“…There are reports demonstrate that temperature, salinity, pH and oxygen may cause developmental anomalies (Westernhagen, 1988;Gercken et al, 2006;Arbuatti et al, 2011). However, we did not observe significantly different or anomalous conditions of environmental variables at critical stations (St-9, 10 and 13).…”

“…However, we did not observe significantly different or anomalous conditions of environmental variables at critical stations (St-9, 10 and 13). On the other hand, the oxygen values were significantly lower than overall mean at St-9 and 10; however, they are higher than 2mg/l which is critical biological limit for normal embryonic development of fishes given by Westernhagen et al (1988), Westernhagen (1988) and the references therein. It is considered that, mentioned arguments decreased the possibility of the oxygen was a main stressor on the anomalous occurrences.…”

“…Heavy metals and especially Cadmium (Cd) are among the important sources of developmental defects in fish embryos (Westernhagen, 1988). Mulayim et al (2012) noted that anthropogenic originated Cd, Pb and Hg values in surface sediments of Bandırma Bay is higher than the average and particularly the area is defined as considerable contaminated by Cadmium.…”

“…The presence of a stressor during development may be related to the increasing rate of embryonic malformation regardless of the malformation type (Westernhagen, 1988). Numerous studies have shown temperature and salinity out of the species specific optimal range (Westernhagen, 1988), thermal shocks (Owusu-Frimpong and Hargreaves, 2000), hypoxic conditions (Gercken et al, 2006), extreme pH (Arbuatti et al, 2011), chemical compounds such as triphenyltin (Zhang et al, 2008), heavy metals (Jezierska et al, 2009) and aromatic, chlorinated and petroleum hydrocarbons (Westernhagen, 1988) may cause polyembriyony in fish eggs.…”

Conjoined twinning is a rarely existed gross malformation in natural conditions. The term refers to the two individuals united at any part of their bodies. The extraordinary incidences of conjoined twinning cases may reflect important problems on the marine environment. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to report the incidences of Trachurus mediterraneus conjoined twins in Bandırma Bay, Southern Marmara Sea and to discuss the possible causes of them to derive new research questions. Four polyembryonic individuals were collected from three stations of Bandırma Bay Ichthyoplankton Survey in June 2012. The anomalous individuals were observed at the stations, St-9, 10 and 13 (Critical Stations). St-9 was at about 20m depth contour between Karşıyaka town and Dalyan village in western coasts of bay. St-10 and 13 was off Yenice village at about 10 and 30m depth contours respectively in the eastern coasts of the bay. The surface temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH of critical stations were seemed to be normal. Therefore the pollution was considered as the most possible reason of these incidences.

Effects of 2 h pulse-exposure of cadmium or zinc on early life stages of Australian crimson ( ) spotted rainbow fish Melanotaenia fluviatilis were investigated. Ages of embryos used in experiments were 3, 46, and 92 h old. Measured end points included percentage hatch, day of hatch, larval survival time, and spinal deformities. There was a significant concentration-response of both metals on percentage hatch and spinal deformities. The 3-h-old embryos had highest percentage of deformities with 27% for embryos pulse-exposed to both 3.3 mg/ L of cadmium and 33.3 mg/ L of zinc. Cadmium 2 h peLC50 Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Aquatic herbicides are commonly used to control a wide variety of algae and plants, but they also have the potential to contaminate and affect nontarget organisms. However, the impacts of low-level 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide exposure on larval fish are not well understood. We conducted a series of experiments to determine the effects of low concentrations (0.05, 0.50, and 2.00 ppm) of 2 commercial 2,4-D amine salt herbicide formulations (Weedestroy® AM40 [WAM40] and DMA® 4 IVM [DMA4]) and pure 2,4-D on the development and survival of fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) at various life cycle stages. Larval survival (30 d post hatch [dph]) was decreased following exposure of eggs and larvae to pure 2,4-D (0.50 ppm; p ≤ 0.001), as well as to WAM40 (0.50 and 2.00 ppm; p ≤ 0.001, p ≤ 0.001) and DMA4 (0.50 and 2.00 ppm; p ≤ 0.001, p ≤ 0.001). The results also narrowed the critical window of exposure for effects on survival to the period between fertilization and 14 dph. Development was not negatively altered by any of the compounds tested, although the commercial formulations increased larval total length and mass at 2.00 ppm. Altogether, the results indicate that the use of 2,4-D herbicides for weed control in aquatic ecosystems at current recommended concentrations (<2 ppm whole lake; <4 ppm spot treatment) could present risks to fathead minnow larval survival.
