg Cu/L Cu-NPs and 100 μg Cu/L CuSO4 for 42 days. The results showed clear reproductive defects in both female and male yellow catfish in the 200 μg Cu/L Cu-NPs and 100 μg Cu/L CuSO4 groups. Exposure to Cu-NPs or CuSO4 inhibited folliculogenesis and vitellogenesis in the ovaries, and spermatogenesis in the testes, accompanied by elevation of the apoptotic signal. Ultrastructural observations also revealed damaged organelles of gonadal cells in both testes and ovaries. Most of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis genes examined and serum sex steroid hormones tended to be downregulated after Cu exposure. Metabolomic analysis suggested that gonadal estradiol level is sensitive to Cu-NPs or CuSO4. The heat map of gonadal metabolomics suggested a similar effect of 200 μg Cu/L Cu-NPs and 100 μg Cu/L CuSO4 in both the ovaries and testes. Additionally, metabolomics data showed that the reproductive toxicity due to Cu-NPs and CuSO4 may occur via different metabolic pathways. Cu-NPs tend to dysregulate the metabolic pathways of sphingolipid and linoleic acid metabolism in the ovary and the biosynthesis of amino acids and pantothenate and CoA in the testis. Overall, these findings revealed the toxicological effects of Cu-NPs and CuSO4 on the HPG axis and gonadal metabolism in yellow catfish.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are found in open waters, but the effect of their low concentrations on an organism’s homeostasis is not fully understood. The aim of the study was to determine the short-term exposure effects of AgNPs coated by PvP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) on the homeostasis of livers and gonads in zebrafish. Sexually mature zebrafish were exposed for seven days to silver ions (0.01 mg/dm3) or AgNPs (0.01; 0.05; 0.1; 0.5; 1.0 mg/dm3). On the last day, the liver, testes, and ovaries were subjected to a histology analysis. In the liver, we analyzed the expression of the cat, gpx1a, gsr, sod1, and cyp1a genes. On the last day of the experiment, the lowest survival rate was found in the AgNPs 0.05 mg/dm3 group. The histological analysis showed that AgNPs and silver ions cause an increase in the area of hepatocytes. The highest proliferation index of hepatocytes was found in the AgNP 0.05 mg/dm3 group. Furthermore, AgNPs were found to interfere with spermatogenesis and oogonesis as well as reduce the expression levels of the cat, gpx1a, and sod1 genes in the liver compared with the control group. Based on the results, it can be concluded that exposure to AgNPs causes cytotoxic changes in zebrafish, activates the immune system, negatively affects the process of meiosis in the gonads, and generates oxidative stress.

Abstract
The size of nanoparticles is about 1-100 nm. People are exposed to nanoparticles in environmental pollutants from ancient times to the present. With the maturity of nanotechnology in the past two decades, the production of manufactured nanomaterials is rapidly increasing and they are used in a wide range of aerospace, medicine, food, and industrial applications. However, both natural and manufactured nanomaterials have been proved to pose a threat to diverse organs and systems. The endocrine system is critical to maintaining homeostasis. Endocrine disorders are associated with many diseases, including cancer, reduced fertility, and metabolic diseases. Therefore, we review the literatures dealing with the endocrine toxicity of nanomaterial. This review provides an exhaustive description of toxic effects of several common nanomaterials in the endocrine system; more involved are reproductive endocrinology. Then physicochemical factors that determine the endocrine toxicity of nanomaterials are discussed. Furthermore, oxidative stress, changes in steroid production and metabolic enzymes, organelle disruption, and alterations in signal pathways are introduced as potential mechanisms that may cause changes in hormone levels. Finally, we suggest that a risk assessment of endocrine toxicity based on standard procedures and consideration of endocrine disrupting effects of nanomaterials in the field and its environmental and population effects could be future research directions for endocrine toxicity of nanomaterials.

