“…Unfortunately, by the chemical-based approach alone, we can only know the concentrations of individual compounds in the effluents (Sarakinos et al, 2000), which is not sufficient enough to assess ecological effects of toxic chemicals in industrial effluents (Burgess et al, 1995;Rosa et al, 2001). By WET testing alone, we can only measure the toxic effect of an effluent as a whole and account for uncharacterized sources of toxicity (Smolders et al, 2003), but it is difficult to identify the toxicants without chemical analysis of the pollutants (Fjällborg et al, 2006). Therefore there is a great need for methods to combine the chemical analysis and bioassay to evaluate the toxicity of effluents from different industries.…”

“…It is also well understood that no single biomarker has emerged as a widely used biomarker for contamination without some limitation, so a set of biomarkers is essential [79]. Measurements at biochemical or physiological levels detect more quickly and specifically the presence of several toxic compounds, allowing their utilization in a prospective way, until that deleterious effect reaches higher organization levels.…”

Abstract-The purpose of the present study is to provide information on the current state of knowledge regarding the effects of pesticides and antibiotics used in aquaculture on penaeid shrimp, one of the most common aquatic products for human consumption, with a special emphasis on the use of behavioral, physiological, and biochemical response. These include behavior; feeding rate changes; respiration rate, oxygen consumption, and osmoregulation alterations; nucleic acids, protein, and glycogen synthesis; cholinesterase activity inhibition; ATPase activity; and oxidative stress responses. This paper also deals with residues of antibiotics and pesticides in penaeid shrimp. Antibiotics and pesticides used in aquaculture may have adverse effects on treated animals and human consumers health if they are not correctly used. As a complement to the measurement of antibiotic and pesticide residues in tissues, the use of behavioral and biomarker responses can provide more relevant biological information on the potential adverse effects of antibiotics and pesticides on penaeid shrimp health.

“…Also, fate of individual chemicals is better understood and can be modeled easily to project exposure concentrations for Tier 1 assessments. In addition, component approaches are quantitative and can be used to establish remediation goals for specific contaminants (Ankley and Mount, 1996;Smolders et aL, 2003;Van Leeuwen et al, 1996).…”

“…Contaminants missed by chemical screening analyses or below the detection limit can contribute to toxicity (Ankley and Mount, 1996;Smolders et aL, 2003;Van Leeuwen et al, 1996). A component approach (additive HI) was shown to underestimate the toxicity of a lead smelter effluent due to metals or other toxicants in the mixture that were below detection limits; this underestimation was not due to interaction as an artificial mixture 59 iFcontaining the measured metals produced the predicted additive toxicity (Ross and Bidwell, 2003).…”
