“…Elevating UV radiation occurs as a result of stratospheric ozone layer depletion due to excess releases of industrial and inhabitant pollutants such as chlorofluorocarbons, chlorocarbons, and organo-bromides to the atmosphere ( Shindell et al, 1998 ). Despite the progressive ban in using these hazardous substances in the world, the level of UV radiation on the Earth remains of great concerned ( Watanabe et al, 2011 ; Araújo et al, 2021 ). UV is a harmful substance causing deleterious effects on all living organisms ranging from prokaryotic bacteria to eukaryotic organisms including lower and higher plants, animals, and humans ( Sinha and Häder, 2002 ).…”

To successfully survive and reproduce, all species constantly modify the structure and expression of their genomes to cope with changing environmental conditions including ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Thus, knowledge of species adaptation to environmental changes is a central theme of evolutionary studies which could have important implication for disease management and social-ecological sustainability in the future but is generally insufficient. Here, we investigated the evolution of UV adaptation in organisms by population genetic analysis of sequence structure, physiochemistry, transcription, and fitness variation in the radiation-sensitive 4 (RAD4) gene of the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans sampled from various altitudes. We found that RAD4 is a key gene determining the resistance of the pathogen to UV stress as indicated by strong phenotype-genotype-geography associations and upregulated transcription after UV exposure. We also found conserved evolution in the RAD4 gene. Only five nucleotide haplotypes corresponding to three protein isoforms generated by point mutations were detected in the 140 sequences analyzed and the mutations were constrained to the N-terminal domain of the protein. Physiochemical changes associated with non-synonymous mutations generate severe fitness penalty to mutants, which are purged out by natural selection, leading to the conserved evolution observed in the gene.

“…Exposure of fish to UV radiation, and particularly UV-B radiation, has negative effects on physiology, behaviour, morphology and in some cases leads to mortality of eggs, juveniles and adult fish [ 275 , 276 ]. The latest laboratory studies illustrate this fact, showing that early developmental stages of the Senegalese sole ( Solea senegalesis ) changed pigmentation, behaviour, and reduced growth upon exposure to UV radiation (combined UV-B and UV-A) [ 277 ]. Additional sub-lethal and lethal effects have been demonstrated in response to exposure to both UV-B and UV-A radiation and in different life stages of many fish species [ 275 , 276 ].…”

Variations in stratospheric ozone and changes in the aquatic environment by climate change and human activity are modifying the exposure of aquatic ecosystems to UV radiation. These shifts in exposure have consequences for the distributions of species, biogeochemical cycles, and services provided by aquatic ecosystems. This Quadrennial Assessment presents the latest knowledge on the multi-faceted interactions between the effects of UV irradiation and climate change, and other anthropogenic activities, and how these conditions are changing aquatic ecosystems. Climate change results in variations in the depth of mixing, the thickness of ice cover, the duration of ice-free conditions and inputs of dissolved organic matter, all of which can either increase or decrease exposure to UV radiation. Anthropogenic activities release oil, UV filters in sunscreens, and microplastics into the aquatic environment that are then modified by UV radiation, frequently amplifying adverse effects on aquatic organisms and their environments. The impacts of these changes in combination with factors such as warming and ocean acidification are considered for aquatic micro-organisms, macroalgae, plants, and animals (floating, swimming, and attached). Minimising the disruptive consequences of these effects on critical services provided by the world’s rivers, lakes and oceans (freshwater supply, recreation, transport, and food security) will not only require continued adherence to the Montreal Protocol but also a wider inclusion of solar UV radiation and its effects in studies and/or models of aquatic ecosystems under conditions of the future global climate.

“…Flat sh, such as Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis Kaup, 1858), have been increasingly used in European marine aquaculture industry (Imsland et al, 2003;Morais et al, 2016). Besides, their complex and fast life cycle are interesting for ecotoxicological studies (Pimentel et al, 2015;Pavlaki et al, 2016;Araújo et al, 2018;2019;2020). The eggs can be obtained from wild spawners in rearing facilities in Southern Europe throughout the year (Imsland et al, 2003;Anguis and Cañavate, 2005;Morais et al, 2016).…”

Previous studies have shown that S. senegalensis behavior during early pelagic stage was affected by 4-MBC exposure (Araújo et al, 2018); however, the effects of the exposure to this chemical during metamorphosis, a sensitive window of at sh development is still unknown.…”

Many personal care products integrate UV-filters, such as 4-methylbenzylidene camphor (4-MBC) which has been detected in aquatic habitats. Possible effects of 4-MBC to aquatic organisms have been poorly studied. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to study the effects of 4-MBC exposure to Solea senegalensis during metamorphosis, a sensitive life stage of this flatfish. To achieve this, at the beginning of metamorphosis (13 days after hatching, dah) fish were exposed to 4-MBC (0.2–2.0 mg L− 1) for 48 h. After this period, fish were transferred to clean medium and were fed and maintained until more than 80% of fish in control group completed the metamorphosis (24 dah). Mortality, malformations and metamorphosis progression were studied on a daily basis. In addition, growth, behavior and biochemical markers of neurotransmission (acetylcholinesterase, AChE), oxidative stress (catalase, CAT; glutathione S-transferase, GST, and lipid peroxidation, LPO) and anaerobic metabolism (lactate dehydrogenase, LDH) were determined at the end of the experiment. An acceleration of metamorphosis progression was observed during and 2 days after the 4-MBC exposure in all concentrations tested. In addition, decreased length, inhibition of CAT activity and induction of oxidative damage (LOEC = 0.928 mg L− 1 4-MBC for length, CAT and LPO) were observed. A short-term exposure to 4-MBC at the onset of metamorphosis, a critical period of development, affected S. senegalensis at several levels of organization, even after nine days in clean medium, including growth and metamorphosis progression, suggesting possible long-term adverse effects to this species.
