Abstract
The abundance of microplastics (MPs) in the gastrointestinal tract (GT), gills (GI), and exoskeleton (EX) of Litopenaeus vannamei shrimp cultured in a commercial indoor super-intensive controlled (ISCO) system was investigated. Shrimp of 25 days (postlarvae; PL25), and one, three, five, and seven culture months were analyzed. The postlarvae PL25 MP abundance per individual and gram of PL (wet weight) was 0.2 ± 0.0 MPs and 3.5 ± 0.5 MPs/g. For L. vannamei juveniles at one, three, five, and seven culture months, the MP abundance per juvenile shrimp was 10.0 ± 0.3, 27.2 ± 1.6, 32.3 ± 3.1, and 40.3 ± 3.6 MPs/individual, respectively (expressed in MPs/g of tissue were 1.6 ± 0.1, 2.0 ± 0.2, 2.0 ± 0.3 and 1.5 ± 0.2, respectively). Fibers were the most common MP type in all shrimp age classes (42.1-68.7 %), and the predominant color was transparent (46.1-65.0 %). The MP size in all shrimp stages ranged between 15 and 4686 μm. In general, the predominant polymers identified were PE (37.4 %), NY (21.1 %), and PET (18.5 %). The MP variability through the culture cycle showed that as the age of shrimp increased, and the culture advanced the MP abundance and size also augmented. Conversely, there is a higher MP abundance in L. vannamei cultured in ISCO systems compared to shrimp cultured in traditional semi-intensive and intensive ponds and those from wild environments. The latter is probably due to the extensive use of plasticized materials (geomembrane and greenhouse installations) and their degradation, which cause a greater MP exposure to shrimp. The estimated oral MP intake by ISCO shrimp consumption was 647 MPs/capita/year, which can be 178 % more than from wild shrimp.

Abstract
During January 2013, a mining spill occurred in the Santa Maria mining region, releasing around 300,000 m3 of tailings on Los Remedios river, which was transported through the San Lorenzo river and finally to El Comedero (EC) dam. Twenty months later, we examined the concentrations of Hg and Se in the muscle, liver, gills, and guts of three fish species (Cyprinus carpio, Oreochromis aureus, Micropterus salmoides) captured in the EC dam to assess the performance of the cleaning operations. A high Se concentration in the liver of all species (carp, 1.2 ± 0.4; tilapia, 3.9 ± 2.1; bass, 3.5 ± 1.1 µg g-1 ww) was consistently observed, while this behavior was only found in the blue tilapia for Hg (0.15 ± 0.11 µg g-1 ww). Tilapia (benthic-detritivorous) exhibited the highest Se concentrations compared to the carp (omnivore) and the largemouth bass (piscivore). In contrast, the largemouth bass had the highest Hg levels in the muscle compared with the other fishes. Such differences could be related to the different metabolism and feeding habits among species. Compared to a tilapia study carried out three months after the mine spill during a mortality event, a decrease was evident in the liver for Se and Hg by 7.2 and 4.7 times, respectively. This reveals that cleaning operations were more efficient for Se and less for Hg, and that a prolonged period was required for the partial recovery of the element levels in fish from sites impacted by mining. Considering the Mexican consumption scenarios for each fish species, it could be concluded that there will be no non-cancer risk by exposure to Hg or Se.

Abstract
Data regarding the effects of binary metal mixtures in marine zooplankton are scarce, particularly for rotifers. We examined the toxicity of 21 binary equitoxic mixtures of As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Pb, and Zn on the euryhaline rotifer Proales similis. The toxic units (TU50) revealed that 20 of these binary mixtures exhibited synergistic effects (TU50 < 1.00). The AsHg mixture showed a strong antagonistic effect (TU50 = 2.39), whereas the HgCu interaction exhibited a significant synergistic effect (TU50 = 0.29) on P. similis. TU50 values were <0.60 in all cases that showed synergism (80 %). Regarding the MIXTOX analysis, 13 binary mixtures presented some level of synergism, while two mixtures presented only additivity. Results emphasize the need for environmental agencies to revise and readjust protection guidelines for marine biota in response to the evident synergistic effects occurring at metal mixtures concentrations below the current permissible limits.

