“…This accumulation is likely to cause structural damages, such as the severe alterations described by Chiodi-Boudet et al (2015) in the freshwater shrimp Palaemonetes argentinus exposed during 15 days to a Cd concentration equivalent to 50% of the LC50-96h for that species. However, our result obtained with Cd levels equivalent to approximately 10% of the Wu, et al (2008), while exposure during 21 days to a higher concentration (400 µg L -1 ) resulted in highly vacuolized epithelial cells, cellular hypertrophy and tubular necrosis.…”

“…Metals are accumulated in the hepatopancreas because of its function in xenobiotic metabolism, (Wu et al, 2008). This accumulation is likely to cause structural damages, such as the severe alterations described by Chiodi-Boudet et al (2015) in the freshwater shrimp Palaemonetes argentinus exposed during 15 days to a Cd concentration equivalent to 50% of the LC50-96h for that species.…”

“…After exposure to copper, effects such as necrosis and loss of regular structure in gills and hepatopancreas, respectively, were observed by . In other studies, three weeks exposure to a mixture of metals (Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Pb and Zn) caused significant reduction of R cell and abnormal dilation of the lacunae was reported in hepatopancreas and gills, respectively , while Wu et al (2008) reported moderate vacuolization in hepatopancreas tubules when exposed to an essential metal (Zn) and Usman et al (2013) observed multiple hyperplasia in gills after exposure to lead.…”

Litopenaeus vannamei postlarvae were exposed during 4 weeks to progressively increasing sublethal concentrations of cadmium and zinc (Cd: 8.8, 24, Zn: 81, 160, ), used alone or in mixture, in order to evaluate their joint effect on survival and growth, and on the histological structure of hepatopancreas and gills of the exposed organisms. After exposure to single metals there were no differences between control and treatments in survival and growth, while survival was significantly lower with the highest concentration of the mixture. Growth was also affected and showed a significant dose-related response. No histopathologies were observed in gills of shrimps exposed to single metals, while their hepatopancreas showed moderate to severe changes during the first three weeks. With the mixture, moderate edemas were present in gills lacunae and the hepatopancreas had sloughing of epithelial cells until the third week, but no histological alterations were evident by the end of the experiment. The results of this study show a synergistic effect of the mixture Cd + Zn on survival, growth and histological structure of hepatopancreas and gills of the Pacific white shrimp L. vannamei.

“…Phytic acid binds with divalent trace minerals and reduces their availability to animals resulting in loss to the environment as waste (Cheryan, 1980;Davis et al, 1993;Davis and Gatlin, 1996;Li and Robinson, 1997;Helland et al, 2006). The lower availability of zinc from feeds could impact the growth and health of both cultured and wild populations and is an area of serious concern (Ahsanullah et al, 1981;Munsiri et al, 1996;Wu and Chen, 2005;Cheung and Wong, 2006;Wu et al, 2008;Azevedo et al, 2009;Wu and Yang, 2011;Umamaheshwari et al, 2011). The alter-native to meet the nutritional requirement for zinc in shrimp diets would be to significantly increase dietary zinc levels which would have the potential negative effect of increasing discharge of zinc into the environment.…”

A study was conducted to evaluate the response of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei to inorganic or chelated sources of dietary zinc. Two sets of diets, one supplemented with zinc from zinc sulfate (55, 80, 116, 168, 243 and 363 ppm zinc) and the other with zinc from a chelated source (methionine hydroxy analog chelate; 39, 52, 65, 78 and 104 ppm zinc) were fed to replicate groups of juvenile shrimp (N = 8; 0.4 g initial weight) for 6 wk. All experimental diets contained 1.38% phytic acid reflecting levels in typical commercial feeds. Final weight, growth rate and biomass of shrimp fed zinc sulfate supplemented diets (243 and 363 ppm total zinc) were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that in shrimp fed the base diet. In contrast, performance of shrimp fed the chelated source of zinc was significantly higher than shrimp in the control group at much lower levels of supplementation (65 and 78 ppm total zinc). Results indicate that shrimp required 3-4 times more dietary zinc from zinc sulfate than zinc from a chelated source to promote comparable growth when fed diets containing phytic acid. The chelate tested proved to be a safe, effective and available source of zinc for the Pacific white shrimp.

Cadmium, chromium, copper, and manganese concentrations were determined in hepatopancreas of both sexes as well as in eggs at different embryonic development stages of the burrowing crab Neohelice granulata (Brachyura, Varunidae) from Mar Chiquita Coastal Lagoon, a biosphere reserve from Argentina, during a period of 1 year, to assess the bioaccumulation of metals associated with sex and seasonality. Furthermore, metal levels in associated superficial sediment samples were also determined. Two different "cangrejales," one in a mudflat and another one in a salt marsh, were studied. The results showed high concentrations of copper within the hepatopancreas, which was considered a strong reflection of high exposure of N. granulata to this metal. Metal accumulation in hepatopancreas from both study sites and sexes did not present significant differences, as did seasonality. In this sense, both spring and summer metal levels in hepatopancreas were the greatest. Eggs did not present differences in metal accumulation, with the exception of manganese, between sites or between crabs at different embryonic stages. For this metal, eggs from female crabs inhabiting mudflats showed higher levels than those from inhabiting salt marshes. Moreover, eggs in the late embryonic stage also showed the highest manganese concentrations. Metal levels in sediments, however, were similar in both sites. These are the first results of metal level in biota and sediments in this particular environment. Such results could be used as a baseline for the monitoring of metal levels in future studies in Mar Chiquita Coastal Lagoon.
