Invertebrates have long been an important tool for assessing water pollution due to their characteristics as intermediate consumers in aquatic ecosystem food chains. Most of the time, the effects of contaminants are measured by their effect on oxidative status or by mortality, although there already exists an easier tool—hemocytes. Hemocytes are circulating cells with a very important role in the immune system of invertebrates, which can be found within the hemolymph, analogous to the blood in vertebrates. The collection of hemolymph samples is easy, fast, minimally invasive, and poses no danger to the life of invertebrates. The purpose of this review was to highlight the advantages of using hemolymph for toxicity assays of various substances, including heavy metals, micro- and nano-plastics, pesticides, hydrocarbons, and oil spills. A literature search was conducted for this purpose using the most common and most often used databases, with a focus on the most recent and relevant studies. Bivalve mollusks, crustaceans, and gastropods were chosen for this investigation. This review found a growing number of studies choosing to use hemolymph as the standard methodology for toxicology assays, confirming their qualities as reliable tools.

“…Nowadays, aquatic ecosystems pollution is a rather global worrying increasing threat that requires special attention in order to preserve the health of the environment and, consequently, that of animals and humans (Multisanti et al 2022;Pagano et al 2023;Tresnakova et al, 2023). The main contamination source of aquatic environments is the development of anthropogenic activities, such as industrial or domestic activities that allow the release of numerous potentially polluting substances in water, including heavy metals, through wastewater (Aliko et al 2022;Impellitteri et al 2022;Merola et al 2021).…”

Chromium is an abundant metal in the earth's crust and plays an important role in water pollution. There are two main forms of chromium in the environment: trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium, as the most toxic form. The present study investigated the effects of propolis on the amount of chromium reabsorption in the Redfish's liver, kidney, gill, and muscle. Redfish were fed on four diets treated with irradiated/non-irradiated alcohol extract and irradiated/non-irradiated crude crushed propolis as an antioxidant natural bee product, for 70 days. Treatments and the positive control groups were exposed to 9 mg/L of chromium for 6 weeks. According to the data available in this study, the amount of chromium reabsorption in the positive control groups is in the order of gill > liver > kidney > muscle. The irradiated propolis diet treatment groups showed a significant difference compared to the positive control group. Treatment groups 3 and 4 showed significant differences compared to treatment groups 1 and 2 in all organs, except the liver. Treatment groups 3 and 4 showed a lower amount of chromium reabsorption in the gills, liver, kidneys, and muscles compared to the positive control group, demonstrating a significant difference. The results obtained showed that propolis could be effective as a chemoprotective compound in managing the reabsorption of dichromate. Therefore, it can be concluded that irradiated alcohol extract of propolis is recommended as a suitable and convenient food additive to increase its antioxidant properties in the fish industry.

“…Due to its widespread distribution and significant usage, concerns have arisen regarding the potential risks posed by TEB on both human health and the environment. 3 The frequent detection of TEB in both surface water and sediment, particularly in agricultural areas, suggests its potential exposure to aquatic organisms, including nektons and benthos. 4−6 For example, in a river basin with crops cultivated, the detected TEB concentration was 2.6−12.7 μg/kg in sediment, and the highest recorded concentration in water was 261.6 ng/L in Spain.…”

Tebuconazole (TEB), a widely used and persistent pesticide, has garnered attention due to its frequent detection in sediments worldwide. This widespread occurrence has raised concerns about potential dietborne toxicity to benthic crustaceans, as they may ingest contaminated particles in their habitat. While bioaccumulation studies indicate the importance of TEB ingestion for benthic crustaceans, limited data exist on direct dietborne toxicity testing. This study investigated the diet-related toxicity of TEB by subjecting a benthic ostracod, Heterocypris incongruens, to a 6 day toxicity test under dietary and combined exposures. Subsequently, the importance of dietary exposure for TEB toxicity was uncovered, followed by quantification of relative dietborne toxicity contributions using a modified concentration-additive model. Results revealed that the dietary route was more toxicologically significant than the aqueous route in equilibrium. The dietborne lethal concentration (LC 50 ) for TEB on H. incongruens was 200 (170−250) mg/kg, with an 80% relative dietborne toxicity contribution. To gain comprehensive insights into dietborne significance, toxicity data were collected from previous studies involving different pollutants to calculate relative contributions. Finally, the correlation between dietborne toxicity and the partitioning coefficient was analyzed to understand the pollutant behavior and its toxic impact when ingested through the diet.
