Abstract
Gonadal development is a prerequisite for the reproductive success of an organism, and might be affected by environmental factors such as emergent pollutants. Although marine crustaceans are threatened by ubiquitous emergent pollutants such as microplastics (MPs) and bisphenol A (BPA) under realistic scenarios, studies about the impacts of these pollutants on the gonadal development of crustacean species are rare. In this study, the effects of MPs and BPA, alone or in combination, on gonadal development were investigated in whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The results obtained demonstrated that whiteleg shrimp exposed to MPs and BPA had significantly smaller gonad-somatic index (GSI) and an obvious delay in the gonad developmental stage. In addition, exposure of whiteleg shrimp to pollutants tested resulted in a reduction in the oxygen consumption rate, elevation in the ammonia excretion rate, decline in the O: N ratio, and downregulation in the expression of metabolism-related genes, indicating significant disruptions of shrimp metabolism by the pollutants. Furthermore, in addition to a few exceptions, both the in vivo contents of gonadal development-related hormones (GIH and MIH) and the expression of genes encoding regulatory hormones (GIH, MIH, and CHH) were upregulated by the exposure of whiteleg shrimp to the pollutants investigated, suggesting a significant obstruction of endocrine regulation. Moreover, MP-BPA coexposure was shown to be more toxic to whiteleg shrimp than the corresponding single exposures and significantly greater amount of BPA accumulated in the gonads (both testis and ovaries) of shrimp with the coexistence of MPs, which may be caused by the Trojan horse effect and summation of the toxic impacts on common targets. In general, the data obtained in this study demonstrated that MPs and BPA at environmentally realistic concentrations significantly inhibited the gonadal development of whiteleg shrimp probably by interfering with metabolism and disrupting endocrine regulation.

Comparative role of microplastics and microalgae as vectors for chlorpyrifos bioacumulation and related physiological and immune effects in mussels. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 807:150983. [PMID: 34678373 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.150983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
Microplastics (MP) are contaminants of concern per se, and also by their capacity to sorb dissolved chemicals from seawater, acting as vehicles for their transfer into marine organisms. Still, the role of MP as vehicles for contaminants and their associated toxicological effects have been poorly investigated. In this work we have compared the role of MP (high density polyethylene, HDPE, ≤22 μm) and of natural organic particles (microalgae, MA) as vehicle for chlorpyrifos (CPF), one of the most common pesticides found in river and coastal waters. We have compared the capacity of MP and MA to carry CPF. Then, the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis has been exposed for 21 days to dissolved CPF, and to the same amount of CPF loaded onto MP and MA. The concentration of CPF in mussel' tissues and several physiological, energetics and immune parameters have been analyzed after 7 and 21 days of exposure. Results showed similar CPF accumulation in mussel exposed to MP and to MA spiked with CPF. This revealed that MP acted as vector for CPF in a similar way (or even to a lesser extent) than MA. After 21 days of exposure mussels exposed to MP spiked with CPF displayed similar or more pronounced biological effects than mussels exposed to dissolved CPF or to MA loaded with CPF. This suggested that the combined "particle" and "organic contaminant" effect produced an alteration on the biological responses greater than that produced by each stressor alone, although this was evident only after 3 weeks of exposure.

Abstract
Diuron herbicide is widely used for weeds control in many kinds of cultivations. It reaches the waterbodies through various fate routes and can adversely threaten non-target organism. The current study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Spirulina as feed additive against the toxicity of Diuron concentrations (40 and 80 µg/L) on the edible mollusk Mytilus galloprovincialis during seven days of exposure. Oxidative stress biomarkers were applied on mussel gills and digestive gland, investigating changes in enzymes activities such as catalase (CAT), Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and the Malondialdehyde level (MDA). The obtained results show that diuron altered oxidative stress biomarkers in both organs, gills and digestive gland. Performed principle component analysis (PCA) highlighted relationship between biomarkers involved in functional response. Spirulina platensis supplemented diet (1 mg/L), completely ameliorated diuron-induced oxidative stress in mussel tissues. Thus, Spirulina seems to be a promising microalgae and eco-friendly tool helping the health recovery of aquatic animals subjected to environmental stressors.

Abstract
Pesticides play an important role in promoting agricultural development, while their unreasonable use has led to environmental problems. Chlorpyrifos (CPF), a typical organophosphate pesticide, is used globally as an insecticide in agriculture. The extensive application of CPF has resulted in water contamination, and CPF has been detected in rivers, lakes, seawater, and even in rain. In the present review, CPF was selected due to its extensive use in agriculture and higher detection rate in surface waters. In this review we summarised the evidence related to CPF pollution and focused on discussing the ecotoxicity of CPF to aquatic systems and revealed the mechanism of action of CPF. The aim of this literature review was to summarise the knowledge of the toxicity to marine and freshwater organisms of CPF as well as try to select a series of sensitive biomarkers, which are suitable for ecotoxicological assessment and environmental monitoring in aquatic systems.

Abstract
Environmental effects associated with the release of various metals even at maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) to the aquatic ecosystems are evident. In the present work, time-dependent increase in accumulated metals amount in gills of Anodonta cygnea after exposure to complex metal (Zn 0.1, Cu 0.01, Ni 0.01, Cr 0.01, Pb 0.005, and Cd 0.005 mg/L, MPC accepted for the inland waters in EU) mixture at various time points (1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28 days) was investigated. Statistically significant increase of Cu and Cd was determined in mussel's gills after 7-day exposure, in comparison to control group; moreover, significantly elevated concentration of Cu was measured and after 14-day treatment (in comparison to control and pre-exposure group). Concentrations of five (Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, and Cd) out of 6 investigated metals were statistically increased in gills tissue after 28-day treatment. Moreover, complex metal mixture has demonstrated tissue- and time-dependent genotoxicity (∑Gentox) and cytotoxicity (∑Cytox) responses in mussels. After 4-day exposure, there were found the highest ∑Gentox levels in gills cells and haemocytes. Two-day treatment of mussels resulted in the highest and statistically significant induction of ∑Cytox level (in gills). Furthermore, after short-term (4 days) exposure, statistically significant inhibition of AChE activity in hemolymph of metal mixture-exposed mussels, in comparison to control and pre-exposure group, was found. Comparison of investigated responses in different tissue of A. cygnea discloses new information about metal mixture (at MPC) impacts at different treatment time. According to the obtained geno- and cytotoxicity data, it is suggested that gills are more sensitive tissue. Environmentally relevant trace metal concentrations when existing in mixture are able to cause adverse effects in A. cygnea; therefore, biological effects at different levels of organism are expected as a realistic scenario.

Abstract
This study investigated metal accumulation and oxidative effects in mantle, gill and digestive gland of the ribbed mussel Aulacomya atra from the Argentinean North Patagonian coastline. Mussels were transplanted over an 18-month period from a site with low anthropogenic impact to a harbor site with higher seawater concentration of aluminum, chromium, copper, manganese, nickel and zinc. Total trace metal concentration in seawater did not change throughout the 18-month transplant in either site. A. atra bioaccumulated metals in digestive gland, gills and mantle at different levels. Digestive gland had the highest concentration of metals, especially towards the end of the transplant experiment in the harbor area. Mussels transplanted to the harbor site experienced an upregulation in their antioxidant system, which likely explains the lack of oxidative damage to lipids despite higher metal accumulation. These results demonstrate that A. atra selectively accumulates metals from the water column and their prooxidant effects depend on the tissue antioxidant defenses and the exposure time.
