“…As shown by our study, even low values of magnetic fields are capable of inducing a melanophore response. Also, research on Oreochromis mossambicus showed that the melanophore index decreased over time, after exposure of fish to lead nitrate, phenol and hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) (Daiwile et al 2015).…”

“…In determining the melanophore development (eye pigmentation and melanophores on the body), we observed 50 embryos of both species in each variant of the experiment. The degree of melanosome concentration in the embryonic and larval melanophores was assessed and expressed as melanophore index, determined from the images recorded, evaluating the degree of pigment concentration or dispersion in melanophores (scale 1aggregated melanosomes, to 5dispersed melanosomes) (Srivastava & Jaju 1981;Patil & Jain 1993;Daiwile et al 2015). Twenty-five eggs were examined from each variant of the experiment.…”

“…Establishing a correlation between the primary stress indicator, the MI, and a set of genomic stress indicators is crucial for understanding the cellular stress pathway induced by xenobiotics in aquatic species [75]. Given melanophores' heightened sensitivity to environmental stressors, it is essential to substantiate the connection between the MI and arrays of functional stress indicators during exposure to environmental contaminants.…”

Fish colouration significantly influences various aspects of their biology, including communication, camouflage, and mate selection. Among the pigment cells responsible for generating colours, melanophores are particularly significant due to their ability to produce dark pigments called melanin. The Melanophore Index (MI) quantitatively evaluates melanophore density and distribution across different fish species. This comprehensive review delves into the significance of fish colouration, the biology of melanophores, methods for assessing MI, factors influencing MI variations, and the ecological and evolutionary implications of MI in fish populations. By synthesizing current research and highlighting gaps in knowledge, this review aims to provide a foundational understanding of assessing fish colouration through the lens of the Melanophore Index.

“…Plastic particle aggregation in the ecosystem has toxic effects on biodiversity (Dawson et al 2018 ; Gall and Thompson, 2015 ; Lu et al 2016 ). As a result, immediate management strategies are required to reduce or eliminate potential threats to organism life (Barletta et al 2019 ; Bour et al 2018 ; Daiwile et al 2015 ).…”

Plastic trash dumped into water bodies degrade over time into small fragments. These plastic fragments, which come under the category of micro-plastics (MPs), are generally 0.05–5 mm in size, and due to their small size they are frequently consumed by aquatic organisms. As a result, widespread MPs infiltration is a global concern for the aquatic environment, posing a threat to existing life forms. MPs easily bind to other toxic chemicals or metals, acting as vector for such toxic substances and introducing them into life forms. Polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, and other polymers are emerging pollutants that are detrimental to all types of organisms. The main route for MPs into the aquatic ecosystems is through the flushing of urban wastewater. The current paper investigates the origin, environmental fate, and toxicity of MPs, shedding light on their sustainable remediation. Graphical abstract
