“…3d). Furthermore the ultrastructure observation indicated that quantity of yolk granules in exposed samples decreased significantly during the oocyte degenerating which suggested that oocyte degeneration caused by PAHs exposure could be a reason for vitellogenin-like protein levels variation reported in mussels M. edulis and D. polymorpha (Aarab et al, 2004;Lafontaine et al, 2000). A long-term and low-dose effect of PAHs needs to be further studied to examine the endocrine effects and the mechanisms of PAH impact on bivalve reproductive systems.…”

“…Binelli et al (2004) reported degenerating oocytes in relation to spawning delay in the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) exposed to DDT. Numerous degenerating ovarian follicles and atretic oocytes have also been observed in female mussels (Mytilus edulis) after exposure to bisphenol A (50 lg L À1 ), (1 lg L À1 ), North Sea oil (0.5 mg L À1 ) and a mixture of North Sea oil (0.5 mg L À1 ), alkyphenols (0.1 mg L À1 ) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (0.1 mg L À1 ) for three weeks (Aarab et al, 2004(Aarab et al, , 2006. These results indicated dramatic toxic effects on reproductive tissues in relation to environmental toxicants.…”

To investigate the biological impact of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on reproductive system, scallops Chlamys farreri were continuously exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) (0.5, 3, 10microgL(-1)) during 15 days. DNA damage and histological alterations were examined in female gonad. DNA strand break levels significantly increased after 12h exposure, and remained high and significantly different from control values until the end of the exposure. In the ovaries of the scallops exposed to 10microgL(-1) BaP for ten days, histological analysis showed that the cytoplasts of the oocytes in the outer layer of the ovaries became sparse, and the nuclear membranes were obscure. Damaging effects on ovaries and oocytes were more severe after 15 days exposure. Degenerating oocytes increased and the connective tissue of the ovary envelops became loose. Electron microscopic examination revealed ultrastructural aspects of degenerating oocyte and degenerated oocyte after 15 days exposure.

“…Some of the most recent marine field studies utilizing biomarkers in bivalves for detecting and quantifying PAH pollution are presented in this chapter as well as in Table 3 (selected works after 2008 are depicted in Table 3). M. edulis has been used for biomonitoring studies in Norway (Aarab et al 2004(Aarab et al , 2008(Aarab et al , 2011; a suite of different biomarkers on their natural populations revealed differences between a previous aluminum smelter (encumbered by PAH) and a reference site. Furthermore, a real-time evaluation of a treatment system installed on an oil exploitation platform was made possible with the use of NR retention time and MN formation in sentinel M. edulis mussels (Brooks et al 2011;Sundt et al 2011).…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are broad environmental contaminants, which, due to their lipophilic profile, tend to be absorbed on particles and finally accumulate in marine environments. Due to their cumulative power of adsorption, bivalves are major bioindicators of PAH pollution. Substantial research has been performed on the effects of PAH pollution on marine bivalves. Here we review PAH analysis using bivalves and effects of PAH on bivalves. Specific focus is given on: (1) PAH analytical methodologies and their performance, (2) levels of marine PAH as measured through bivalves within the last decade; current pollution status and (3) health effects of PAH on bivalves.

Manila clam, Ruditapes philippinarum (SL; 32.74 ± 2.18 mm, TW; 8.29 ± 1.41 g, N; 450) were exposed to various concentrations of naphthalene for 20 weeks. Exposure concentrations of naphthalene established control, solvent control (ethanol), 30, 60, 90 and 120 μg Nap L -1 following results of 96h acute exposure. After exposure during 20 weeks, survival rate of the manila clam was lowed in 60, 90 and 120 μg Nap L -1 exposure group compared control group. Also, sex ratio of male was higher in 60 μg Nap L -1 exposure group (χ2 = 5.492, P < 0.05) but lowed 90 μg Nap L -1 exposure group (χ2 = 4.214, P < 0.05) and 120 μg Nap L-1 exposure group (χ2 = 30.118, P < 0.05). Gonad development was delayed in female (> 60 μg Nap L -1 ) and male (> 30 μg Nap L -1 ). Intersex was 16.28% in female, 1.68% in male. In this result, naphthalene caused survival decrease, imbalance of sex ratio, delay of gonad development of the manila clam. Also, chronic exposure to naphthalene suggested abnormal effects in reproduction of the manila clam.
