“…This species is a decapod (crustacean) that is widely available in the aquarium industry as pets, aquatic plant cleaners, and fish bait. They are well-known to rapidly spread and expand their population in freshwater ecosystems [ 47 ]. N. denticulata has much potential to become a crustacean ecotoxicological model.…”

As a nicotinoid neurotoxic insecticide, imidacloprid (IMI) works by disrupting nerve transmission via nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Although IMI is specifically targeting insects, nontarget animals such as the freshwater shrimp, Neocaridina denticulata, could also be affected, thus causing adverse effects on the aquatic environment. To investigate IMI toxicity on nontarget organisms like N. denticulata, their physiology (locomotor activity, heartbeat, and gill ventilation) and biochemical factors (oxidative stress, energy metabolism) after IMI exposure were examined. IMI exposure at various concentrations (0.03125, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 ppm) to shrimp after 24, 48, 72 h led to dramatic reduction of locomotor activity even at low concentrations. Meanwhile, IMI exposure after 92 h caused reduced heartbeat and gill ventilation at high concentrations. Biochemical assays were performed to investigate oxidative stress and energy metabolism. Interestingly, locomotion immobilization and cardiac activity were rescued after acetylcholine administration. Through molecular docking, IMI demonstrated high binding affinity to nAChR. Thus, locomotor activity and heartbeat in shrimp after IMI exposure may be caused by nAChR blockade and not alterations caused by oxidative stress and energy metabolism. To summarize, N. denticulata serves as an excellent and sensitive aquatic invertebrate model to conduct pesticide toxicity assays that encompass physiologic and biochemical examinations.

“…As a result of intentional or unintentional releases from pet traders, N. davidi representatives are present also in waters outside its native range. Originally occurred in South-East Asia (Klotz et al, 2013), N. davidi representatives have colonised new locations in temperate, subtropical and tropical zones around the world as an alien species (Englund and Cai, 1999;Mitsugi et al, 2018;Levitt-Barmats et al, 2019;Onuki, 2021). Effects of their uncontrolled releases have been described in European natural and commercially induced thermal waterbodies in Germany, Poland and Hungary (Klotz et al, 2013;Jabłońska et al, 2018a;Weiperth et al, 2019).…”

This contribution presents the first record of ornamental shrimp epibiont, Scutariella japonica (Platyhelminthes: Temnocephalida) in European waters. The species lives on freshwater Atyidae shrimp from temperate, subtropical and tropical zones of South-East Asia. In total, 120 individuals of Neocaridina davidi shrimp were caught in thermally polluted canal of Oder river, near the city of Gryfino, in the northwest part of Poland. In that group, 5.83% were infected with scutariellids. Among shrimp, females were mostly infected (85.71%). Since ornamental shrimp released into thermally polluted water bodies have been also noticed in surrounding waters of natural temperature regime in Europe, S. japonica may spread further following potential expansion of the Neocaridina shrimp in Oder river. It is possible that other crustaceans, both native and alien which are present at this location, may also become vectors of this epibiont.

“…With increasing global temperature and the thriving pet trade, other crustaceans, such as warm-adapted ornamental freshwater shrimps, when released into the natural environment, may in the near future have the potential of becoming invasive species. The recent discovery of stable populations of ornamental shrimps outside their native range seems to point in this direction (Mitsugi & Suzuki 2018;Schoolmann & Arndt 2018;Levitt-Barmats et al 2019).…”

The present contribution is the first record of ornamental freshwater shrimp Caridina babaulti from European open waters and the first evidence of introduction outside its native range. Among 120 non-native freshwater shrimps collected in Miskolctapolca, Hungary, seven individuals (5.8%) were identified as C. babaulti and included one ovigerous female, while the others (94.2%) were Neocaridina davidi. Morphological analysis and the Standard DNA Barcoding Procedure confirmed the taxonomic identification of the two species. The presence of C. babaulti in Miskolctapolca is most likely due to intentional or unintentional releases by aquarium owners. The low number of captured individuals and this species' absence in a previous survey suggest that the shrimp is of recent introduction. C. babaulti and the well-established N. davidi have similar environmental tolerance; hence, this species might potentially form a viable population if not removed.
