“…This allows occupation of estuaries that fluctuate in salinity as a result of freshwater inputs and tidal flows. Estuaries are also key locations for the concentration of aquatic contaminants such as dissolved metals, and Carcinus has been shown to be relatively tolerant of common estuarine toxicants [1][2][3]. Environmental concentrations of dissolved amino acids in seawater are in the range 0.1-1 mM, while in estuaries measured concentrations of amino acids can be as high as 1-2 mM [4,5].…”

Estuaries are environments enriched with dissolved nutrients such as amino acids. To date, marine arthropods are the only invertebrate group that have not been demonstrated to access this potentially important nutrient resource. Using gill perfusion techniques, we sought to investigate the ability of the green shore crab () to take up the amino acid l-leucine directly from the water. Investigation of the concentration-dependent transport kinetics of radiolabelled l-leucine showed that there are two specific transport pathways across gills, one with high affinity and low capacity, and the other with high capacity and low affinity. Using putative competitive substrates and reduced sodium preparations, we were able to identify the putative amino acid transport system associated with high-affinity uptake. This is the first study to demonstrate the absorption of dissolved organic nutrients across the gill epithelium of a marine arthropod.

“…У зв'язку із цим для повного уявлення про особливості клітинних ритмів у ранньому ембріогенезі тварин проаналізовано динаміку трансмембранного потенціалу не лише за нормальних умов розвитку, а і за дії гормонів (Sanagursky & Goyda, 1980). Найпоширеніші забруднювачі не лише водних екосистеміони важких металів та їх сполук, серед яких найчастіше зустрічають кобальт, нікель, залізо, цинк, мідь, кадмій (Gevorgyan et al, 2016;Blewett & Leonard, 2017). Ці речовини токсичні, біоакумулюються (Jitar et al, 2015) та залишаються у довкіллі упродовж тривалого часу (Marzan et al, 2017).…”

“…Численні літературні дані вказують, що іони важких металів здатні викликати порушення ембріонального розвитку у різних видах організмів, наприклад, безхребетних (Sisman, 2011;Gallo et al, 2016;Gallo, 2018), риб (Blewett et al, 2016;Blewett & Leonard, 2017), чи молюсків (Ringwood et al, 2010). Наслідками негативного впливу на метаболічні процеси в ембріогенезі, зумовлені іонами нікелю, кобальту, олова та цинку, стали сповільнення розвитку (Behra, 1993;Blewett & Leonard, 2017), виникнення морфологічних та функціональних аномалій (Dineley et al, 2003;Hwang et al, 2012;Tualla & Bitacura, 2016), або смерті зародка (Cavas, 2008;Cai et al, 2012;Kucukoglu et al, 2013).…”

“…За наявності іонів нікелю та кобальту в середовищах інкубації бластомери в'юна, максимального достовірного значення кроскореляція набирала за нульового лага. Пояснення цього факту полягає в тому, що нікель порушує іонний обмін (Blewett & Leonard, 2017). За дії нікелю на ембріони морських їжаків Strongylocentrotus purpuratus виявлено зниження концентрації калію та підвищення рівня натрію, що вказує на інгібування Na + ,K + -AТРази (Tellis et al, 2014).…”

Germ cells of aquatic organisms are complex systems whose growth and development depends on many factors, one of which is the composition of the aquatic environment. We used parameters in our analysis from aggregate data available from published literature. They are data of the transmembrane potential of the germinal cells of Misgurnus fossilis (Linnaeus, 1758) at the development stage from 180th to 360th minutes. Embryos were incubated in an environment with nickel, cobalt, tin, and zinc ions and without them. Plotted lines of the transmembrane potential were digitized and calibrated at intervals of 10 minutes. Rows of numerical values of the transmembrane potentials were obtained. These rows were used for calculation of autocorrelation and cross-cross-correlation functions. It was established that the transmembrane potential describes nonperiodic and quasi-periodic oscillations. The higher statistically significant values of the autocorrelation coefficients were observed in the first lags. Autocorrelation analysis indicates that the periods of oscillations of the transmembrane potential increase with the action of nickel, cobalt, tin and zinc on the germ. The phenomena and processes that occur in the germ cell are well reflected at the initial stages of the auto-correction and are lost when the magnitude of the lag increases. The degree of similarity of transmembrane potentials with the help of cross-correlation analysis is quantitatively characterized. The distribution of fluctuations of cross-correlation functions with complex dynamics, which arise with time shifts both in the forward and reverse directions, were established. It is established that for large values of time shifts, the cross-correlation coefficient is a low-informative indicator, since information about the influence of the factor on the living system is lost. A graph for a given time shift was constructed. The connection between the nodes is the magnitude of the cross-correlation coefficients between the vapor of the transmembrane potentials, which indicate the degree of similarity of the bioelectric processes. Graphs will be used for qualitative and quantitative study of system dynamics. The obtained results confirm the existence of a close relationship between environmental nickel, cobalt, tin, and zinc and the oscillation of transmembrane potential during early embryogenesis.

“…It has been established by research that toxic metals from antifouling paint particles [1], microcystin-LR (MCLR) and copper (Cu) [2], dietary or water borne cadmium (Cd) [3], silver (Ag) nanoparticles from antibacterial agents [4], nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) from coal mining [5] are polluting aquatic environment and ultimately, it is harming the dependents of water such marine life even human beings. Recently, it has been investigated the Ni toxicity in marine and estuarine invertebrates and fish [6], mercury (Hg) concentration in sharks [7], toxicity of Cu and chromium (Cr) nanoparticles to Daphnia magna [8]. Similarly, due to large scale usage of chemicals in various human activities, industrialization, and also for population [9] growth, Bangladesh is going to a victim from water pollution.…”

The objective of this research is to reveal the pollution level and its impact on fresh water fish and finally, to estimate the concentration (ppm) of toxic metals chromium (Cr) (53.9 ppm) and lead (Pb) (13.2 ppm) in raw waste water (100%) and in fish (heteropneustes fossilis) (Cr 3.4 ppm, and Pb 2.0 ppm) by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS). Fresh tannery effluent is collected from Hazaribag-Dhaka and as early as possible some physicochemical parameters of that effluent such as Electrical Conductivity (EC) (535 ms/cm) and pH (6.1), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) (30336 ppm), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) (2.0 ppm), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) (9480 ppm) are determined. Pisi-culture is done by constructing some pilot base fresh water systems in the laboratory and it has been found that in raw waste water (100%), the fish survival rate is only a few hours (5h), where in rest of others such as 75%, 50%, 25% and 5% waste water systems, the survival rate of fishes is longer than a week after increasing the amount of DO artificially. So, if fishes are eaten from nearby fresh water bodies of Hazaribag-Dhaka, ultimately it may harm the normal physiology of human.
