“…According to the biometric averages found for the animals in this study, these values may be directly affected by the level of contaminants found in the aquatic environment (Noleto et al, 2021). According to Ribeiro et al (2012) species that inhabit impacted areas use the energy stock available to grow to perform detoxification.…”

“…Altered metal levels were previously found in São José Bay by Noleto et al (2021), andRibeiro et al (2020) when studying metals in oysters of the Cassostrea genus (Sacco, 1897). Barbieri et al (2010), also found accumulation of trace metals in the muscle of Cathorops spixii (Agassiz, 1829), in an estuary located in Aracajú-SE, characterizing direct connection with the life cycle and feeding habits of the catfish to a higher incidence of contaminants in its organism.…”

Estuaries are constantly subject to continuous environmental impacts of human activities, such as fisheries, port or industry, and domestic sewage, with fish being one of the most affected aquatic animals, reflecting the impacts directly on their bodies. Thus, the aim of this study was to carry out the biomonitoring of an estuary located on the Amazonian Equatorial Coast through analysis of PAHs (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) in the water, in addition to trace metals, histopathological alterations and analysis of erythrocyte micronuclei in Sciades herzbergii. S. herzbergii was used as a model species, due to its estuarine-resident behavior. Gonad and gill samples were subjected to histopathological evaluations. The quantification of trace metals was performed in samples of skeletal muscles of the animals collected, where concentrations of Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd), Magnesium (Mg), Iron (Fe) and Aluminum (Al) were found. Except for Cadmium (Cd), all the concentrations were above the recommended limits. The PAHs analysis revealed the presence of Naphthalene and Acenaphthene in the water samples Histopathological and genotoxic analyses revealed of lesions in 100% of the study specimens. Thus, the histological and genotoxic alterations found in 100% of S. herzbergii specimens captured in São José Bay-MA are potentially associated with PAH concentrations present in the water. These results are potentially associated with the presence of PAH and trace metals, both in water and in animal tissues, inferring a general scenario of environmental contamination which directly implies a risk to the health and survival of the local biota. This study shows the relevance of continuous biomonitoring of estuarine ecosystems, in order to guide authorities regarding sewage management and ensure the evolutionary development of estuarine species, especially fishes of importance in the local cuisine, therefore related to human food security.

The intertidal marine bivalve Glauconome chinensis (Chinese glauconome), Gray 1828 is a burrowing benthic fauna inhabiting in soft muddy to sandy sediments of Western pacific mangrove areas. The specimen is characterised by long siphon (inhalant and exhalent) for feeding and a prominent foot for locomotion. They are mostly gonochoric, few are sometimes protandric hermaphrodites. According to Gray’s description their embryonic development starts through free swimming trochophore larvae and succeeded by the veliger. Glauconome chinensis has been rediscovered for the first time from the intertidal coastal mangrove areas of Talsari, confluence of Subarnarekha estuary of West Bengal-Odisha coast, India. Quadrates having areas of 1m² were placed randomly on study sites and the studied specimens were unearthed, counted their size, biomas, population density and distribution pattern. Physico-chemical parameters were also evaluated. For anatomical study tissues were fixed in 4% formalin solution and processed through alcoholic grades. Body length, siphon, gill, mantle, foot, adductor muscles, digestive gland and gonads were examined. The studied specimens were stayed in 10-40cm depth from sediment surface and showed clumped distribution pattern. The mean length, width and biomass of the specimen were 39.2(mm) ±0.393, 14.5(mm) ±0.351and 3.89(gm) ±0.382 respectively. The report on the occurrence of such intertidal bivalve adds relevant data for the good assessment of food chain and food web of marine coastal mangrove ecosystem. The present study also aims to gather knowledge of valuable ecological services of Glauconome chinensis and to maintain the biological integrity of West Bengal-Odisha coastal region with Bay of Bengal.

“…Similar results were observed in oyster gills exposed in the presence of different pollutants as eld works with Crassostrea sp. exposed to high values of heavy metals in estuarine harbor regions (Noleto et al 2021)d rhizophorae exposed to areas impacted by anthropogenic activities (Valdez Domingos et al 2007), as well as, experiment works with Crassostrea angulata exposed to a higher concentration of copper (Rodríguez-Rúa et al 2005)d gigas exposed to a toxic dino agellate diet (Noleto et al 2021). Also, similar gills alterations were observed in mussels Brachidontes rodriguezii from harbor areas of Buenos Aires Province (Arrighetti et al 2019).…”

The objective of this study was to characterize and evaluate morphological alterations and cell and tissue composition of the gill and digestive gland in Magallana gigasfrom urbanized areas with different degrees of human activity over one year. For that, the height of the plicas and filaments of the gill and the tubule epithelium area were measured, the ratio of cell-type and tissue composition analyzed of the digestive gland as well as alterations in the pattern of structural organization in these organs were assessed. The specimens were collected in November 2021, and February, May and August 2022 from two representative sampling sites of distinct anthropic pressures in the coastal area of Buenos Aires Province: Arroyo Parejas (AP, 38° 55’ S, 62° 04’ W) and Pehuén-Có (PC, 39° 01’ S; 61° 32’ W). The results of the morphological parameters, ratio of cell-type, tissue composition and histological alterations of Magallana gigas showed difference between the studied urbanized areas and seasons, suggesting a negative relationship between intense human activity and the health of the gills and digestive gland of the Pacific oyster. Understanding the gill and digestive gland morphology of Pacific oysters, as well as their response to varying levels of human activity in the study region, could help mitigate the impacts of this non-native species.
