The effect of cooking (barbecue-grilling, boiling, microwaving, oven and frying) on lipids, fatty acids (FAs) lipid quality indices the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis was investigated. In general, all processing methods significantly (p < 0.05) modified acid profiles mussels, although with major changes in fried samples, which exhibited lowest saturated n-3 highest polyunsaturated (PUFA) n-6 FAs content. A significant decrease PUFA from raw sample to five observed. n-3/n-6 ratio...

Glyphosate-based formulations are the most commonly used herbicides worldwide with risk of potential contamination aquatic bodies. The present study assessed response four marine crustaceans to three different brands Roundup®Platinum, Efesto® and Taifun® MK CL.T, under two selected temperatures 20 °C 30 °C. harpacticoid copepod Tigriopus fulvus, anostracan Artemia franciscana, amphipod Corophium insidiosum isopod Sphaeroma serratum were chosen as testing organisms. Effects by estimating...

The objective of the present study was to determine lipid content, fatty acid composition and recommended daily portion 13 fish species, nine bivalves, six crustacean, three echinoderm cephalopod from Mediterranean Sea (Southern Italy). Fatty acids profile varied significantly among species (p < .05); polyunsaturated represented an important proportion, with docosahexaenoic eicosapentaenoic in highest amount. A high n3/n6 ratio found all (from 1.0 body wall Holothuria polii H. tubulosa 10.9...
This study provides information on biological (gonadosomatic index), commercial quality (condition index and meat yield) biochemical aspects (proximate composition, fatty acids) of the soft tissues Flexopecten glaber reared in suspended cages Ionian Sea. The results showed that condition (CI) yield (MY) peaked December (60 30%, respectively) April, May June (from 53 to 60% for CI from 34 36% MY). Gonadosomatic three main peaks winter, spring summer months. Contents protein 8.18-11.9 g/100...
Abstract Due to the continuous development, production and consumption of nanoparticles (NPs), their release, fate effects in marine coastal environment can represent a major concern. The aim this study was evaluate toxicity ZnO (ZnO NPs) compare it bulk ZnSO 4 on three macroinvertebrates: isopod Cymodoce truncata (i.e. used for first time ecotoxicology), amphipod Gammarus aequicauda sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus . This showed concentration- time-dependent relationships all biological...

Caprella scaura is an epifaunal amphipod crustacean that originates in the western Indian Ocean and has spread throughout world, but very little known about fundamental aspects of its biology.This paper first presentation life history traits invaded region.The study was conducted Mar Piccolo basin (southern Italy, Ionian Sea), over a one-year period.All biological parameters showed strong seasonal pattern, breeding peaked twice during year number eggs ventral brood pouch ranged from 5 to...
AbstractThe toxicities of copper, cadmium, and mercury ions their binary ternary mixtures were studied using the copepods Tigriopus fulvus. The LC50 values measured after 48 h exposure to single metal solutions revealed a rank as follows: Cd<Cu<Hg. Results from mathematical approaches predict toxicity all possible Cu, Cd, Hg compared observed these T. combined effect metals was found be antagonistic for Cu‒Cd, Hg‒Cd, Cu‒Cd‒Hg, additive Hg‒Cu.Keywords: heavy metalsinteraction effectstigriopus...
There is a recognised need to integrate multiple toxicity data deriving from battery bioassays into an easily understandable and single value, which may facilitate the decision-making process related management of contaminated sediments. In this study, two integration results systems were applied compared: classification system (TCS) Toxicity Test Battery integrated Index (TBI). The quality sediments Taranto seas (Mar Grande Mar Piccolo) was assessed by five test species representing...
This study provides for the first time an evaluation of natural availability scallop seeds along coastal area Taranto (Mediterranean Sea, Southern Italy). To select best artificial collectors to harvest in this area, cylindrical (Cyl) were compared traditional 'Japanese-style onion bags' (Bag) across three sites. Scallops represented 26.6% total bivalve recruitment among all (782 ± 331 ind. m−2). The most recruited scallops Flexopecten glaber and Mimachlamys varia. white (F. glaber) black...
Cooking effect (grilling - barbecue, oven-cooking, frying, boiling and microwaving) on lipid fatty acids (FAs) in mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis fish Trachurus trachurus was investigated. The levels of priority PAHs were also evaluated as well the potential risk associated with their consumption. increased content, reaching highest value fried product 13.2 5.6 g/100 g fish, respectively. n-3/n-6 ranged from 0.15 to 5.31 0.29 5.35 mackerel. In both species, frying oven-cooking negatively...
Pharmaceuticals can be considered a global threat to aquatic ecosystems due their pseudo-persistence and potential toxicity towards non-target species. Amoxicillin (AMX) carbamazepine (CBZ) mixture (1:1) were investigated on the marine copepod Tigriopus fulvus (Fischer, 1860) considering both acute chronic endpoints. While exposure did not directly affect survival, reproductive endpoints affected like mean egg hatching time that was significantly longer than negative control for treatments...
The fat content and fatty acid profile of commercially important scallops Flexopecten glaber, Mimachlamys varia, Pecten jacobaeus were investigated in samples adductor muscle, gonad, mantle, viscera. viscera showed the highest lipid all species examined. Significant differences found composition among tissues scallops. All pectinids exhibited high levels eicosapentaenoic docosahexaenoic acids with a maximum value 211 mg/100 g tissue 252 F. glaber. Highest n3/n6 ratios recorded glaber gonad...
The consumption of seafood has considerably increased over recent decades; however, as wild stocks are limited, the cultured ones represent a possible valuable alternative. purpose this study was to compare and scallops, Flexopecten glaber, on basis their marketability indices biochemical characteristics. Wild specimens were harvested from Ionian Sea (the Central Mediterranean Sea). Protein lipid significantly different between with values protein 8.50 11.6 g/100 g 1.45 1.70 for...
