Unraveling the depuration mechanisms of metals in the burrowing crab (Neohelice granulata Dana, 1852): Biochemical biomarkers, metal-rich granules and bioaccumulation patterns. MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2023; 196:115638.

Abstract
We studied the depuration mechanisms of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn, Ni, Cr, Fe) in Neohelice granulata, from sites with different human impacts (PC, a more impacted site and VM, a less impacted one). Our objectives included assessing metal concentrations (essential and non-essential) before and after depuration treatment, evaluating biochemical biomarkers (non-enzymatic and enzymatic) pre and post-treatment, and determining the role of metal-rich granules (MRG) in depuration. We observed variability in metals and biomarkers post-depuration, with no significant differences observed in PC, while Cd and Mn increased and Ni, Cu, and Fe decreased in VM. Integrated biomarkers' response indicated the prevailing antioxidant capacity in depurated organisms. Lipid peroxidation changes were insignificant, except in depurated-VM where values increased. MRG showed a significant decrease only for Mn and Fe, suggesting they were not the primary depuration structure. We concluded that depuration might depend on the species, gender and contamination history.

Abstract
Micropollutants are regularly detected at the outlets of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Across urban and industrial WWTPs, monitoring directives only require assessment for a handful of chemicals via sampling methods that fail to capture the temporal variability in micropollutant discharge. In this study, we develop a biotest for real-time on-line monitoring of micropollutant discharge dynamics in WWTPs effluents. The selected biomonitoring device ToxMate uses videotracking of invertebrate movement, which was used to deduce avoidance behaviour of the amphipod Gammarus fossarum. Organism conditioning was set up to induce a state of minimal locomotor activity in basal conditions to maximise avoidance signal sensitivity to micropollutant spikes. We showed that with a standardised protocol, it was possible to minimise both overall movement and sensitivity to physio-chemical variations typical to WWTP effluents, as well as capture the spikes of two micropollutants upon exposure (copper and methomyl). Spikes in avoidance behaviour were consistently seen for the two chemicals, as well as a strong correlation between avoidance intensity and spiked concentration. A two-year effluent monitoring case study also illustrates how this biomonitoring method is suitable for real-time on-site monitoring, and shows a promising non-targeted approach for characterising complex micropollutant discharge variability at WWTP effluents, which today remains poorly understood.

Eagon L, Zou E. Zinc is incorporated into the exoskeleton during post-ecdysial mineralization and inhibits exoskeletal calcification in the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. AQUATIC TOXICOLOGY (AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS) 2023; 261:106642. [PMID: 37527597 DOI: 10.1016/j.aquatox.2023.106642] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Revised: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/03/2023]
Abstract
Zinc is an essential but toxic metal with both natural and anthropogenic sources. Zinc has been reported to be present in crustacean exoskeleton, but it has remained unknown as to when zinc is incorporated into the shell during the molting cycle and the effects zinc has on exoskeleton properties. This study was conducted to identify a period during the molting cycle, in which zinc is incorporated into the exoskeleton of the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, and to identify deleterious effects of zinc incorporation on the exoskeleton. It was hypothesized that zinc would be incorporated into the shell during the mineralization phase using calcium transporters, which would inhibit exoskeletal calcification. Post-ecdysial blue crabs were given two injections of zinc in the form of zinc chloride dissolved in Pantin's crustacean saline at the arthrodial membrane at three treatment levels: 0.0, 1.0 and 5.0 µg Zn/g wet weight. Exoskeletal and hemolymph samples were then analyzed for zinc, calcium, and magnesium content. Gill, muscle, and hepatopancreas samples were analyzed for zinc only. Epidermis samples were analyzed for carbonic anhydrase activity. The results showed that the injection dose of 1.0 µg Zn/g wet weight resulted in significant accumulation of zinc in the exoskeleton. There was no significant accumulation of exoskeletal zinc following 5.0 µg Zn/g wet weight injections. A significant reduction in exoskeletal calcium content in crabs treated with 1.0 or 5.0 µg Zn/g wet weight was also observed. The hypothetical model explaining zinc's incorporation into the exoskeleton and inhibition of exoskeletal calcification is proposed. Additionally, for the soft tissues examined, significant zinc accumulation was only observed in the hepatopancreas following zinc treatment. Our data points to the existence of crustacean zinc transporter. This study is the first to present evidence that zinc is deposited to the exoskeleton during post-ecdysial mineralization and inhibits exoskeletal calcification in a crustacean.

