“…The pattern of SOD and CAT in L.calcarifer showed a consistent and convincing outcome that these two biomarkers will respond the most in the liver, followed by gill and muscle. This agrees with studies reported by (Ameur et al, 2012;Beg et al, 2014;Ballesteros et al, 2017) in Mugil cephalus, Dicentrachus labrax, Acanthopagrus latus, Cynoglossus arel and Jenynsia multidentata. From these results it further explains, regardless differences a certain habitat have the response of SOD and CAT in L.calcarifer will respond following the capability of the organ to take up the pollutants as well as the route of xenobitics to get into the body system (Ahmad et al, 2000).…”

The study was conducted to investigate the organ-specific antioxidants and protein damages responses in Lates calcarifer inhabiting different aquaculture farms that susceptible to different threat of pollutions. Enzymes at the front line of antioxidant system superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) evidenced to work together but respond differently in different body compartment. High SOD responses were followed with lower CAT responses observed in muscle (p < 0.05) with opposite responses exhibited by both gill and liver. The responses of SOD and CAT in muscle also showed a significant strong correlation to each other (Setiu Wetland: 0.91, Semerak: 0.79) (p < 0.01). The glutathione-dependent enzymes, glutathione-s-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR) in body compartments responded with a strong correlation to each other especially in muscle (Tumpat; muscle: 0.89, gill: 0.95 and liver: 0.54 (p < 0.01, p < 0.05), (Setiu Wetland; muscle: 0.72 (p < 0.01) and Semerak; muscle: 0.79 (p < 0.01). Opposite results were found for both protein damages biomarkers, thiols (-SH-) and carbonyl (-CH-) in comparison to biomarkers responses. In contrary to (-SH-) inconsistent results were observed for the (-CH-) with muscle found to be most oxidised. The responses of SOD, CAT, GST, GR, thiols and carbonyl were all computed into the same scale through Integrated Biomarker Score (IBR) to classify each aquaculture farms based on biomarkers responses. There was a slight variation in deviation score (A) between organs within the range of (5-7). However, Tumpat overall showed the highest IBR score and significantly higher (p < 0.05) than Setiu Wetland with a total score of combining responses score in all three organs (IBR: 84, muscle: 31, gill: 24, and liver: 29) followed by intermediate score in Semerak (IBR: 72, muscle: 23, gill: 23 and liver: 26) and Setiu Wetland (IBR: 59, muscle: 18, gill: 23 and liver: 18). These results indicated that the responses of antioxidant enzymes and protein damages in L.calcarifer from different organs are heterogeneous. Therefore, biomarkers should be selected based on their sequential groups in the antioxidant system for a better explanation of the oxidative stress evaluation in fish.

“…More particularly, histopathological indices (Maggioni et al, 2012) and fish somatic indices that relate the weight of determined tissues (i.e. liver, spleen, gonads) with the total fish weight are able to show pollutants effects on fish (i.e., Guyón et al, 2016;Ballesteros et al, 2017). On the other hand, fish biomarkers are useful tools in several steps of the risk assessment process: effect, exposure and hazard assessment, risk characterization or classification, and monitoring the environmental quality of aquatic ecosystems (van der Ooost et al, 2003).…”

Integrated Biomarkers Response (IBR) index have been developed as a practical and robust tool to assess the susceptibility to pollutants using multiple biomarker responses. Neonicotinoid insecticides are nowadays one of the most sold pesticides worldwide. Nevertheless, imidacloprid (IMI) sub-lethal effects such as oxidative stress (OS) on fishes are scarcely studied. Hence, the aims of this work were: (1) to evaluate exposure-and damage biomarkers related to OS in the freshwater fish Australoheros facetus exposed to IMI and (2) to apply the IBR index to achieve a comprehensive understanding of OS in the fish. The results of the present study showed that all the biomarkers presented different responses in the three monitored tissues: liver, brain and gills. Results for an initial battery of 19 biomarkers were obtained and for the IBR index only those with significant differences have been considered. The biomarkers that had the most important weight on the IBR index were SOD activity in brain and gills, H 2 O 2 concentration in liver, and carbonyl groups concentration in gills in fishes exposed to 100 and 1000 μg L −1 IMI. This index allowed affirming that a short term exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of IMI (≥10 μg L −1) produces OS in A. facetus. However, a more deep understanding of some biomarkers response is necessary to improve the index and for finally apply it in field studies.

“…In line with the sustainable development goals, potential biological impacts of river pollution should be identified in order to implement effective national strategies for management and conservation of the water resources. Biomarker responses in fish are cost effective tools for monitoring and assessment of pollution impacts in riverine ecosystems (Ossana et al 2016;Ballesteros et al 2017). Even though the use of the biomarker responses in native fishes which are being exposed naturally to pollution loads in the riverine ecosystem over long periods is ideal for pollution impact assessments, it may not be practically feasible in some situations where same species could not be captured from all the study sites including the pristine sites for comparison of biomarker responses.…”

“…In aquatic ecosystems, use of multi-biomarkers in fish at different levels of biological organization (molecular/biochemical, cellular, tissue/organ levels etc.) may give a more reliable picture of the pollution impacts (Ballesteros et al 2017;Vieira et al 2017). Inhibition of acetyl cholinesterase enzyme activities in fish can affect proper neurotransmission at cholinergic synapses.…”

Biomarkers can be considered as early warning signals for potential adverse effects on the biota. The present study examined the feasibility of using selected biomarker responses of a model fish, Oreochromis niloticus under laboratory exposure approach for identification of potential biological impacts of pollution in Kelani River. Laboratory acclimated O. niloticus were exposed under static-renewal conditions to water samples collected from selected sites of the Kelani River basin with different anthropogenic influences and biomarker responses (brain and muscle cholinesterase activities for neurotoxicity, erythrocyte micronuclei and nuclear abnormalities for genotoxicity and liver histology for hepatic damage) were evaluated at 5 and 10 days of exposure. Exposed water was physico-chemically characterized using standard analytical methods. The results revealed that exposure of O. niloticus to the water from selected polluted sites which included canals and canal confluences resulted in significant increases (p<0.05) in total erythrocyte nuclear abnormalities, evolution of erythrocyte micronuclei and induction of liver histopathological indices in comparison to the fish exposed to the water from the upper reach of the river (reference site) in most cases and the control fish exposed to the aged tap water in all cases. Brain cholinesterase activity was significantly inhibited (p<0.05) in the fish exposed to the water from the most polluted site compared to the control fish exposed to the aged tap water. Biomarker responses indicated that the fish populations inhabiting the polluted sites in the river may be under stress especially due to hepatic damage and genotoxicity. Evaluation of "effect directed biomarker responses" of the model fish, O. niloticus following laboratory exposure to the contaminated water can be a practically feasible approach for biomonitoring potential pollution impacts associated with the riverine ecosystems.
