Effect of zinc and benzene on respiration and excretion of mussel larvae (Perna perna) (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mollusca; Bivalvia)

Abstract: The presence of pollutants in the ocean may affect different physiological parameters of animals. Oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion were evaluated in D-shaped larvae of mussels (Perna perna) exposed to zinc sulphate (ZnSO 4 ) and benzene (C 6 H 6 ). When compared to the control group, both pollutants presented a significant reduction in oxygen consumption. A reduction in the ammonia excretion was also observed, both for ZnSO 4 and C 6 H 6 and also in the oxygen consumption. The results indicate that ana… Show more

“…The O:N atomic ratio has been often used to indicate which substrate is catabolized for energy production (Carvalho and Phan, 1997;Comoglio et al, 2004;Lemos and Phan, 2001;Lemos et al, 2006;Jorge et al, 2007;Rocha et al, 2005), either from exogenous (food) or endogenous (body reserves) sources. Accordingly, the substrate predominantly catabolized by shrimp fed the Fish diet (O:N 16±5.2) was protein, most likely reflecting the protein-rich food source.…”

“…Crucially, the oxygen entering the epithelium cells is utilized in the very these cells. And it has been shown that the amount of oxygen consumed from the at-mosphere is almost equal to that consumed from water (kRogh 1941, Jones 1961, stadnYchenko 1990, 2013, JoRge et al 2007.…”
