The extent of the widespread, planetary contamination by plastic waste is difficult to fully capture. Nanoplastics (NPs) are currently in center research concerning litter, both for analytical challenges they pose and their potential provoke hazardous effects organisms. However, there still many unanswered questions this multidisciplinary field, with a crucial missing piece being quantification NPs fish tissues after vivo exposures. Another relevant question that greatly unexplored how...
Polystyrene nanoplastics are internalized in zebrafish liver cells, accumulating lysosomes, and larvae but do not affect the larval suvival to a lethal infection.
Nanoplastics (NPs) can cross cellular membranes and affect performance. This study aims to determine the effects of polystyrene NPs (PS-NPs, 44 nm) on gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) exposed for 14 days 100 μg/L PS-NPs. The results show that biometric indicators (weight, length, Fulton's condition factor, hepatosomatic index) were not affected after experimental exposures. No significant observed white blood cell count, red mean corpuscular hemoglobin, or platelets compared control group....
Nanoplastics (NPs) are currently a main concern for environmental, animal and human health due to their potential accumulate in different environmental compartments provoke effects living organisms.
Skin mucus is a non-lethal and low-invasive matrix appropriate to assess fish welfare as it contributes their defence against external aggressions reflects changes in health status. However, more information on the response of this specific stressors needed. In study, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) specimens were subjected an acute stress by air exposure sampled after 1, 6, 24 h post-stress. Blood skin collected, battery biochemical biomarkers measured both matrices. Cortisol glucose...
In the marine environment, a new threat linked to plastic pollution relates additives. This encompasses multiple chemical compound groups with high bioaccumulation potential for these mixtures. Hence, informative biomarkers are needed indicate effects of environmentally realistic mixtures study proposes an in vitro approach using tissue homogenates two fish, European sea bass and hake, which both interest aquaculture fisheries. The selected B-esterase activities comprising...
Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs;<5 mm 1 µm, respectively), are contaminants of emerging concern representing a major part global plastic pollution, due to their ubiquity both in natural urbanised environments. Although environmental concentrations these pollutants have been measured variety matrices, information on the occurrence MNPs recirculated aquaculture system (RAS) farms, is scarce. The present study aimed investigate presence commercial European RAS farm, by identifying occurring...
Environmental insults, such as exposure to pathogens, modulate the behavioural coping style of animals stressors, and repeated stressful environments may lead species-specific infection phenotypes. To analyse influence stress phenotypes on immune metabolic performance, gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) were first screened for proactive reactive styles. Once characterized, both fish groups bath vaccinated with bacterin from Vibrio anguillarum, an opportunistic widespread pathogen fish....
The bulk of plastic pollution is mainly composed small fragments, micro- and nanoplastics (NPs). Although many studies are currently published on NPs, research the effects NPs in fish after a chronic exposure still scarce. present study aimed to validate series automated assays be used monitoring challenged with using Carassius auratus (goldfish) as model species. For this purpose, adult C. were exposed 100 µg/L polystyrene (PS)-NPs for 30-day period. Total oxidative status (TOS), total...