Abstract
The ovary is a highly important organ for female reproduction. The main functions include sex steroid hormone synthesis, follicular development, and achievement of oocyte meiotic and development competence for proper fertilization. Nanoparticle (NP) exposure is becoming unavoidable because of its wide use in different products, including cosmetics, food, health, and personal care products. Studies examining different nonreproductive tissues or systems have shown that characteristics such as the size, shape, core material, agglomeration, and dissolution influence the effects of NPs. However, most studies evaluating NP-mediated reproductive toxicity have paid little or no attention to the influence of the physicochemical characteristics of NP on the observed effects. As accumulating evidence indicates that NP may reach the ovary to impair proper functions, this review summarizes the available data on NP accumulation in ovarian tissue, as well as data describing toxicity to ovarian functions, including sex steroid hormone production, follicular development, oocyte quality, and fertility. Due to their toxicological relevance, this review also describes the main physicochemical characteristics involved in NP toxicity and the importance of considering NP physicochemical characteristics as factors influencing the ovarian toxicity of NPs. Finally, this review summarizes the main mechanisms of toxicity described in ovarian cells.

Cell death is the process that regulates homeostasis and biochemical changes in healthy cells. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) act as powerful cell death inducers through the disruption of cellular signalling functions. In this study, embryonic zebrafish cells (ZF4) were used as a potential early-stage aquatic model to evaluate the molecular and cell death mechanisms implicated in the toxicity of AgNPs and Ag+. Here, a low, medium, and high concentration (2.5, 5, and 10 μg mL-1) of three different sizes of AgNPs (10, 30 and 100 nm) and ionic Ag+ (1, 1.5 and 2 μg mL-1) were used to investigate whether the size of the nanomaterial, ionic form, and mass concentration were related to the activation of particular cell death mechanisms and/or induction of different signalling pathways. Changes in the physicochemical properties of the AgNPs were also assessed in the presence of complex medium (cell culture) and reference testing medium (ultra-pure water). Results demonstrated that AgNPs underwent dissolution, as well as changes in hydrodynamic size, zeta potential and polydispersity index in both tested media depending on particle size and concentration. Similarly, exposure dose played a key role in regulating the different cell death modalities (apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy), and the signalling pathways (repair mechanisms) in cells that were activated in the attempt to overcome the induced damage. This study contributes to the 3Rs initiative to replace, reduce and refine animal experimentation through the use of alternative models for nanomaterials assessment.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of prenatal exposure to AgNPs obtained by green synthesis with Viburnum opulus L. extract on the testis in male offspring rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two different doses of AgNPs (0.8 and 1.5 mg/kg b.w.) and vehicle (PBS) were administered to Wistar female rats on days 3-14 of gestation. At 6 weeks after birth, the ultrastructural changes in correlation with the amount of silver as well as the parameters of oxidative stress, inflammation and cell death mechanisms in the testis of male offspring were evaluated. RESULTS AgNPs administered during pregnancy crossed the placental and testicular barriers and induced oxidative stress, DNA damage and autophagy as mechanism of cell toxicity. The markers of inflammation and apoptosis decreased after AgNPs exposure while the NFkB activation increased. TEM examination revealed important ultrastructural changes of Sertoli cells, numerous vacuoles and cytoplasmic changes suggestive of the cell's evolution towards necrosis. CONCLUSION Phytoreduced silver nanoparticles with polyphenols from Viburnum opulus L. fruit extract, administered during the embryological development of the male gonad, have testicular toxic effects in offspring even at 6 weeks after birth.

Abstract
Many types of nanocomposites employed in food packaging are based on silver nanoparticles (AgNP) because of their antibacterial properties, which can increase food shelf-life. As the commercialization of AgNP products has been expanding, the released of such nanoparticles in the environment has caused enormous concern, once they can pose potential risks to the environment and human beings. For instance, exposure of the maternal environment to nanomaterials during pregnancy may impact the health of the dam, fetus and offspring. In this context, here we investigated the effects of prenatal exposure of AgNP on the pregnancy outcomes of dams and postnatal development of their offspring. Pregnant Wistar rats were exposed to distinct AgNP concentrations (0, 1, 3 and 5 μg/kg/day) from beginning to the end of pregnancy. At parturition, newborns were observed regarding clinical signs of toxicity and survival rate. The offspring was examined by evaluating developmental endpoints. A delay in time for vaginal opening and testes descent were detected in the offspring exposed to AgNP during embryonic development. Our results indicate that prenatal exposure to AgNP can compromise neonatal rats' postnatal development, especially the reproductive features.

