Abstract
This study hypothesizes that micro and nanoparticles of metals from metallurgical atmospheric emissions can trigger sublethal effects on the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. We aimed to analyze cytotoxicity (Lysosomal Membrane Stability - LMS), Lipid peroxidation (LPO), genotoxicity (DNA strand break), and neurotoxicity (Acetylcholinesterase activity AChE) in shrimp exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations (0.001, 0.1, and 1.0 g.L−1) of settleable atmospheric particulate matter (SePM) for different times (T2, T4, T7, T15 and T30 days), and in several tissues (gills, hemolymph, muscle,e and hepatopancreas). LPO within the first 2 day, and LMS showed significant differences. From the seventh to the fifteenth day of exposure, the concentration of 0.1 g.L−1 exhibited significant effects. In the most extended exposure period (30 days), all concentrations triggered cytotoxicity effects on the Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Thus, exposure to SePM can impair essential cellular functions, denoting a pre-pathological status. These findings underscore the potential hazards of metallurgical SePM to estuarine and farmed shrimp populations, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and effective mitigation strategies to ensure aquaculture sustainability.
期刊介绍:
Aquatic Toxicology publishes significant contributions that increase the understanding of the impact of harmful substances (including natural and synthetic chemicals) on aquatic organisms and ecosystems.
Aquatic Toxicology considers both laboratory and field studies with a focus on marine/ freshwater environments. We strive to attract high quality original scientific papers, critical reviews and expert opinion papers in the following areas: Effects of harmful substances on molecular, cellular, sub-organismal, organismal, population, community, and ecosystem level; Toxic Mechanisms; Genetic disturbances, transgenerational effects, behavioral and adaptive responses; Impacts of harmful substances on structure, function of and services provided by aquatic ecosystems; Mixture toxicity assessment; Statistical approaches to predict exposure to and hazards of contaminants
The journal also considers manuscripts in other areas, such as the development of innovative concepts, approaches, and methodologies, which promote the wider application of toxicological datasets to the protection of aquatic environments and inform ecological risk assessments and decision making by relevant authorities.
