“…Currently, Coatzacoalcos is considered one of the most polluted regions in Mexico [22,23], to such a degree that, in environmental matrices such as water, soil, air, or sediment, and even in fauna, the presence of POPs, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dioxins, heavy metals, among others, has been detected [11,[24][25][26][27]. Some of these pollutants have been associated with genotoxic or enzymatic effects in aquatic and terrestrial organisms at this site [10,11,28,29]. In this context, the objective of this chapter is to present and compare the results of a monitoring of physiological responses (biomarkers) in R. marina carried out in the lower basin of the Coatzacoalcos river in different years as a follow-up of the environmental quality of the region.…”