Abstract
The increasing production and use of nanoparticles (NP) have raised concerns regarding the potential
toxicity to human and environmental health. In this review, we address the up to date information on nanotoxicity
using fish as models. Firstly, we carried out a systematic literature search (articles published up to February 2019
in the Scopus database) in order to quantitatively assess the scientific research on nanoparticles, nanotoxicity and
fish. Next, we carried out a narrative synthesis on the main factors and mechanisms involved in NP toxicity in
fish. According to the bibliometric analysis, there is a low contribution of scientific research on nanotoxicity
compared with the general nanoparticles scientific production. The literature search also showed that silver and
titanium NP are the most studied nanomaterials and Danio rerio is the fish species most used. In comparison with
freshwater fish, the effects of nanomaterials on marine fish have been little studied. After a non-systematic literature
analysis, we identified several factors involved in nanotoxicity, as well as the effects and main toxicity
mechanisms of NP on fish. Finally, we highlighted the knowledge gaps and the need for future research.

Efficacy of nanoencapsulated pelargonidin in ameliorating pesticide toxicity in fish and L6 cells: Modulation of oxidative stress and signalling cascade. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2019; 671:466-473.

Abstract
Removal of bio-accumulated pesticides in edible fish is a global problem. In this study, we tested protective capability of a phytochemical pelargonidin-loaded non-toxic, biodegradable poly-lactide-co-glycolide nano-particles (NPG) against toxicity induced by a pesticide cypermethrin (CM) in a fish model (Oreochromis mossambica) in vivo and also in L6 muscle cell line, in vitro. First we assessed potential sustainable release of nanoparticles following oral administration of NPG to fish, their ability to cross sub-cellular membranes in several tissues and efficacy to cross blood-brain-barrier. Next, protective ability of NPG, if any, against CM in fish was evaluated deploying parameters like % cell viability, DNA damage in muscle cells and modulation of anti-oxidative-enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase and lipid peroxidase. Modulation of reactive oxygen species generation, nuclear condensation and alteration in stress related protein signalling cascade were assessed in L6 cells. Results revealed that NPG had nano-size range (~10-12 nm) and negative zeta potential (-17 mV). Bioavailability and distribution of NPG could be followed by spectrophotometric absorbance of pelargonidin at 293 nm from 6 h onward till 24 h in all important tissues including the brain. Thus, 0.5 mg/g b.w. NPG could demonstrate protective ability in CM-intoxicated fish muscle cells in respect of % cell viability, DNA damage and stress related enzymes. Similar alterations could also be found in signalling protein cascade in L6 cells in response to treatment of 5 μg/ml NPG against CM-induced toxicity and depletion of overall ROS generation and nuclear condensation. Therefore, NPG could be used as a potential drug in management of pesticide toxicity in cultured edible fish.

