Relationship between arsenic accumulation in tissues and hematological parameters in mullet caught in Faro Lake: a preliminary study

Effect of Dietary Vitamin C Supplementation on the Blood Parameters of Striped Bass Morone saxatilis (Walbaum, 1752)

“…Assessment of haematological parameters (white blood cell, WBC; red blood cell, RBC; haemoglobin concentration, Hb; haematocrit, Hct; mean corpuscular volume, MCV; mean corpuscular haemoglobin, MCH; mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration, MCHC; thrombocytes, TC) was performed immediately after blood collection by an automatic method using a blood cell counter, HeCo Vet C (SEAC, Florence, Italy). This instrument uses a special lysing reagent for fish (SEAC, Code 71010460) previously employed to investigate haematological profile in various fish species Fazio, Saoca, Casella, Fortino, & Piccione, 2015;Fazio et al, 2019;Fazio, Saoca, Vazzana, & Piccione, 2017;Fazio, Arfuso, Levanti, Saoca, & Piccione, 2017;. Furthermore, this technique has been validated by Fazio et al, (2012) .…”

Assessment of the Levels of Pollution and of Their Risks by Radioactivity and Trace Metals on Marine Edible Fish and Crustaceans at the Bay of Bengal (Chattogram, Bangladesh)

“…The level of naturally occurring radioactive elements in the marine environment has gradually increased due to human activities, such as mining and processing of ores, production of natural oil and gas, and combustion of fossil fuels in coal-fired power plants. Moreover, anthropogenic contributions are made by underwater nuclear device tests, post-nuclear disposal of industrial and radioactive waste, recycling of spent nuclear fuel, and accidents, including leaks from nuclear power plants [4][5][6][7]. Among the radionuclides, uranium, radium, and radon are soluble in seawater, whereas thorium is almost completely insoluble.…”

“…In addition, trace metals are released into the environment from different sources, such as transportation, industrial activities, fossil fuels, agriculture, urbanization, and other human activities [6][7][8][9]. The release of large quantities of trace metals into nature has resulted in several environmental problems due to their non-biodegradability and persistence.…”

“…Fish and crustacean species, because of their important dual role as both an integral element of marine food webs and a commercial food product for humans, are frequently selected as indicator organisms in studies related to pollution or the bioaccumulation processes of various noxious substances [15]. The bioaccumulation of trace metals and isotopic contaminants by the tissues and organs of marine organisms has been studied globally and has led to the adoption of the bioindicator concept for environmental quality assessments [5][6][7][8]16,17].…”

Intra-variability of some biochemical parameters and serum electrolytes in rainbow trout (Walbaum, 1792) bred using a flow-through system

“…Monitoring of cholesterol levels, being an essential structural component of cell membranes and the precursor of all steroid hormones, is of fundamental importance to determine the healthy status of teleost [12]. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST); alanine aminotransferase (ALT) are two major aminotransferases being the most significant enzymes involved in protein and amino acid metabolism [13,14] These, with other parameters, are commonly used to detect health of aquatic animals [15,16,17].…”
