“…For the values obtained from the hepatopancreas, the individuals from the Ghannouch site also presented the highest levels (Figure 3b) of metallic trace elements, Cd (7.74 ± 0.14 µg/g), Cu (6.96 ± 0.79 µg/g), Pb (4.536 ± 0.24 µg/g), and Zn (18.14 ± 8.38 µg/g), in comparison with the contents in the tissues of the individuals from Djerba, Cd (3.18 ± 0.04 µg/g), Cu (2.91 ± 0.087 µg/g), Pb (2.212 ± 0.054 µg/g), and Zn (8.71 ± 1.03 µg/g). In fact, the statistical analyses between the two study stations showed Only Italy [29] and Turkey [30,31] have provided data on metal levels in Mediterranean Portunus segnis populations. With a few exceptions, the majority of these research analyses were performed solely on soft tissues.…”

The invasive blue crab Portunus segnis, which was collected from two sites on the Gulf of Gabès, is the subject of this work. This study is based on demonstrating the accumulation capacity of P. segnis by measuring the concentrations of cadmium, zinc, lead, and copper in the gills and hepatopancreas. The enzymatic activities of catalase, glutathione-S-transferase, reduced glutathione, and lipid peroxidase were assessed in this region for the first time. The main results show that the metals have high bioaccumulation potentials in P. segnis tissues between different sites. The possible adaptation of P. segnis in the Gulf of Gabès and the variations in the studied biomarkers and metal concentrations at different sites confirm the usefulness of the invasive blue crab as a sentinel species.

“…) are an important intertidal species in terms of both mangrove ecosystem structure and fishery production, although little is known about their cultivation, diseases and conservation (Furukawa et al 2014). Nevertheless, several studies have been carried out on their parasitic diseases, especially in crabs living in areas polluted with heavy metals (Olgunoğlu and Olgunoğlu 2016;Aris et al 2018;Hasni et al 2020). The pedunculate barnacle Octolasmis is a common crustacean that has a stalk or main stem attached to crustacean (Blomsterberg et al 2004).…”

Abstract. Nur I, Aris EA, Yusnaini Y, Beavis S. 2021. The potential use of Octolasmis spp. parasites in mud crabs Scylla spp. as a bioindicator for mercury pollution. Biodiversitas 22: 3764-3772. Artisanal small-scale gold mining and the use of mercury is widespread across Indonesia, often characterized by relatively short-lived gold rushes. In the late and post-mining phases, mercury stored in mine tailings and river beds was transported down catchment, posing risks to ecosystems and human health over much longer time scales. These risks can be under-rated when mercury concentrations in water, sediments, and aquatic species are low enough to meet relevant guideline thresholds. In this study in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, we have investigated the Costraca barnacle, Octolasmis, as a bioindicator of mercury contamination. The presence of Octolasmis parasites in mud crabs, Scylla spp., and the accumulation of mercury (Hg) in the hosts, parasites, and the ambient environment, were analyzed across both dry and wet seasons. Severe infestation of Octolasmis was assessed using prevalence, abundance, and intensity. Hg concentrations were significantly higher in the Octolasmis parasites than in the host tissues, water and sediments. The mean bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Hg equaled 7938.21 from water to parasites, and 28.91 from the host’s gill tissue to the parasites. The results suggest that Octolasmis spp. can be used effectively as a bioindicator in coastal catchments impacted by mercury contamination, even when concentrations of mercury are low in water and river sediments. The study provides the first report of Octolasmis spp. parasitized to mud crabs as a reliable bioindicator of Hg contamination and pollution.

The purpose of this research work was to detect antibiotic remnants from chicken meat and to quantify them. For this purpose, the chicken was collected from three poultry farms in Lahore Sheikhupura area. These chickens were categorized according to quality (A, B and C grade) and on the basis of the day of collection (7 th , 21 st and 35 th Growth day). The qualitative analysis was done by agar well diffusion method against B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa, E. coli and S. aureus. Analysis was done for muscles, kidney and liver samples. The highest residual potential was observed for liver extract (7 th day) while the minimum for muscle extract (35 th day). The samples with the highest zones of inhibition against pathogens were analyzed by HPLC.
