“…Lesnik and Jurcina (1994) reported that high doses may cause damage to the gastrointestinal tract, leading to a defect in the intestinal mucosa. Severe histological changes due to radiations were induced in aquatic organisms (Egami et al, 1984;Sadiq Bukhari et al, 2012;Stalin et al, 2013aStalin et al, , 2013b, which is in agreement to our results.…”

“…Stalin et al, (2013a;2013b) demonstrated induction of histological and morphological aberrations including swollen and necrotic lamellae in the gill, deformations of the uropod, and discolouration of the abdomen in M. rosenbergii over a dose range of 3 -3000 mGy (Stalin et al, 2013a), with the magnitude of effects relating to dose. Iwasaki (1973) adopted a histological approach to assess gamma radiation-induced effects in oogonia and oocytes of the brine shrimp, Artemia salina.…”

“…Ionising radiation has been demonstrated to induce behavioural changes in a number of crustacean species including crabs (Engel, 1967), prawns (Stalin et al, 2013a) and crayfish (Rodriguez & Kimeldorf, 1976). Alterations to behavioural patterns are fundamental in environmental risk assessments since these perturbations may arise as an adaptive mechanism to chronic contaminant exposure and have the potential to alter species-species interactions (Dell'Omo, 2002).…”

“…Furthermore, limited data suggests induction of behavioural effects at lower, environmentally relevant doses. Stalin et al, (2013a) demonstrated behavioural changes including alterations to swimming patterns in the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii at acute gamma doses of 3 mGy.…”

“…Behavioural analysis of crustacean species exposed to ionising radiation has relied largely upon anecdotal visual observations over a defined time period (Stalin et al, 2013a). This approach is subject to a number of limitations including a lack of test standards (Kane et al, 2004), a low sensitivity comparable with video-based behavioural analysers and the potential for individual bias.…”

The biological effects of ionising radiation on Crustaceans: A review

Historic approaches to radiation protection are founded on the conjecture that measures to safeguard humans are adequate to protect non-human organisms. This view is disparate with other toxicants wherein well-developed frameworks exist to minimise exposure of biota. Significant data gaps for many organisms, coupled with high profile nuclear incidents such as Chernobyl and Fukushima, have prompted the re-evaluation of our approach toward environmental radioprotection. Elucidating the impacts of radiation on biota has been identified as priority area for future research within both scientific and regulatory communities. The crustaceans are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems, comprising greater than 66,000 species of ecological and commercial importance. This paper aims to assess the available literature of radiation-induced effects within this subphylum and identify knowledge gaps. A literature search was conducted pertaining to radiation effects on four endpoints as stipulated by a number of regulatory bodies: mortality, morbidity, reproduction and mutation. A major finding of this review was the paucity of data regarding the effects of environmentally relevant radiation doses on crustacean biology. Extremely few studies utilising chronic exposure durations or wild populations were found across all four endpoints. The dose levels at which effects occur was found to vary by orders of magnitude thus presenting difficulties in developing phyla-specific benchmark values and reference levels for radioprotection. Based on the limited data, mutation was found to be the most sensitive endpoint of radiation exposure, with mortality the least sensitive. Current phyla-specific dose levels and limits proposed by major regulatory bodies were found to be inadequate to protect species across a range of endpoints including morbidity, mutation and reproduction and examples are discussed within. These findings serve to prioritise areas for future research that will significantly advance understanding of radiation-induced effects in aquatic invertebrates and consequently enhance ability to predict the impacts of radioactive releases on the environment.