MARINE POLLUTION BULLETIN 2023; 191:114959. [PMID: 37146547 DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2023.114959] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/14/2023] [Indexed: 05/07/2023]
Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) and metalloid occur naturally and are found throughout the Earth's crust but they are discharged into aquatic environments at high concentrations by human activities, increasing heavy metal pollution. HMs can bioaccumulate in higher organisms through the food web and consequently affect humans. In an aquatic environment, various HMs mixtures can be present. Furthermore, HMs adsorb on other environmental pollutants, such as microplastics and persistent organic pollutants, causing a synergistic or antagonistic effect on aquatic organisms. Therefore, to understand the biological and physiological effects of HMs on aquatic organisms, it is important to evaluate the effects of exposure to combinations of complex HM mixtures and/or pollutants and other environmental factors. Aquatic invertebrates occupy an important niche in the aquatic food chain as the main energy link between higher and lower organisms. The distribution of heavy metals and the resulting toxic effects in aquatic invertebrates have been extensively studied, but few reports have dealt with the relationship between HMs, pollutants, and environmental factors in biological systems with regard to biological availability and toxicity. This review describes the overall properties of individual HM and their effects on aquatic invertebrates and comprehensively reviews physiological and biochemical endpoints in aquatic invertebrates depending on interactions among HMs, other pollutants, and environmental factors.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution can adversely impact marine life, such as crabs, which can accumulate it in different organs and potentially transfer and biomagnify along the food chain in aquatic ecosystems. This study aimed to examine the concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in sediment, water, and crab tissues (gills, hepatopancreas, and carapace) of the blue swimmer crab Portunus pelagicus in the coastal areas of Kuwait, northwestern Arabian Gulf. Samples were collected from Shuwaikh Port, Shuaiba Port, and Al-Khiran areas. The accumulation of metals in crabs were higher in the carapace > gill > digestive gland, and the highest metal concentration was found in crabs collected from Shuwaikh > Shuaiba > Al-Khiran. The metal concentrations in the sediments were in the order Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd. Zn was the highest metal concentration detected in marine water sampled from the Al-Khiran Area, whereas the lowest metal was Cd sampled in water from the Shuwaikh Area. The results of this study validate the marine crab P. pelagicus as a relevant sentinel and prospective bioindicator for evaluating heavy metal pollution in marine ecosystems.