Abstract
Microplastic (MPs) pollution studies in the coastal environment are increasing, as observed in the growing number of documents published yearly. However, studies regarding the combined effect of MPs and heavy metal (HMs) pollution are scarce, particularly in marine biota. Microplastics and HMs were investigated in the exoskeleton (EX), gills (GI), gastrointestinal tract (GT), and muscle (MU) of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei from the Santa María-La Reforma (SAMARE) lagoon, Mexico. Results showed that shrimp ingest mainly MPs of the fiber type (74.7%) and fragments (22.7%). The most frequent MP colors in the four tissues were transparent (61.4%-72.2%) and blue (3.2-36.4%) fibers. Microplastic abundance in the four tissues was 5.5 ± 0.5 MPs per individual. The predominant polymers found in most tissues were cotton and synthetic polyethylene-terephthalate (PET). Heavy metals exhibited wide variability depending on the tissue and metal; the highest Cu concentration in the GI was 138 ± 16 μg/g, while the highest Cd value was 0.40 ± 0.11 μg/g, Ni was 17.0 ± 8.3 μg/g, and Zn was 120 ± 18 μg/g in the GT. The relationship between MPs and HMs was significant and positive (p < 0.05) between MPs and Zn in the GI. This reveals a possible MPs-Zn interaction due to cotton and PET reactivity or is related to polymer manufacture. This study implies that an essential part of the world fisheries is a potential route for MPs and HMs. The problem is exacerbated due to the consumption of whole shrimp tissues consumed by humans. Considering Mexican shrimp consumption, and MPs in this study, the estimated intake was 594 MPs/capita/year. Future research requires MP monitoring in coastal lagoons that support wildlife and important fisheries and assess their effects combined with HMs.

Abstract
The effects of salinity on the accumulation and toxicity of microplastics (MPs) in mangrove invertebrates are still scarcely described. We assessed the accumulation and osmoregulatory toxicity of the estuarine fiddler crab Minuca rapax, exposed to 25 mg L-1 of high-density polyethylene MPs at three combinations of osmotic media (hypo- 6, iso- 25, or hyper-35 psu), in 1, 3 and 5 days of exposure. Gills accumulated more MPs than the digestive tract (DT) and muscle. MP accumulation in the gills and DT was enhanced at 6 psu and reduced at 21 and 35 psu after 1 day of exposure. Muscle MP accumulation was not affected by salinity or exposure time. Osmotic regulation was unaffected by MP exposure in any exposure time. Our findings demonstrate that M. rapax accumulates MPs in gills and DT depending on the salinity and that MPs are not osmoregulatory toxicant for this species.

Abstract
The failure of a tailings dam occurred in January 2013 at the Santa María de Otáez mining region (Mexico) released a spill (~ 300,000 m3) on Los Remedios River, which was transported through the San Lorenzo River, and finally to El Comedero (EC) dam. The concentrations of metal(loid)s in the muscle, liver, gills, and guts of three fish species (Cyprinus carpio, Oreochromis aureus, Micropterus salmoides) collected from EC dam were examined twenty months later to assess the performance of the cleaning operations. The bioaccumulation patterns of the metal(loid)s in the tissues were different in the three fish species. Tilapia had the highest Cd (11.23 ± 8.53 µg g-1) and Cu (871 ± 1261 µg g-1) concentrations in the liver, as well as As concentration (83.6 ± 61.7 µg g-1) in the gut, while the highest Zn concentration (745 ± 356 µg g-1) was measured in the gills of the carp. Such variability can be caused by the variant bioavailability of the metal(loid)s and by the feeding habits of each species; and also by the fact that some metals are essential and better regulated by organisms than other non-essential. Compared to a study of tilapia carried out 90 days after mine spill, a decrease was evident in the liver for As, Cd, Cu, and Zn by 129, 5, 10, and 1.7 times, respectively. This revealed that cleaning operations were more efficient for As. The target hazard quotient and the hazard index were < 1, which indicates there will be no risk of consuming muscle in moderated rations of the three fish species.

Abstract
In this study, the concentration of six metal(loid)s was examined in the fish Oreochromis aureus collected from El Comedero dam during a massive mortality event induced by a mine tailing spill. A major spill (~ 300,000 m3) of waste was released into the San Lorenzo River System following a rupture in the tailing dam of a mining plant in NW Mexico; consequently, the discharged material flowed into El Comedero dam. The accumulation of metal(oid)s in the tissues of O. aureus showed higher levels in the liver than in the guts and muscle. Concentrations in the liver were high (As, 1.1-1063; Cd, 8.9-392; Cu, 372-59,129; Hg, 0.46-19.79; Se, 8.7-748; and Zn, 116-820 μg g-1), revealing that these fish were exposed to high concentrations of these elements. The mortality of fish could have resulted from the combined effect of the six analyzed metal(loid)s, as well as other residues present in mine tailings.

