“…Determination of lethal concentration study of endosulfan and ametryne on M. rosenbergii revealed that the LC 50 values for endosulfan was 1.6–2 μg L −1 for 24 h exposure and for ametryne, it is calculated as 27 mg L −1 at 24 h. Safe concentration levels of endosulfan and ametryne were estimated to be 0.002 μg L −1 and 0.063 mg L −1 respectively (Lombardi et al . ).…”

Macrobrachium rosenbergii commonly called giant freshwater prawn is a widely farmed crustacean in freshwater. Similar to other aquatic organisms, their growth and well-being is influenced by various physical, chemical and biological factors. We discuss about the critical growth limiting factors as well as disease causing agents and the potential immune molecules of M. rosenbergii that are proved to involve in preventing and/or responding to those limiting factors.

“…The herbicides atrazine and ametrine have been routinely used for the evaluation of toxicity to aquatic organisms (Lombardi et al 2001;Farré et al 2002;Hayes 1.0 lg L -1 1.6 ± 1.14* 0.15* 1.6 ± 1.14 2.8 ± 1.3 0.6 ± 0.89 1.8 ± 1.78 0.70* 1.5 lg L -1 1.2 ± 0.44* 0.11* 1.2 ± 1.09 3.8 ± 3.03 1.0 ± 1.0 0.8 ± 1.3 0.59* 2.0 lg L -1 1.6 ± 0.54* 0.15* 1.6 ± 1.14 3.4 ± 1.14* 0 0 0.49 NC negative control * Value statistically significant by Mann-Whitney test with p \ 0.05 Table 7 Average (± standard deviation), mean frequency (%), and SD of MNs and NA observed in peripheral blood of D. rerio exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of the herbicide ametrine (lg L -1 ) for 96 h Botelho et al 2012;Blahová et al 2013) showing the concern among researchers about the presence of these two compounds in aquatic environments. The genotoxic properties of atrazine have been studied using a variety of assays; however, the results have proved to be contradictory (Clements et al 1997;Garaj-Vrhovac and Zeljezic 2000;Tennant et al 2001;Freeman and Rayburn 2004).…”

A rapid and sensitive method using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry triple quadrupole direct aqueous injection for analysis of atrazine and ametrine herbicides in surface waters was developed. According to the validation method, water samples from six different locations in the Piracicaba River were collected monthly from February 2011 to January 2012 and injected into a liquid chromatographer/dual mass spectrometer without the need for sample extraction. The method was validated and shown to be precise and accurate; limits of detection and quantification were 0.07 and 0.10 µg L(-1) for atrazine and 0.09 and 0.14 µg L(-1) for ametrine. During the sampling period, concentrations of atrazine ranged from 0.11 to 1.92 µg L(-1) and ametrine from 0.25 to 1.44 µg L(-1). After analysis of the herbicides, Danio rerio were exposed a range of concentrations found in the river water to check the induction of micronuclei and nuclear abnormalities (NAs) in erythrocytes. Concentrations of atrazine and ametrine >1.0 and 1.5 µg L(-1), respectively, induced MN formation in D. rerio. Ametrine was shown to be more genotoxic to D. rerio because a greater incidence of NAs was observed compared with atrazine. Therefore, environmentally relevant concentrations of atrazine and ametrine found in the Piracicaba River are dangerous to the aquatic biota.

“…As Hatakeyama and Hiroaki (1998) pointed out, the absence of cannibalism, resulting in very high control survivals, combined with their easy culture, handling, and sensitivity to pollutants make them excellent candidates for biomonitoring programs. Several studies pointed out their potential value as biotest species in Europe (e.g., Vijayram and Geraldine, 1996;Bazzanti et al, 1997;Lombardi et al, 2000Lombardi et al, , 2001Gerhardt et al, 2002Gerhardt et al, , 2004. The small decapod Atyaephyra desmaresti Millet is one of the few freshwater shrimps in Europe, originating from the Mediterranean area (Gauthier, 1924), extending east to the Black Sea and north to The Netherlands (Fidalgo and Gerhardt, 2003) via the large European waterways.…”

Short-term 48 h laboratory bioassays with water from an acid mine drainage (AMD: pH 3.3, 4.4, 5.0, 5.5, 6.4, control) and water from an arsenic containing reservoir were performed with the freshwater shrimp Atyaephyra desmaresti Millet, validated in situ and compared to acidified control water (ACID). Behaviour, mortality and time to death were monitored with the Multispecies Freshwater Biomonitor (MFB). The shrimps had equal 24 h-LC50s at pH 4 in AMD and ACID. However, after 48 h AMD proved more toxic (48 h-LC50 at pH 5.2) than ACID (48 h-LC50 at pH 4.5). Stress behaviour in AMD consisted at pH < or = 6.4 of a pH-dependent decrease in activity, with disappearance of circadian rhythmicity, and at pH 4.4 a clear increase of ventilation. At pH 5.5 bioaccumulation of metals was higher and locomotion lower than at pH 5.0. In ACID, only at pH < or = 4.4 locomotion became abated and arythmic. Locomotion in the field was equal or higher compared to the laboratory, whereas the ventilation was higher in the laboratory. A. desmaresti is a valuable species to be used in short term behavioural bioassays of AMD in Europe.
