Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous in the marine environment and impact organisms at multiple levels. Understanding their actual effects on wild populations is urgently needed. This study develops a toolkit to monitor changes in gene expression induced by MPs in natural environments, focusing on filter-feeding and bioindicator species from diverse ecological and taxonomic groups. Six candidate genes

Gender-specific effects of dydrogesterone on zebrafish liver metabolism after long-term exposure Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2025-01-04 Yu-Xia Jiang, Jian-Nan Guo, Li-Xin Hu, Hui Zhang, Choon-Nam Ong, Wen-Jun Shi, Guang-Guo Ying
Synthetic progestin dydrogesterone is widely used in gynecology and animal husbandry, leading to high environmental detection rates and concentrations. Dydrogesterone influences sex differentiation, gonad development, and spawning in fish. However, its impact on the liver, a vital organ for hormone production and detoxification, remains largely unknown. In this study, zebrafish embryos were exposed

Developing predictive models for assessing LC50 of organic contaminants in Gammarus species using interpretable structural parameters Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2025-01-03 Mehran Karimi, Eskandar Kolvari, Mohammad Hossein Keshavarz, Nadiya Koukabi
Gammarus species are crucial indicators of environmental health, making them important for ecological studies and water quality assessments. They offer a wide range of specific responses regarding the median lethal concentration (LC50) of organic compounds. This research presents four predictive models to determine the LC50 of chemicals impacting selected gammarid amphipods: Gammarus lacustris, Gammarus

Combined effects of a pharmaceutical pollutant, gemfibrozil, and abiotic stressors (warming and air exposure) on cellular stress responses of the blue mussels Mytilus edulis Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2025-01-01 Halina Falfushynska, Eugene P. Sokolov, Inna M. Sokolova
Lipid-lowering drugs such as gemfibrozil (GFB) are widely used and highly biologically active, contributing to their persistence in wastewater and subsequent release into aquatic ecosystems. However, the potential impacts and toxic mechanisms of these emerging pollutants on non-target marine organisms, particularly keystone bivalves like Mytilus edulis, remain poorly understood. To address this knowledge

Impacts of microplastic accumulation in aquatic environment: Physiological, eco-toxicological, immunological, and neurotoxic effects Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-30 Eram Rashid, Syed Makhdoom Hussain, Shafaqat Ali, Muhammad Munir, Abdul Ghafoor, Ebru Yilmaz, Mohammed Ali Alshehri, Danish Riaz, Adan Naeem, Eman Naeem
The presence of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic ecosystem has become a pressing global concern. MPs pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems, with devastating consequences for both aquatic life and human health. Notably, freshwater ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to MPs pollution. MPs, characterized by their small size (< 5 mm), have emerged as a ubiquitous environmental pollutant. They

Evaluating microplastic contamination in Omani mangrove habitats using large mud snails (Terebralia palustris) Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-29 Muna Al-Tarshi, John Husband, Sergey Dobretsov
This study investigated microplastic pollution in the large mud snail Terebralia palustris (Linnaeus, 1767) (Gastropoda: Potamididae) inhabiting the Avicennia marina mangrove ecosystems along the Sea of Oman. A modified digestion protocol, combining two methods, was employed to improve the detection of microplastics within the snail tissue. Results indicated that 50 % of the examined snails contained

Evidence for low bioavailability of dietary nanoparticulate cerium in a freshwater food chain Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-28 Lisa A. Golding, Paul Callaghan, Brad M. Angel, Graeme E. Batley, Grant Griffiths, An Nguyen, Tom Cresswell
Radioactive 141Ce in ionic (I-Ce), nano (N-Ce, 11 ± 9 nm mean primary particle size ± standard deviation) and micron-sized (M-Ce, 530 ± 440 µm) forms associated with natural and artificial diets in natural river water and synthetic freshwater were used to measure the real-time biokinetics of dietary 141Ce assimilation in a freshwater food chain. The model food chain consisted of microalgae (Raphidocelis

Omics insights in responses of bivalves exposed to plastic pollution Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-28 Robert Mkuye, Chuangye Yang, Fortunatus Masanja, Salifu Ibrahim, Xiuyan Yang, Happiness Mwemi, Peter Mrope, Muhammed Salman, Alma Alfatat, Yuewen Deng
Plastic pollution, particularly microplastics and nanoplastics, poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems. Bivalves, vital filter feeders that accumulate plastic particles, underscore the necessity for advanced omics technologies to grasp their molecular reactions to plastic exposure.

Microplastics in commercial marine bivalves: Abundance, characterization and main effects of single and combined exposure Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-28 Daniela C.C. Silva, João C. Marques, Ana M.M. Gonçalves
Microplastics (MPs) are persistent and ubiquitous pollutants in marine ecosystems, and they can be ingested and accumulated by marine organisms with economic value to humans, such as marine bivalves, which may pose a threat to the marine food chains and to human health. In this literature review, we summarized the recent findings on the abundance and main characteristics (shape, size, color, polymer)

Mitigating oxidative stress in oyster larvae: Curcumin promotes enhanced redox balance, antioxidant capacity, development, and resistance to antifouling compounds Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-28 Heloísa Bárbara Gabe, Fernando Ramos Queiroga, Karine Amabile Taruhn, Rafael Trevisan
Curcumin (CUR) is a natural compound recognized for stimulating the expression of antioxidant genes. This characteristic has been used to promote animal health and production in aquaculture settings. We hypothesized that supplementing embryos of Crassostrea gigas oysters with CUR would improve their antioxidant capacity, development, and resilience to stress. Embryos were exposed to CUR ranging from

Neurodevelopmental toxicity and mechanism of action of monoethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) in the developing zebrafish (Danio rerio) Aquat. Toxicol. (IF 4.1) Pub Date : 2024-12-28 Chaoqiong Wu, Guanghua Mao, Xiang Ji, Yao Chen, Xin Geng, Emmanuel Sunday Okeke, Yangyang Ding, Liuqing Yang, Xiangyang Wu, Weiwei Feng
Monoethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP) is the primary metabolite of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the most prevalent phthalate plasticiser globally. It has been demonstrated that MEHP exerts more potent toxic effects than DEHP. Nevertheless, the full extent of the toxicity of MEHP to neurodevelopmental organisms remains unclear. Accordingly, the present study was designed to investigate the neurodevelopmental