Abstract
We identified and characterized microplastics (MPs) in the gastrointestinal tract (GT), gills (GI), and exoskeleton (EX) of Litopenaeus vannamei in a coastal lagoon from the SE Gulf of California. The most common MPs were fibers and fragments with an average size of 403 ± 296 μm, in which the transparent and blue colors predominated. The abundance (items/g as wet weight (ww)) in the GT, GI, and EX was 114.7 ± 33.2, 13.7 ± 5.3 and 3.0 ± 0.5, respectively. The abundance of MPs per shrimp was 13.3 ± 1.1, while the abundance per individual (ww) was 0.9 ± 0.2 MPs/g. Considering the consumption of shrimp in Mexico, MP abundance, and shrimp consumption (discarding GI and EX), we estimated MP ingestion as 280 items/person/year. The results from this study can be used as background information for future MP biomonitoring in shrimp species of ecological and commercial importance.

Abstract
Fiddler crabs are known as "eco-engineers" who maintain habitat health through sediment bioturbation. They regularly interact with microplastics (MPs) due to their contact with the sediment. In this study we compared MPs concentration between burrows and pellets resulting from bioturbation, and MPs bioaccumulation in the soft tissues of Minuca rapax (Smith, 1870), along a gradient of urbanization in Isla del Carmen, southern Gulf of Mexico. Overall, MPs shape and color in the pellets and in the tissues reflected those of the burrow's sediments. MPs were more abundant and diverse in burrows (9 ± 12 MPs.g-1) than in pellets (5 ± 5 MPs.g-1) or in the soft tissues (1.3 ± 1.2 MPs.g-1). Bioturbation can concentrate MPs in pellets and tissues, depending on the MPs contamination and urbanization level. M. rapax is an important structuring agent of sedimentary MPs, showing a strong top-down translocation of MPs in subtropical tidal flats.

Abstract
The omnipresence of microplastics (MPs) in marine and coastal environments has attracted attention owing to their effects on various organisms, including humans. We present the first study of MPs in the gastrointestinal tract (GT), gills (GI), and exoskeleton (EX) of the farmed whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei from commercial aquaculture facilities in northwestern Mexico that have operated semi-intensively for the last two decades. We found that the number of MP items per tissue was 7.6 ± 0.6 in the GT, 6.3 ± 0.9 in the GI, and 4.3 ± 0.9 in the EX, with an average of 18.5 ± 1.2 MP items per shrimp (1.06 items/g, wet weight [ww]). MP concentrations were 261.7 ± 84.5, 13.1 ± 1.8, and 2.6 ± 0.6 items/g (ww) in the GT, GI, and EX, respectively. Microplastics ranged from 30 to 2800 μm in size (360 ± 39 μm) with fibers (∼90.8%), filament-shape (∼93.4%), and transparent (∼47.7%) being the most common ones. Polyethylene (∼54.5%) and polyamide (∼24.2%) were the most commonly identified polymers, although polyesters (∼12.1%), polystyrene (∼6.1%), and nylon (∼3.0%) were also found. The abundance of MPs in farmed L. vannamei may be related to their feeding habits and the availability of MP sources in aquaculture facilities.

Abstract
One contemporary issue is how environmental pollution and climate can affect the dissemination and severity of COVID-19 in humans. We documented the first case of association between particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) and COVID-19 mortality rates that involved rural and medium-sized municipalities in northwestern Mexico, where direct air quality monitoring is absent. Alternatively, anthropogenic PM2.5 emissions were used to estimate the PM2.5 exposure in each municipality using two scenarios: 1) considering the fraction derived from combustion of vehicle fuel; and 2) the one derived from modeled anthropogenic sources. This study provides insights to better understand and face future pandemics by examining the relation between PM2.5 pollution and COVID-19 mortality considering the population density and the wind speed. The main findings are: (i) municipalities with high PM2.5 emissions and high population density have a higher COVID-19 mortality rate; (ii) the exceptionally high COVID-19 mortality rates of the rural municipalities could be associated to dust events, which are common in these regions where soils without vegetation are dominant; and (iii) the influence of wind speed on COVID-19 mortality rate was evidenced only in municipalities with <100 inhabitants per km2. These results confirm the suggestion that high levels of air pollutants associated with high population density and an elevated frequency of dust events may promote an extended prevalence and severity of viral particles in the polluted air of urban, suburban, and rural communities. This supports an additional means of dissemination of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, in addition to the direct human-to-human transmission.

Abstract
Juveniles of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (3.3 ± 0.4 g) were exposed separately to nitrite (0.0, 1.1, 2.6, and 5.3 mg/L nitrogen as nitrite [NO2--N]) and nitrate (0, 90, 225 and 400 mg/L nitrogen as nitrate [NO3--N]) concentrations equivalent to 0, 10, 25, and 50% of the LC50-96 h value of NO2--N and NO3--N in low salinity water (3 g/L). Shrimps responded to nitrite and nitrate according to changes in oxyhemocyanin, glucose, lactate and ion levels in the hemolymph after 6, 12, 24, and 48 h of exposure. Oxyhemocyanin levels decreased with increasing nitrite and nitrate levels and were higher at 50% exposure to the contaminants. Compared to the control, glucose and lactate increased significantly at 50% exposure to nitrite and nitrate, particularly at 12 and 24 h. Na+ in the hemolymph changed with nitrite and nitrate, while K+ only changed ˜with nitrite.