Abstract
Cadmium (chemical symbol, Cd) is an extremely common pollutant that poses a toxicity threat to organisms. Therefore, we tested Drosophila melanogaster fecundity, Cd accumulation, and activity of two enzymes following Cd stress and used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to quantify the mRNA expression levels of several genes involved in fecundity and defence. D. melanogaster was placed in a medium containing different concentrations of Cd (13, 26, and 52 mg L-1), following which, inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy showed that Cd accumulation in Drosophila increased with the increase in its dietary intake. We also observed that Cd at these concentrations significantly prolonged the mating latency in females and reduced the number of eggs laid. However, the same Cd concentrations did not affect male fecundity. Acetylcholinesterase activity was only detected at 52 mg L-1 Cd in both sexes, whereas glutathione S-transferase activity was inhibited at 26 and 52 mg L-1 Cd in females. The results of qPCR indicated that exposure to 13-52 mg L-1 Cd affected the expression of reproduction-related genes, including downregulation of enok and upregulation of dally and dpp. The same level of exposure also induced transcriptional responses from three defence-related genes (hsp70, gstd2, and gstd6). Taken together, the results revealed that Cd exposure might negatively affect the expression of genes associated with D. melanogaster reproduction and trigger the transcription of defence-related genes. We suggest that further analyses of fecundity and defence responses may help develop indicators of Cd toxicity and improve our understanding of antitoxin defences.

Abstract
With the vigorous development of nanometer-sized materials, nanoproducts are becoming widely used in all aspects of life. In medicine, nanoparticles (NPs) can be used as nanoscopic drug carriers and for nanoimaging technologies. Thus, substantial attention has been paid to the potential risks of NPs. Previous studies have shown that numerous types of NPs are able to pass certain biological barriers and exert toxic effects on crucial organs, such as the brain, liver, and kidney. Only recently, attention has been directed toward the reproductive toxicity of nanomaterials. NPs can pass through the blood–testis barrier, placental barrier, and epithelial barrier, which protect reproductive tissues, and then accumulate in reproductive organs. NP accumulation damages organs (testis, epididymis, ovary, and uterus) by destroying Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and germ cells, causing reproductive organ dysfunction that adversely affects sperm quality, quantity, morphology, and motility or reduces the number of mature oocytes and disrupts primary and secondary follicular development. In addition, NPs can disrupt the levels of secreted hormones, causing changes in sexual behavior. However, the current review primarily examines toxicological phenomena. The molecular mechanisms involved in NP toxicity to the reproductive system are not fully understood, but possible mechanisms include oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation, and genotoxicity. Previous studies have shown that NPs can increase inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis and induce ROS, causing damage at the molecular and genetic levels which results in cytotoxicity. This review provides an understanding of the applications and toxicological effects of NPs on the reproductive system.

Abstract
Most studies investigating the toxicity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) focused on the effect of size, whereas exposure concentration and duration remained poorly understood. In this study, the effect of acute and sub-acute exposures of ZnO NPs on Zn compartmentalization and biomarkers' expression were investigated in Rutilus rutilus caspicus (Caspian roach) considering various exposure scenarios: i) the assessment of the concentration-response curves and median lethal concentration (LC50); ii) the assessment of the effects of organisms exposed at LC50 value and one tenth of LC50 value of ZnO NPs suspensions for 4 d and 28 d, respectively; iii) the assessment of 14 d depuration period. The same concentrations of ZnSO4 were investigated. The highest Zn accumulation was detected in gill after sub-acute exposure (4.8 mg/L; 28 d) followed by liver, kidney and muscle. In gill, liver and muscle, Zn from Zn NPs accumulated higher concentrations. Depuration (14 d) decreased Zn content in each organ, but no complete removal occurred except for muscle. Biomarkers' activity was significantly over expressed after treatments, but depuration brought back their values to background levels and most effects were related to acute concentrations (48 mg/L; 4 d) and in presence of ZnSO4. Histopathological analyses showed that the exposure to ZnO NPs increased lesions in gill, liver and kidney, with a direct proportionality between alterations and Zn accumulated in the target organs. After depuration, lesions regressed for both ZnO NPs and ZnSO4, but not in a complete way. These data could contribute to increase the knowledge about ZnO NPs risk assessment in aquatic vertebrates, suggesting that the size of ZnO NPs can influence biomarker and histopathological effects.

