Abstract
The aim of this work was to study the sublethal effects, biokinetics, subcellular partitioning and detoxification of arsenic in two native Chinses species, Bellamya quadrata and Cipangopaludina cathayensis, as well as an exotic South American species, Pomacea canaliculata. The exotic species exhibited higher tolerance than native species. Physiologically based pharmacokinetic model results showed that the exotic species P. canaliculata exhibited a lower bioaccumulation rate and a greater metabolism capacity of As. Subcellular partitioning of As revealed that P. canaliculata exhibits superior As tolerance compared to the native species B. quadrata and C. cathayensis. This is attributed to P. canaliculata effective management of the metal sensitive fraction and enhanced accumulation of As in the biologically detoxified metal fraction. Under As stress, the biochemical parameters (superoxide dismutase, malondialdehyde, glutathione and glutathione S-transferase) of the exotic species P. canaliculata changed less in the native species, and they returned to normal levels at the end of depuration period. Our study provides evidence of the superior survival capability of the exotic species P. canaliculata compared to the native species B. quadrata and C. cathayensis under environmentally relevant levels of As contamination.
