“…This can be explained in part by the considerable natural recovery of marine ecosystems to various high-gravity impacts.Marine organisms adapt rapidly to naturally high mortality levels, among other reasons by producing large surpluses of eggs, larvae andincorporation of populations reserves outside the affected area 13 Naphthalene can be identified as a modestly volatile compound, which allows its concentration to decrease more easily in the environment versus other compounds of the same group.This characteristic is related to its low molecular weight (MW) which in turn allows it to be available to organisms facilitating their mobility with respect to other PAHS and being retained for short periods of time 14 . Nonetheless, the compound with the highest concentration in the present study was naphthalene, corresponding with that reported by Pozo K. et al (2011) 15 , in that naphthalene, the simplest of the low molecular weight PAHs, was found at relatively elevated levels, which suggests that its source was mainly anthropogenic 16 .…”

Samples of fish species Lutjanus synagris (lane snapper, pargo biajaiba or pargo rayado) and Centropomus undecimalis (Common snook, sergeant fish or robolo) from municipality of Covenas and corregimiento of Berruga in the Gulf of the Morrosquillo (Department of Sucre, northern Colombia), were collected to evalute therir pollution degree with polinuclear aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs), also called Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons. Analysis to detect residual concentrations of siteen posible PAHs in fish muscles were carried out with gas chromatography coupled by masses (GC/MS). Results showed 11,230 µg.kg-1 of PAH saverage total concentrations for Lutjanus Synagris (ranging from 0,004 to 145,596 µg.kg-1) and 8,596 µg.kg-1 for Centropomus undecimalis (ranging from 0,002 to 85,915 µg.kg-1) where PAHs classified as carcinogenic (venzo[a] pyrene, dibenzo [a, h] anthracene), showed a low frequency in the detection. This condition allows to consider that PAHsaverage values do not represent an immediate risk for human health, but it would be a potential one because of the bio-accumulation property of these pollutants. Thus, a continuous monitoring of this problema is recommended since it could become a risk for the environment and public health.

“…Contamination of environment by PAHs is now becoming a serious problem worldwide because of massive and irregular extraction of natural resources from the earth. PAHs are widely distributed in aquatic environment including sediments, benthic invertebrates, fish, sea birds, and mammals. , In particular, the naphthalene concentration in sediments ranges between 440 and 264,000 pg/g, in water, it ranges from 0.1 to 10 ng/L, and in biological samples, it ranges from 0.030 to 1.004 μg/g. , Naphthalene addressed here is a PAH that is widely distributed in soil, water, air, and aquatic environments. , Generally, in aquatic environment, PAHs originated from four different sources: petrogenic fuels, incomplete combustion (pyrogenic), organic metabolism (biogenic), and diagenetic transformation in sediments . Among these, petrogenic and pyrogenic sources are the major contributors of aquatic pollution by PAHs …”

Polyaromatic compounds are the major, widespread contaminants in the aquatic environment. However, the adverse impacts of these compounds on blood pathophysiology (hematological profiling and serum biochemical responses) are poorly understood. As a consequence, this study was intended to evaluate the toxic effects of naphthalene, one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, on the blood pathophysiology of Anabas testudineus using multiple end-point biomarker approach. A. testudineus was exposed to short-term (1 and 5 d) and long-term (10, 15, and 21 d) naphthalene concentrations, that is, T1 (0.71 mg/L indicates 25% of LC50) and T2 (1.42 mg/L indicates 50% of LC50 value). The results disclosed significant decrease in red blood cells, hemoglobin (Hb), packed cell volume, and platelet levels, while other blood parameters, namely, white blood cells, percent lymphocyte, mean cell volume, mean corpuscular Hb, and mean corpuscular Hb concentration showed enhanced levels under naphthalene intoxication. Results were more detrimental under T2 concentration. Cholesterol, glucose, calcium, high-density lipoprotein, and low-density lipoprotein levels gradually increased throughout the different exposure periods under T1 and T2 concentrations, while the triglyceride level gradually decreased during exposure periods. Finally, integrated biomarker responses (IBR) analysis indicated that serum biochemical parameters are more powerful than hematological parameters for determining the naphthalene-induced fish health status. Additionally, the IBR study clearly identified that long-term (>5 d) exposure was more harmful than short-term (<5 d) naphthalene exposure. So, these responses may be derived as biomarkers for monitoring naphthalene pollution in an aquatic ecosystem.

“…It provides an insight into the various mechanisms involved in producing number of effects of the toxicants. Lethal effects of naphthalene in freshwater organisms including fish pertaining to its mortality, endocrine disturbance, immunotoxicity, disruption of iono‐osmoregulatory functions and histological alterations are previously reported (Santos et al, 2006; Tintos et al, 2007; Hossain et al, 2010; Nayak and Patnaik, 2021).…”

Exposure to large concentrations of organic PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) compound naphthalene can potentially accumulate inside the body, damage the cells and causes serious health issues. The current understanding of naphthalene exposure to many food fish species is limited. For a comprehensive understanding of naphthalene toxicity to fish health, dose dependent exposure was carried out in Anabas testudineus, an important food fish of Asia. Fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations of naphthalene (4.2, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 and 5 mg L−1) for a period of 72 h. Activity analysis of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes in liver and muscles of the Anabas testudineus showed a marked increase in the lipid peroxidation activity in almost all the experimental groups. In contrast, the enzymatic activity of antioxidants like catalase, glutathione peroxidase and non‐enzymatic antioxidant glutathione decreased in both liver and muscle tissue. The results imply that increasing doses of naphthalene induced lipid peroxidation and the decreasing levels of antioxidants were incapable of reducing the stress exerted by naphthalene. This study is beneficial for evaluating the effect of LMW (Low molecular weight) naphthalene on fish and highlights the specific biomarker response signifying PAHs toxicity in fish.