Abstract
The increasing use of nanomaterials has naturally caused heightened concerns about their potential risks to human and animal health. We investigated the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) on steroidogenesis in the corpus luteum (CL) of pregnant mice and testis of male offspring. Pregnant albino mice were exposed to ZnO NPs and MSN for 2 days on alternate days, gestation days 15–19. Hepatic injury marker enzymes increased in the higher concentration of NM-exposed mother mice, but histological examination revealed no changes in the placenta of pregnant mice, whereas testis of male offspring showed gross pathological changes. The expression pattern of progesterone biosynthesis-related genes was also altered in the CL of NP-exposed pregnant mice. In utero exposure of ZnO NPs increased the relative expression of StAR in 100 mg/kg body weight (BW) ZnO NP-treated and bulk ZnO-treated groups and P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme (P450scc) in 50 mg/kg BW ZnO NP-treated and 100 mg/kg of bulk ZnO-treated male offspring. Serum testosterone concentration significantly increased in the 100 mg/kg of bulk ZnO-treated group and decreased in the 250 mg/kg of MSN-treated group and a single dose of 300 mg/Kg BW of ZnO NPs caused miscarriages and adversely affected the developing foetus in mice.

Abstract
Marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma) is considered to be a useful fish model for marine and estuarine ecotoxicology studies and has good potential for field-based population genomics because of its geographical distribution in Asian estuarine and coastal areas. In this study, we present the first whole-genome draft of O. melastigma. The genome assembly consists of 8,602 scaffolds (N50 = 23.737 Mb) and a total genome length of 779.4 Mb. A total of 23,528 genes were predicted, and 12,670 gene families shared with three teleost species (Japanese medaka, mangrove killifish and zebrafish) were identified. Genome analyses revealed that the O. melastigma genome is highly heterozygous and contains a large number of repeat sequences. This assembly represents a useful genomic resource for fish scientists.

Abstract
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of toxicity of silver nanoparticles (NPs) and their toxicity to fish embryos after waterborne exposure have been widely investigated, but much less information is available regarding the effect of Ag NPs on physiological functions such as growth or reproduction. In this work, the effects of waterborne exposure of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) to PVP/PEI coated Ag NPs (~5nm) on reproduction (fecundity) were investigated. Moreover, the development of the embryos after parental exposure was compared with the development of embryos after direct waterborne exposure to the NPs. For this, two experiments were run: 1) embryos from unexposed parents were treated for 5days with Ag NPs (10μgAgL-1-10mgAgL-1) and development was monitored, and 2) selected breeding zebrafish were exposed for 3weeks to 100ngAgL-1 (environmentally relevant concentration) or to 10μgAgL-1 of Ag NPs, fecundity was scored and development of resulting embryos was monitored up to 5days. Waterborne exposure of embryos to Ag NPs resulted in being highly toxic (LC50 at 120h=50μgAgL-1), causing 100% mortality during the first 24h of exposure at 0.1mgAgL-1. Exposure of adults, even at the environmentally relevant silver concentration, caused a significant reduction of fecundity by the second week of treatment and resulting embryos showed a higher prevalence of malformations than control embryos. Exposed adult females presented higher prevalence of vacuolization in the liver. These results show that Ag NPs at an environmentally relevant concentration are able to affect population level parameters in zebrafish.

Abstract
In recent years, the marine medaka (Oryzias melastigma), also known as the Indian medaka or brackish medaka, has been recognized as a model fish species for ecotoxicology and environmental research in the Asian region. O. melastigma has several promising features for research, which include a short generation period (3-4 months), daily spawning, small size (3-4 cm), transparent embryos, sexual dimorphism, and ease of mass culture in the laboratory. There have been extensive transcriptome and genome studies on the marine medaka in the past decade. Such omics data can be useful in understanding the signal transduction pathways of small teleosts in response to environmental stressors. An omics-integrated approach in the study of the marine medaka is important for strengthening its role as a small fish model for marine environmental studies. In this review, we present current omics information about the marine medaka and discuss its potential applications in the study of various molecular pathways that can be targets of marine environmental stressors, such as chemical pollutants. We believe that this review will encourage the use of this small fish as a model species in marine environmental research.
