Abstract Bardawil Lake is a unique aquatic ecosystem that provides habitat for various fish and other marine organisms. This study aimed to analyze the quality of species prove this lake free pollution, not Egyptian lakes, due accumulation some heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) in tissues were caught from lake. Thirty-five samples during Spring 2018 seven different species: Mugil cephalus, Liza auratus, Sparus aurata, Dicentrarchus labrax, Siganus rivulatus, Anguilla angilla, Solae solea . The Association Official Analytical Chemists methods using spectrophotometer determined biochemical composition. In contrast, atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) was employed determine expressed by µg/g wet weight. Results exposed essential micronutrient (Cu, content higher than toxic elements (Cd & Pb) muscles order Zn > Cu Pb Cd.

Published: Sept. 2, 2022

Pesticides are well known for their high levels of persistence and ubiquity in the environment, because capacity to bioaccumulate disrupt food chain, they pose a risk animals humans. With focus on organophosphate triazine pesticides, present review aims describe current state knowledge regarding spatial distribution, bioaccumulation, mode action frequently used pesticides. We discuss processes by which pesticides active residues accumulated bioconcentrated fish, as toxic mechanisms involved, including biological redox activity, immunotoxicity, neuroendocrine disorders, cytotoxicity, is manifested oxidative stress, lysosomal mitochondrial damage, inflammation, apoptosis/autophagy. also explore potential research strategies close gaps our understanding toxicity environmental assessment

The aim of this study was to estimate the fish quality in terms Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn contents. research material muscle tissue crucian carp (Carassius carassius Linnaeus, 1758), flounder (Platichthys flesus Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata mackerel (Scomber scombrus Blue grenadier (Macruronus novaezelandiae Hector, 1871), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792), tench (Tinca tinca tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus Pallas, 1814) perch (Perca fluviatilis 1758.). Heavy metals were determined with atomic absorption spectrometry method (AAS). Significantly high concentrations zinc (19.52 mg/kg wet weight), copper (0.77 mg/kg) iron (6.95 found muscles (p < 0.05) compared other studied, whereas had a higher content manganese (0.266 0.05). All studied species do not pose threat humans from these four metals.

Subchronic Exposure to Polystyrene Microplastic Differently Affects Redox Balance in the Anterior and Posterior Intestine of Sparus aurata

Animals, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(4), P. 606 - 606

Published: Feb. 9, 2023

Microplastics (MPs) are pollutants widely distributed in aquatic ecosystems. MPs introduced mainly by ingestion acting locally or organs far from the gastroenteric tract. MPs-induced health consequences for fish species still need to be fully understood. We aimed investigate effects of subchronic oral exposure polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) (1-20 μm) gilthead seabreams (Sparus aurata) used as experimental model. studied detrimental impact PS-MPs (25 and 250 mg/kg b.w./day) on redox balance antioxidant status intestine using histological analysis molecular techniques. The research goal was examine anterior (AI) posterior (PI) tracts, characterized morphological functional differences. caused an increase reactive oxygen nitrosylated proteins both well augmented malondialdehyde production PI. also differently affected gene expression enzymes (i.e., superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione reductase). Moreover, increased up-regulation protective heat shock (HSPs) hsp70 hsp90) observed Our findings demonstrate that responsible oxidative/nitrosative stress alterations detoxifying defense system responses with differences AI PI seabreams.

Assessment of the exposure of two pesticides on common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758): Are the prolonged biomarker responses adaptive or destructive?

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C Toxicology & Pharmacology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 261, P. 109446 - 109446

Published: Aug. 24, 2022

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) and cypermethrin (CYP) are two insecticides that have a proven negative effect on non-target aquatic organisms when they enter the surface waters. However, literature comparative effects of these pesticides important aquaculture fish species, such as common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) is not yet scientifically detailed, especially over long-term. The idea conducting long-term exposure to find out how observed biomarkers would change compared short-term exposure. In natural environment, toxicants present alone, but in combination. By monitoring impact individual substances, state ecosystems exposed various could be predicted. Thus, this study aimed evaluate toxicity different concentrations CYP (0.0002, 0.0003, 0.0006 μg/L) CPF (0.03, 0.05, 0.10 50-L glass tanks C. carpio, for 30 days under laboratory conditions. A set histological biochemical gills liver were applied with chemical analyses water organs. Furthermore, condition hepatosomatic index calculated assess physiological status treated carps. behavioral responses also monitored, respiration rate was analyzed. results suggest had more prominent structure organs, anti-oxidant enzymes, behavior, CPF. addition, indicate susceptible chronic chemically induced cellular stress gills, overall destructive changes rather than adaptive. Regardless scenario, our provide novel insights into pesticide possible biological impacts economically freshwater fish, lower concentrations, based EU legislation (maximum allowable MAC-EQS).

Water, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 15(3), P. 543 - 543

Published: Jan. 30, 2023

The widespread use of pesticides leads to the contamination groundwater, which harms environment and threatens life. goal current study was determine degree pesticide groundwater in agricultural regions with varying degrees use. In 15 districts Punjab province Pakistan, chemical residues major groups including, neonicotinoids, organophosphates, carbamates pyrethroids were detected water samples. Two most commonly used herbicides, isoproturan diuron, also tested but not any Five southern Punjab/core area had highly contaminated due presence from all insecticide groups. Although less severe than core area, a different set five central significant issues. located marginal lowest amount residues. highest levels imidacloprid identified throughout winter season. Thiacloprid, fipronil, acetamiprid nearly samples, non-significant differences concentrations summer seasons, as well non-core areas. Different quality parameters pH, electrical conductivity temperature correlations Overall, it is concerning that insecticides are widely contaminating groundwater. This issue should be managed through integrated pest management, non-chemical control strategies, judicious practices.
