“…Os estudos sobre os níveis de OCPs no ambiente são prioritários devido a persistência e o risco que representam para o ambiente aquático, mesmo após décadas de proibição (OLIVEIRA et al, 2016). Já os éteres difenílicos polibromados (PBDEs) são compostos que possuem propriedades tóxicas cuja principal fonte para o ambiente são os retardadores de chama adicionados a vários produtos manufaturados para conter a ignição (VAEZZADEH et al, 2021;VIÑAS et al, 2018).…”

Os bivalves são filtradores, bentônicos, em sua maioria sésseis, e durante seu ciclo de vida podem acumular substâncias presentes na água, independente da importância nutricional. Essas características fazem com que os bivalves sejam muito utilizados como biomonitores ambientais. Este trabalho apresenta revisão de literatura (2016-2021) sobre a utilização dos bivalves como biomonitores ambientais. Além de diagnósticos sobre a presença de substâncias contaminantes no ambiente (metais, semimetais, poluentes orgânicos persistentes, componentes farmacêuticos, e microplásticos), o biomonitoramento ambiental por meio de bivalves permite avaliar alterações de parâmetros da água, tais como alcalinidade e temperatura. A análise da literatura disponível revelou que a viabilidade de utilização desses animais no monitoramento ambiental depende dos fatores a serem monitorados e da espécie selecionada.

“…A pool of about 10 g of whole soft tissue (corresponding to 5-6 mussels) was used for chemical characterisation and quantification of PAHs. The following PAHs were quantified in mussels from both pristine and polluted sites: Phenanthrene (Phe following HPLC with fluorescence detection and with the use of reference materials for quality assurance as described in detail elsewhere (Viñas et al, 2018). The limit of quantification was 0.25 ng/g wet weight (w.w.).…”

“…This raises concerns regarding the toxicological consequences of those compounds on aquatic wildlife and cultured species (Nilsen et al, 2019;Tornero and Hanke, 2016). Legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are among the chemicals that are most commonly quantified to trace anthropogenic pollution (Viñas et al, 2012;Viñas et al, 2018). Nonetheless, there is a broad range of new drugs, known as emerging contaminants or contaminants of environmental concern, which have been more recently introduced into the wastewater systems and are likely to cause long term chronic effects (Fabbri and Franzellitti, 2016;Mezzelani et al, 2018).…”

Mussels are worldwide bioindicators in pollution monitoring since they fulfil the requirements for being good sentinels. However, some methodological concerns arise in the use of particular biomarkers, particularly those displaying low enzymatic rates and/or limited responsiveness to chemicals and biological-related variability. In the present study, the suitability of oxidative stress and detoxification parameters when using mussels as sentinels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) pollution is addressed. Present results show that the S9 subcellular fraction of the digestive gland in mussels is an adequate and convenient matrix where to measure most pollution related biomarkers. Furthermore, this work constitutes the first evidence of the potential suitability of using particular carboxylesterase (CE) activities in determining PAHs exposure in mussels. This fact could imply the replacement of more controversial cytochrome P450 components (phase I oxidation), which are only measurable in microsomal fractions, by CEs (measured in S9 fractions) as good alternatives for phase I reactions in PAH-exposed mussels. Some methodological considerations, such as the need of including commercial purified proteins in biomarker determinations for quality assurance, are evaluated.

“…Patella caerulea is a common seaweed grazing marine limpet in all Mediterranean rocky shores [25]. As a result of their wide distribution, abundance, and sedentary lifestyle, limpets of this species have been proposed as biomonitors for the local water quality in terms of heavy metal accumulation and organic pollutants [26,27]. In addition, limpets are keystone species for the coastal ecosystem because they regulate the degree of algal coverage and, consequently, succession processes in rocky intertidal communities [26][27][28].…”

Impact of Marine Aquaculture on the Microbiome Associated with Nearby Holobionts: The Case of Patella caerulea Living in Proximity of Sea Bream Aquaculture Cages

et al. 2021

Aquaculture plays a major role in the coastal economy of the Mediterranean Sea. This raises the issue of the impact of fish cages on the surrounding environment. Here, we explore the impact of aquaculture on the composition of the digestive gland microbiome of a representative locally dwelling wild holobiont, the grazer gastropod Patella caerulea, at an aquaculture facility located in Southern Sicily, Italy. The microbiome was assessed in individuals collected on sea bream aquaculture cages and on a rocky coastal tract located about 1.2 km from the cages, as the control site. Patella caerulea microbiome variations were explained in the broad marine metacommunity context, assessing the water and sediment microbiome composition at both sites, and characterizing the microbiome associated with the farmed sea bream. The P. caerulea digestive gland microbiome at the aquaculture site was characterized by a lower diversity, the loss of microorganisms sensitive to heavy metal contamination, and by the acquisition of fish pathogens and parasites. However, we also observed possible adaptive responses of the P. caerulea digestive gland microbiome at the aquaculture site, including the acquisition of putative bacteria able to deal with metal and sulfide accumulation, highlighting the inherent microbiome potential to drive the host acclimation to stressful conditions.
