“…Hermaphroditism is widespread in the Class Gastropoda, and it is an important evolutionary strategy, since from a few individuals, through self-fertilization (or cross-fertilization) mechanisms, species can quickly establish new populations and colonize a new environment [3,4]. This strategy is present in a lot of snails of medical and veterinary importance, that acts as intermediate hosts of parasites, such as Biomphalaria glabrata, Lymnaea stagnalis, Physella acuta and Cornu aspersum, which are also widely studied as model systems in ecotoxicology due to their fast life cycle and population density [5][6][7].…”

The reproductive system has a fundamental role in population dynamics and several reproduction strategies have been shaped by the environment over time. Many environmental pressures are generated by releasing pollutants, as endocrine disruptors, that can affect the reproductive system of individuals, among them invertebrates. The freshwater snails Biomphalaria spp. are used as biomonitor in several ecotoxicological studies; however, there are few studies about gametogenesis and morphology of reproductive snail cells, which could be used as a new biomarker. In this sense, the current study aims to characterize Biomphalaria glabrata gametogenesis, bringing new histomorphometric parameters for germinative cells. Results showed that the hermaphrodite tissue is formed by several acini with simple pavement epithelium with germinative and somatic cells. Oogenesis was classified into five developmental stages (OI to OV) according to diameter, nucleus area, total area, and follicular cell development, and then classified into previtellogenic and vitellogenic oocytes. The spermatogenesis was classified into spermatogonia (Spg), spermatocytes (Spc) and spermatids that were subdivided into five stages (Spt I to Spt V) according to cytoplasm losing, and nucleus spiralization along with Sertoli cells development. Thus, the HIGHLIGHTS  The gametogenesis of Biomphalaria glabrata was described. Oogenesis was classified into five developmental stages. New histomorphometric parameters were described for oocytes. Spermatogenesis was classified into seven stages of development. B. glabrata histomorphometric parameters as a tool for environmental and public health researches.2 Rodrigues, C.C.; et al.

“…Some recent studies link DNA SSBs in aquatic animals to effects on the immune system, reproduction, growth, and population dynamics (Lee and Steinert, 2003). Exposure to inorganic nanomaterial as Ag NPs, CuO NPs, IONPs, MgO NPs, TiO2 NPs, and ZnO NPs induced genotoxic effects in snails (Caixeta et al 2020).…”

Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials have recently become immense research area as it is used widely in industries. So, it's chance of their release into natural environment and risk assessment to non-target aquatic invertebrate increasing. So, the present study aimed to synthesize and confirme the crystalline formation of Co-Cd-Fe LDHs and Co-Cd-Fe /PbI2 (LDH), and then to investigate the toxic impact of the two LDH on the adult freshwater snails (Biomphalaia alexandrina). Results showed that Co-Cd-Fe /PbI2 LDH has more toxic effect to adult Biomphalaria than Co-Cd-Fe LDHs (LC50 was 56.4 mg/l, 72 h of exposure). The effect of LC25 (117.1 mg/l) of Co-Cd-Fe LDHs exposure on the embryo; showed suppression of embryonic development and induced embryo malformation. Also, it showed alterations in the tegmental architectures of the mantle-foot region of B. alexandrina snails as declared in scanning electron micrograph. Also, exposure to this sub lethal concentration caused abnormalities in hemocyte shapes and up-regulated IL-2 level in soft tissue. In addition, it decreased levels of non-enzymatic reduced glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), caspase-3 activity and total protein content in significant manner. While, glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity was not affected by LDH exposure. It caused histopathological damages in both the hermaphrodite and digestive glands. Also, it has a genotoxic effect that was confirmed by alkaline comet assay. The results from the present study indicated that LDH has risk assessment on aquatic B. alexandrina snails and that it can be used as a biological indicator of water pollution with LDH

“…Xenobiotics-induced toxicities are related to the alterations in the function of these organelles including electron transfer chain ( Fard et al, 2016 ). Therefore, investigation of mitochondria/ lysosomes, pro-inflammatory mediators, antioxidant defense and nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway as biomarkers of exposure to environmental pollutants including nanoparticles can simplify the application of a quick preventive responses in the ecosystems ( Mandegary et al, 2013 , Ahmadian et al, 2018 , Caixeta et al, 2020 , Radwan et al, 2020 ). In addition, endocytosis is considered as the prime mechanism for the accumulation of nanoparticles in mitochondria and lysosome of cells ( Zhang et al, 2016 ).…”

The widespread exposure of metallic nanoparticles to the aquatic ecosystem and its adverse impact on human life is the colossal concern worldwide. In view of this, this context was investigated to analyze microscopically the bioaccumulation and localization of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles in the cellular organelles of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss , Walbaum, 1792) in aquatic conditions. Initially, Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles were absorbed on to Elodea ( Elodea canadensis ) and fed to molluscs ( Melanopsis praemorsa ). Fish were fed with the same molluscs, and then the intestines and liver were examined using light and transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that nanoparticles were present in the cytoplasm and other organelles of cells (mitochondrion and lysosome) by absorbing through microvilli of the epithelial cells of the tunica mucosa in the intestine. Further, nanoparticles passed through the vessels of the lamina propria of the tunica mucosa and reached to the sinusoids of the liver via blood circulation. It was then accumulated from the endothelium of the sinusoid to the cytoplasm of liver hepatocytes and to mitochondria and lysosome. The accumulation of nanoparticles in the epithelial cells, cytoplasm, mitochondria, and lysosome revealed the degree of transparency of the pattern with slight hesitation. In summary, this investigation contributed towards the understanding of the physiological effects of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles on O. mykiss , which ascertains essentiality for sustainable development of nanobiotechnology in the aquatic ecosystem.
