“…Carcinus maenas and Pachygrapsus marmoratus (Crustacean, Decapoda) are key components of estuarine and coastal trophic networks [ 16 , 17 ]. Therefore, these species are recognised as a sentinel to analyse the bioaccumulation of inorganic and organic pollutants [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Carcinus maenas is a native species from the East Atlantic Ocean, but also an invader species in the West Atlantic and Pacific Oceans [ 19 ].…”

“…Their biology, ecology, and genetics are well documented and contribute to their suitability as research subjects in this field [ 16 , 19 ]. This species is recognised as a sentinel in ecotoxicology [ 22 ]. We sampled 18 C. maenas and 15 P. marmoratus on the foreshore of Noirmoutier en l’île (Latitude: 47°02′50″ N, Longitude: −2°24′92″ W, Figure 1 ).…”

Caffeine is one of the most consumed substances by humans through foodstuffs (coffee, tea, drugs, etc.). Its human consumption releases a high quantity of caffeine into the hydrological network. Thus, caffeine is now considered an emergent pollutant sometimes found at high concentrations in oceans and seas. Surprisingly, little research has been conducted on the molecular responses induced by caffeine in marine organisms. We studied, in laboratory conditions, six phylogenetically distant species that perform distinct ecological functions (Actinia equina and Aulactinia verrucosa (cnidarians, predator), Littorina littorea (gastropod, grazer), Magallana gigas (bivalve, filter-feeder), and Carcinus maenas and Pachygrapsus marmoratus (crabs, predator and scavenger)) subjected to caffeine exposure. The antioxidant responses (catalase, CAT; glutathione peroxidase, GPx; superoxide dismutase, SOD), lipid peroxidation (MDA), and the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were estimated when the organisms were exposed to environmental caffeine concentrations (5 μg/L (low), 10 μg/L (high)) over 14 days. Differential levels of responses and caffeine effects were noted in the marine invertebrates, probably in relation to their capacity to metabolization the pollutant. Surprisingly, the filter feeder (M. gigas, oyster) did not show enzymatic responses or lipid peroxidation for the two caffeine concentrations tested. The marine gastropod (grazer) appeared to be more impacted by caffeine, with an increase in activities for all antioxidative enzymes (CAT, GPx, SOD). In parallel, the two cnidarians and two crabs were less affected by the caffeine contaminations. However, caffeine was revealed as a neurotoxic agent to all species studied, inducing high inhibition of AChE activity. This study provides new insights into the sublethal impacts of caffeine at environmentally relevant concentrations in marine invertebrates.

In the present study, the analysis of seasonal variations in biomarkers of neurotoxicity (Acetylcholinesterase) and the antioxidant system (catalase and glutathione-s-transferase) in the crustaceans Callinectes sapidus and Aratus pisonii collected in the mangrove of the Perequê river was carried out, to evaluate the environmental quality of this ecosystem. Collections were carried out in different seasons of the year. The tissues sampled were gills, hepatopancreas and nerve ganglion. The results indicated high levels of catalase and acetylcholinesterase mainly in autumn, in contrast, in this period there was a significant decrease in the enzyme glutathione-s-transferase, assuming a higher concentration of contaminants in this period. Furthermore, the results suggest possible signs of environmental degradation, which could cause damage to the health of local biota. In this way, the data presented in this study provide support to the scientific community regarding the health of the studied environment, and can assist in monitoring and managing the site.
