“…In the wild, populations of C. latirostris continually face adverse environmental conditions, loss and degradation of their ecosystems, contamination, climatic changes, exposure to potentially pathogenic organisms, and other possibly stressful factors (Moleón Bersani, 2019). Furthermore, juveniles are particularly vulnerable to both predators and climatic factors, due to their small body size (Larriera et al, 2008); and for this reason, studies on this species are carried out using young individuals as reported by Moleón et al (2017) and López González et al (2021). However, there are usually limitations associated with the volume of the sample and number of biochemical parameters to be measured.…”

Plasma biochemistry values represent a crucial and minimally invasive tool for evaluating nutritional and physiological condition of the animal. Biochemical data provides valuable information in those species exposed to environmental stressors. In this study, we aimed to apply for the first time micro‐volume plasma tests to measured total plasma protein, albumin, and glucose in juvenile Caiman latirostris and to compare our results with other studies reporting crocodilian biochemistry values. We found that caimans from heat treatment were heavier, longer and had higher levels of glucose than those from the control group. Conversely, food restricted caimans had less growth, body condition and had 32.1% lower albumin concentrations than those from the control group. While no significant differences were observed in any parameters measured from water restricted caimans compared with control group. The values obtained for each of the biochemical determinations were lower than those previously reported for adult of C. latirostris, but similar finding for protein concentration compared with Alligator mississippiensis. Micro technique offers the advantage of increasing information and at the same time a greater physiological understanding of the crocodilians species.

Loukkos perimeter is among the most important irrigated agricultural areas in Morocco. It covers horticulture and market garden production, including potato. This crop is characterized by the intensive use of pesticides that could lead to health and ecological risks, via the food chain and contamination of natural resources, including groundwater. This study aims to assess the use of pesticides in potato cultivation and their impacts on the environment and human health. Here, pesticide use was characterized by the number of treatments (NT), quantity of active substances indicator (QASI) and the treatment frequency indicator (TFI), through eld surveys carried out on 50 Loukkos potato producers. The results showed that farmers use heavy pesticide treatments, mainly against late blight. We determined NT = 19 treatments, total TFI = 28.10 and QASI = 14.86 kg/ha. These values re ect a massive use of pesticides on this crop, which could therefore constitute a challenge and a major constraint for the development of sustainable agriculture in this zone, due to their negative environmental and health effects. It is, therefore, necessary to react quickly to make changes in phytosanitary practices with the aim to monitoring pesticide use via the agro-environmental indicators to reduce health and environmental impact of intensive pesticide use.
