Histological Responses of The Freshwater Clam, Caelatura nilotica (Cailliaud, 1827) to Different Environmental Degrees Of Mixed Pollution

Abstract: Mixed pollution of the freshwaters is a worldwide problem; and the scientific evidence showed its impacts on the bivalves` biological processes. In the present study, the freshwater clam, Caelatura nilotica was collected from two water habitats with different degrees of pollution. Examination of gills and digestive gland using routine histology, scanning (SEM), and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy was done. In SEM investigations of the gills, deformation and erosion of cilia, clogging of gills by mucous … Show more

“…Many effects have been reported at the individual level (e.g., inhibition of the growth, reproduction, behavior, and survival) [22,24,30,36], being usually associated with causes at a molecular level, such as changes in detoxication, neurological, immunological, metabolic and antioxidant processes, biomolecules, and DNA [29,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47].…”
