“…The large vacuole in the cell compels the nucleus in a lateral position and this condition is usually correlated with nuclear atrophy [13]. Dilatation of hepatic sinusoids is probably indicating the increased blood volume received by the liver to detoxify the organism [14].…”

ABSTARCTBackground: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as phenanthrene (Phe) represent one of the most abundant forms of organic pollutants. The aim of this study was to assess changes in plasma levels of aminotransferase enzymes, total protein and liver tissue as biomarkers of yellowfin seabream (Acanthopagrus latus) exposed to Phe for 14 d. Methods:The research was carried out in January 2016 at Khorramshahr University of Marine Sciences and Technology, Khorramshahr, Iran. Some 72 fish were injected with 2, 20, 40 and 70 mg/kg of Phe. Then tissue and blood samples were obtained at 1, 4, 7 and 14 d after injection. Results:Exposure of fish to Phe resulted in a significant increase of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and decrease of total protein after 7 d of the experiment (P<0.05). The main histopathological alteration was showed in different sampling days including nucleus margination, hypertrophy, vacuolation, melanomacrophages aggregates, sinusoid dilation, degeneration and picnotic nucleus. Degree of tissue change (DTC) of liver was recorded in the Phe-exposed fish from normal range to moderate changes. Conclusion:The studied biomarkers such as changes in concentrations of ALT, AST and total protein as well as tissue damages in liver may be served as beneficial biomarker to assess Phe toxicity in yellowfin seabream.

“…WSF stock solutions were siphoned into autoclaved, acid-rinsed glass containers and diluted with uncontaminated seawater at 'high' (1%), 'medium' (0.1%) and 'low' (0.01%) concentrations. The water-soluble fraction of oil and their derivatives products contain a mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), monoaromatic hydrocarbons often referred to as BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes), phenols and heterocyclic compounds, containing nitrogen and sulphur (Saeed & Al-Mutairi, 1999;Elordui-Zapatarietxe et al, 2008;Rodrigues et al, 2010).…”

“…More specifically, among those compounds, BTEX are the main class of hydrocarbons found in WSF (Carls & Rice, 1990;Saeed & Al-Mutairi, 1999), and naphthalene is one of the most abundant polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons dissolved in oil contaminated waters (Corner et al, 1976) and has been widely used in toxicological assays (Corner et al, 1976;Berdugo et al, 1977;Calbet et al, 2007). BTEX and naphthalene concentrations are respectively in the range 450-35000 g l -1 and 30-26000 g l -1 in 100% water-soluble fraction (Saeed & AlMutairi, 1999;Rodrigues et al, 2010). The 'high' (1%), 'medium' (0.1%) and 'low' (0.01%) concentrations used in the present work hence correspond to concentrations in the range 4.5-350 g l -1 , 0.45-35 g l -1 and 0.045-3.5 g l -1 for BTEX, and 0.3-260 g l -1 , 0.03-26 g l -1 and 0.003-2.6 g l -1 for naphthalene.…”

“…This oil derivate exhibits low solubility in water, and the water-soluble fraction contains several toxic constituents like hydrocarbons and metals. The water-soluble fraction (WSF) of crude oil and their derivatives products contains a mixture of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), monoaromatic hydrocarbons often referred to as BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes), phenols and heterocyclic compounds, containing nitrogen and sulfur (Saeed & Al-Mutairi, 1999), and also heavy metals (Rodrigues et al, 2010). The most frequently metals found in the diesel oil and lubrificant oils were copper and nickel (Silveira et al, 2006).…”

Diesel oil can be a source of contamination in aquatic environments, mainly as a result of spills. The effects of the watersoluble fraction of diesel (WSF) on Prochilodus vimboides were assessed. Fish were exposed to three different WSF dilutions for up to 96 h and were compared to a control group. Damages in the fragments of DNA were analyzed using the Comet assay. The presence of erytrocyts abnormalities was assessed by micronucleus test. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity and the accumulation of copper in gills were also analyzed. Fish exposed for 96 h had higher rates of damage than those exposed for 24 h. There was no significant difference regarding the presence of micronuclei between exposed and control fish and between 24-h and 96-h exposures. For AST, no significant difference was observed between samples collected at the two exposure times. Fish exposed to a 1:100 dilution of WSF showed higher activity of the enzyme ALT than the control fish after a 24-h exposure period. There was no bioaccumulation of copper in the gills. We conclude that the genotoxic effects of WSF in the cells are more evident in P. vimboides during an acute exposure.O óleo diesel pode ser uma fonte de contaminação em ambientes aquáticos, principalmente como resultado de derrames acidentais. Foram avaliados os efeitos da fração solúvel do óleo diesel (FSO) em Prochilodus vimboides. Os peixes foram expostos a três diferentes diluições da FSO por até 96 horas e comparados com um grupo controle. Os danos nos fragmentos de DNA foram analisados utilizando o ensaio Cometa. A presença de anormalidades nos eritrócitos foi avaliada pelo teste do micronúcleo. A atividade da Aspartato aminotransferase (AST) e alanina aminotransferase (ALT) e da acumulação de cobre nas brânquias também foram analisados. Os peixes expostos por 96 h tiveram maiores taxas de danos do que aqueles expostos por 24 h. Não houve diferença significativa quanto à presença de micronúcleos entre os peixes expostos e controle e entre 24 e 96 h exposições. Para AST, não foi observada diferença significativa entre as amostras coletadas em dois tempos de exposição. Os peixes expostos a uma diluição de 1:100 do FSO apresentaram maior atividade da enzima ALT do que os peixes do controle após um período de exposição de 24 horas. Não houve bioacumulação de cobre nas brânquias. Os efeitos genotóxicos nas células foram os mais evidentes em P. vimboides durante a exposição aguda a FSO.
