“…Nanotechnology is a future-oriented scientific field that has already impacted many other sectors, such as medicine, cosmetics, energy and food (Kannan et al, 2023;Munekata et al, 2021). In aquaculture, nanoparticle technology has a broad spectrum of applications from pond water treatment and aquatic disease detection to the efficient delivery of cultural inputs, including medicines, vaccines and nutrients, to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the aquaculture industry (Aliko et al, 2024;Gabriel et al, 2022;Jeyavani et al, nanotechnology in aquaculture sector is faced with some limitations, including the cost-effectiveness of available resources and the practical risks for the application of nanotechnology in aquaculture practices, which should be concerned before industrialization (Munekata et al, 2021).…”

BackgroundAstaxanthin is the most prevalent carotenoid in the marine environment and is widely used as an additive in formulated aquafeeds.ObjectivesA 60‐day feeding trial was conducted to consider the effect of dietary nanoliposome‐coated astaxanthin (NA) on haematological parameters, serum antioxidant activities and immune responses of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss.MethodsA total of 450 healthy fish weighing 31.00 ± 2.09 g were randomly assigned in triplicate (30 fish per replicate) to 5 dietary treatments: 0 (control), 25.00, 50.00, 75.00, and 100.00 mg kg−1 NA.ResultsFish fed the diet supplemented with 50.00 mg kg−1 NA exhibited the highest values of red blood cells, white blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit of 1.64 ± 0.01 × 106 mm−3, 5.54 ± 0.21 × 103 mm−3, 8.73 ± 0.24 g dL−1 and 46.67% ± 0.88%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those fed the basal diet (p < 0.05). The lowest and highest percentages of lymphocytes (67.67% ± 0.33%) and neutrophils (27.33% ± 1.20%) were also obtained in fish fed 50.00 mg kg−1 NA compared to those fed the basal diet (p < 0.05). Fish receiving diet supplemented with 50.00 mg kg−1 NA revealed the highest serum activity in superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, lysozyme and alternative complement and the lowest level of total cholesterol, cortisol, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase than fish receiving the basal diet (p < 0.05). Serum immunoglobulin (Ig) and ACH50 contents significantly increased with increasing dietary NA supplementation to the highest values of 43.17 ± 1.46 and 293.33 ± 2.03 U mL−1, respectively, in fish fed diet supplemented with 50 mg kg−1 NA (p < 0.05).ConclusionsSupplementation of NA in rainbow trout diet at 50 mg kg−1 exhibited a positive effect on haematological parameters, antioxidant capacity and immune responses. Administration of such dosage can enhance rainbow trout immune responses against unfavourable or stressful conditions, for example disease outbreaks, hypoxic condition, thermal stress and sudden osmotic fluctuations, which usually happen in an intensive culture system.

“…MPs can even cross the intestinal barrier to reach the liver tissue [38]. The accumulation can influence the organism by blocking the digestive passage and physiology of the cell [39][40][41]. Additionally, a significantly enhanced Zn bioaccumulation was observed in the microplastic co-exposed groups compared to the individual Zn group and control group.…”

The omnipresence of microplastics and nanoparticles has led to their entry into the fresh and marine aquatic systems and affected the biota. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of the interaction of polyethylene microplastic (PE-MPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) in mosquito fish, Gambusia holbrooki. For this, fish were exposed to 100 µg L−1 PE-MPs (group 2), 200 µg L−1 PE-MPs (group 3), 50 µg L−1 ZnO-NPs (group 4), 50 µg L−1 ZnO-NPs combined with 100 µg L−1 PE-MPs (group 5), and 200 µg L−1 PE-MPs (group 6) and control (group 1) for 14 days. The assessment was made through accumulation studies (MPs and Zn) and antioxidant assay. Significant elevation in the activity of catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase levels was observed in ZnO-NPs alone and in combination with PE-MPs (100 and 200 µg L−1) groups only. High malondialdehyde levels were observed in all the exposed groups. Concordantly total antioxidant (TAN) levels displayed a significant reduction in all treated groups compared to control. Accumulation study on microplastic suggested liver-targeted accumulation of PE-MPs, while for ZnO-NPs, observed PE-MPs assisted accumulation. The study affirms the induction of oxidative stress and ZnO-NPs-induced toxicity facilitated by PE-MPs in fish.

“…Fish have been used as indicator species for water quality contamination, because fish are organisms closely related to the aquatic environment and suffer stress and disturbance due to the presence of pollutants [ 61 ]. Therefore, organisms such as medaka, zebrafish, carp, guppy, and tilapia are often used as models for toxicological testing [ 62 ].…”

Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) have greatly facilitated food production worldwide, and their use is not limited to agriculture and the control of pests and disease vectors. However, these substances can directly affect the immune response of non-target organisms. In this sense, exposure to OPs can have negative effects on innate and adaptive immunity, promoting deregulation in humoral and cellular processes such as phagocytosis, cytokine expression, antibody production, cell proliferation, and differentiation, which are crucial mechanisms for host defense against external agents. This review focuses on the scientific evidence of exposure to OPs and their toxic effects on the immune system of non-target organisms (invertebrates and vertebrates) from a descriptive perspective of the immuno-toxic mechanisms associated with susceptibility to the development of bacterial, viral, and fungal infectious diseases. During the exhaustive review, we found that there is an important gap in the study of non-target organisms, examples of which are echinoderms and chondrichthyans. It is therefore important to increase the number of studies on other species directly or indirectly affected by Ops, to assess the degree of impact at the individual level and how this affects higher levels, such as populations and ecosystems.