Abstract
The 96-h acute toxicity of barium (Ba2+ ), o-cresol, and sodium chloride (NaCl) to Paratya australiensis was assessed in single, binary, and ternary combinations in addition to three biochemical assays: glutathione S-transferase, acetylcholinesterase, and sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphatase. The 96-h lethal concentrations that expressed 50% mortality (LC50) in the single-toxicant exposures were Ba2+ = 23.4 mg/L, o-cresol = 12.2 mg/L, and NaCl = 4198 mg/L. Mortality from o-cresol exposure occurred between 11 and 22 mg/L, whereas Ba2+ was more gradual across 10-105 mg/L, and most of the NaCl mortality occurred between 2050 and 4100 mg/L. Toxic units were used to assess the binary and ternary interactions of the toxicants. A more than additive effect was observed for most combinations in the binary chemical exposures, with the ternary combinations yielding highly synergistic interactions. Greater synergism was observed with the 96-h LC50 of o-cresol in combination with the three concentrations of NaCl (1025, 2050, and 3075 mg/L) compared with Ba2+ , with toxic units of 0.38, 0.48, and 0.10 (o-cresol) and 0.71, 0.67, and 0.50 (Ba2+ ). No notable enzyme activity trends were observed in the enzyme biomarker responses from both individual and mixture exposures. Although acute single-species toxicity tests tend to underestimate the effects of Ba2+ , o-cresol, and NaCl on populations, communities, and ecosystems in seminatural (e.g., mesocosms) and natural systems, there are currently no published acute toxicity data available for P. australiensis and the three toxicants used in the present study. The present study shows that chemicals with different toxicity mechanisms can potentially lead to more synergistic responses. Environ Toxicol Chem 2023;42:481-494. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
Zinc (Zn) is necessary for the survival of aquatic organisms; nevertheless, the accumulation of Zn in excessive amounts may have toxic consequences. Few studies focusing on the biochemical, morphological, and transcriptional effects of aqueous Zn in Litopenaeus vannamei have been reported, and the underlying toxic mechanism remains largely unknown. The present study was performed to investigate the growth performance, morphological alterations, physiological changes, and transcriptional responses after Zn exposure at 0 (control), 0.01, 0.1, and 1 mg/L concentrations for 30 days in white shrimp L. vannamei hepatopancreas. The results found that survival rate (SR) and growth performance were significantly reduced in 1 mg/L Zn group. Significant structural damage and significant Zn accumulation in hepatopancreas were observed. The activities of trypsin and amylase (AMS), and the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were attenuated, while the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA) content were significantly increased after Zn exposure. Many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained after Zn exposure, and the majority of these DEGs were downregulated. Ten DEGs involved in oxidative stress, immunological response, apoptosis, and other processes were selected for qRT-PCR validation and the expression profiles of these DEGs kept well consistent with the transcriptome data, which confirmed the accuracy and reliability of the transcriptome results. Subsequently, we screened 12 genes to examine the changes of expression in different concentrations in more detail. All the results implying that Zn exposure caused severe histopathological changes and increased Zn accumulation in hepatopancreas, altered immune, antioxidant and detoxifying response by regulating the gene expressions of related genes, and eventually might trigger apoptosis. These findings provide valuable information and a new perspective on the molecular toxicity of crustaceans in response to environmental heavy metal exposure.

Abstract
One of the best approaches for improving the assessment of metal toxicity in aquatic organisms is to study their organotropism (i.e., the distribution of metals among organs) through a dynamical approach (i.e., via kinetic experiments of metal bioaccumulation), to identify the tissues/organs that play a key role in metal regulation (e.g., storage or excretion). This study aims at comparing the organ-specific metal accumulation of a non-essential (Cd) and an essential metal (Zn), at their environmentally relevant exposure concentrations, in the gammarid Gammarus fossarum. Gammarids were exposed for 7 days to 109Cd- or 65Zn-radiolabeled water at a concentration of 52.1 and 416 ng.L-1 (stable equivalent), respectively, and then placed in clean water for 21 days. At different time intervals, the target organs (i.e., caeca, cephalons, intestines, gills, and remaining tissues) were collected and 109Cd or 65Zn contents were quantified by gamma-spectrometry. A one-compartment toxicokinetic (TK) model was fitted by Bayesian inference to each organ/metal dataset in order to establish TK parameters. Our results indicate: i) a contrasting distribution pattern of concentrations at the end of the accumulation phase (7th day): gills > caeca ≈ intestines > cephalons > remaining tissues for Cd and intestines > caeca > gills > cephalons > remaining tissues for Zn; ii) a slower elimination of Cd than of Zn by all organs, especially in the gills in which the Cd concentration remained constant during the 21-day depuration phase, whereas Zn concentrations decreased sharply in all organs after 24 h in the depuration phase; iii) a major role of intestines in the uptake of waterborne Cd and Zn at environmentally relevant concentrations.

Sensing Cd(II) Using a Disposable Optical Sensor Based on a Schiff Base Immobilisation on a Polymer-Inclusion Membrane. Applications in Water and Art Paint Samples. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13244414.

Abstract
A disposable colour-changeable optical sensor based on an interesting polymer inclusion-membrane (PIM) was designed to determine Cd(II) ions in aqueous medium. The Schiff base 2-acetylpyridine benzoylhydrazone (2-APBH) immobilised on the polymer membrane was used as a sensing molecule. The amounts of the PIM components were optimised by a 32 fractional factorial design with two central points and two blocks. The best optical sensor composition consisted of 2.5 g of poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) as a base polymer, 3 mL of tributyl phosphate (TBP) as a plasticiser, and 0.02 g of 2-APBH as a reagent. The sensor showed a good linear response in the range from 0.02 mg L−1 (limit of detection) to 1 mg L−1 of Cd(II) under the following experimental conditions: pH 9.5 (adjusted using ammonium chloride buffer solution at 0.337 mol L−1), 60 min of exposure time plus 2 min of sonication (pulses at 2 s intervals), and 10 min of short-term stability. The relative standard deviation of the method was determined to be 4.04% for 0.4 mg L−1 of Cd(II). The optical sensor was successfully applied to the determination of Cd(II) in natural-water and art-paint samples.