Abstract
This research was to evaluate the load and mobility of Cu in juvenile Litopenaeus vannamei after exposure (48 h) to sublethal concentration of nitrite (5.3 mg/L NO2--N) at a salinity of 3.0 g/L. The hypothesis is that such exposure causes a Cu mobility in the tissues of shrimp. The Cu concentration in exoskeleton, hepatopancreas, muscle and hemolymph in the control group were 38.9 ± 3.0, 2478 ± 256, 11.9 ± 0.2 µg/g (dw) and 95.4 ± 19.1 µg/mL, while in the nitrite exposure, were 46.0 ± 0.1, 1546 ± 173, 11.3 ± 0.3 µg/g (dw) and 118.2 ± 10.5 µg/mL, respectively. Only hepatopancreas exhibited a significant (p < 0.05) reduction (37.6%) between the control and the nitrite exposure. This is evidence that nitrite has a significant effect on Cu accumulation in hepatopancreas when shrimp are exposed to sublethal levels in a salinity of 3 g/L. Results confirm the hypothesis that Cu mobility was only significant in hepatopancreas.

Abstract
Information on toxicity of nitrogen compounds for Litopenaeus vannamei in coastal ecosystems and culture under low salinity is scarce. Acute toxicity trials were conducted in L. vannamei to determine the single and combined effects of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate at a salinity of 3 g/L. The 96 h-LC50 was 29.0 mg/L for total ammonia nitrogen (TAN); 10.6 mg/L for nitrogen as nitrite (NO2--N); and 900 mg/L for nitrogen as nitrate (NO3--N). The joint effects of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate exposure were antagonistic at 24-72 h; and additive from 72 to 96 h. The proposed safety levels of single exposure to TAN, NO2--N and NO3--N for L. vannamei are 1.45, 0.53 and 45.0 mg/L, respectively. When in mixture, the proposed level of TAN/NO2--N/NO3--N is 0.05 TU (Toxicity Unit) corresponding to 0.48, 0.08 and 14.6 mg/L of TAN, NO2--N and NO3--N, respectively.

Abstract
Shrimp farming in low salinities waters is an alternative to increasing production, and counteracting disease problems in brackish and marine waters. However, in low-salinity waters, toxicity of nitrogen compounds increases, and there is no available data of its acute toxicity in shrimp postlarvae. This study determined the acute toxicity of ammonia, nitrite and nitrate in Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae in 1 and 3 g/L salinity, as well as the safety levels. The LC50 confirms that nitrite is more toxic than ammonia and nitrate in low salinity waters, and that its toxicity increases with a decrease in salinity. The safe levels estimated for salinities of 1 and 3 g/L were 0.54 and 0.81 mg/L for total ammonia-N, 0.17 and 0.25 mg/L for NO2-N, and 5.6 and 21.5 mg/L for NO3-N, respectively.

Abstract
This study evaluated the suitability of 21 inland waters (16 well waters and 5 surface waters) from Northwest Mexico via short- (48 h) and medium-term (28 days) tests using postlarvae (PL18) of Litopenaeus vannamei. In the short test, survival was assessed at 48 h after shrimp were placed in groups of 10 postlarvae into 2-L containers of inland water, to which they had been previously acclimated. The second, medium-term test consisted of four replicates with 10 postlarvae, and each group was placed in 15-L containers with the treatment water. Weights (initial and final) and survival were evaluated weekly for 28 days. In those waters for which the short test was positive and the medium-term test was negative and which also had a deficiency of potassium and/or magnesium, a third test was conducted. These last waters were supplemented with salts, and the shrimp survival and weights (initial and final) were recorded for 28 days. The water samples from San Jose, Mochicahui, Sinaloa River, Caimanero inner Lagoon, La Pipima, Campo Santa Fe, Escopama, and Fitmar had >60% survival in the short test. The Caimanero inner Lagoon water had the highest survival (87.5 ± 9.6%) and final mean weight (201.3 ± 86.2 mg). In the third test, it was found that shrimp in the water from La Pipima, Campo Santa Fe, and Fitmar exhibited 100% survival for 2 weeks. Finally, in this work, a decision tree to evaluate the suitability of low-salinity water for shrimp farming was proposed, which can be applied in other regions.