Abstract
The use of freshwater invertebrates for biomonitoring has been increasing for several decades, but little is known about relations between external exposure concentration of metals and their biodistribution among different tissues. One and multi-compartments toxicokinetic (TK) models are powerful tools to formalize and predict how a contaminant is bioaccumulated. The aim of this study is to develop modeling approaches to improve knowledge on dynamic of accumulation and fate of Cd and Hg in gammarid's organs. Gammarids were exposed to dissolved metals (11.1 ± 1.2 µg.L-1 of Cd or 0.27 ± 0.13 µg.L-1 of Hg) before a depuration phase. At each sampling days, their organs (caeca, cephalon, intestine and remaining tissues) were separated by dissection before analyses. Results allowed us to determine that i) G.fossarum takes up Cd as efficiently as the mussel M.galloprovincialis, but eliminates it more rapidly, ii) organs which accumulate and depurate the most, in terms of concentrations, are caeca and intestine for both metals; iii) the one-compartment TK models is the most relevant for Hg, while the multi-compartments TK model allows a better fit to Cd data, demonstrating dynamic transfer of Cd among organs.

Abstract
Bioaccumulation studies of Zn and 137Cs by the horse mussel (Modiolus micropterus) were conducted in a laboratory that used radiotracer. The study has been carried out on the effect of cesium and zinc concentrations and the effect of sea seawater salinity on the ability of M. micropterus to accumulate these two contaminants. The uptake of Zn and Cs according to the one-compartment model and the experiment was carried out until the steady-state conditions were reached. The concentration factor at steady-state Zn is 31.94-45.54 mL. g-1 and 23.22-33.26 mL. g-1 which are influenced by the concentration and salinity of seawater, respectively. The concentration factor of 137Cs at steady-state conditions due to changes in concentration and salinity is 3.34-7.55 mL. g-1 and 4.23-9.66 mL. g-1, respectively. The release rates of Zn were 30-47 % and 39-49 % at various concentrations and salinity. The depuration rate from concentration reaching 60 % and salinity at ranges 43-52 % was observed within 10 days after exposure. On the other hand, the release rates of 137Cs were 60 % and 43-52 % at various changes in the concentration and salinity of seawater.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 772:145042. [PMID: 33581533 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.145042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2020] [Revised: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Metals introduced into the urban aquatic environment through anthropogenic activities have the potential to accumulate in organisms via multiple uptake routes. Understanding the impact different routes have on metal accumulation is important for the continued management of these ecosystems, where current water quality guidelines (WQGs) tend to be derived from aqueous metal exposure tests. In this study, the estuarine fish Pseudogobius sp. was exposed to a mixture of cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) radiotracers dissolved in water or present in experimental food. Metal-spiked food was presented to fish as a single 'pulse-chase' feed or as three consecutive feeds, where the cumulative metal dose provided by both treatments was equal. Fish did not accumulate either metal from water, even after the length of exposure was increased from 12 h to 36 h. Fish did accumulate metals from diet and the assimilation efficiency (AE) was low following a single feed (12% for both Cd and Zn). Following multiple feeds fish displayed a significantly higher AE for zinc only, suggesting that fish are susceptible to retention of dietary Zn over an extended time period albeit at lower daily loadings. The final body burden and efflux rate did not differ between feeding regimes. Tissue accumulation of Cd and Zn indicated metal specific distribution. The gastro-intestinal (GI) tract contained >90% of total Cd body burden, whilst the carcass accounted for the majority (70-88%) of Zn body burden. There was significant induction of the biomarker metallothionein (MT) in the GI tract. These results demonstrate the differences in Cd and Zn metal uptake characteristics in this estuarine fish species, and how feeding frequency and metal loading of food may influence assimilation. This study highlights the importance of considering the inclusion of dietary exposures in WQG frameworks.
