“…The concentration of CYP in surface water is close to 3 mg/l [3]. CYP was reported as extremely toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms [4,5]. Thus, the widespread presence of CYP in aquatic ecosystems throughout the world draws concern over its possible ecotoxicological impacts in nontarget organisms.…”

“…CPF is a broadspectrum chlorinated OP that affects the nervous system of an organism. In spite of obvious advantages such as low persistence and rapid biodegradation in the aquatic environment, one major concern has been its effect on non-target wildlife populations (Frasco et al 2006, Kumar et al 2010, 2017. The entry of CPF into natural water bodies has been observed to cause deleterious effects including DNA damage in economically important non-target organisms (Chandrasekara & Pathiratne 2007).…”

In response to growing worldwide market demand, intensive shrimp farming, particularly of whiteleg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, has expanded tremendously. The present study investigated induced DNA damage in gill (GL), haemolymph (HL) and muscle (ML) cells in juveniles of L. vannamei (length: 52.2 ± 6.4 mm; weight: 1.78 ± 0.5 g; mean ± SD) exposed to 2 sublethal (SL) concentrations, SL1 (0.36 µg l -1 ) and SL2 (0.18 µg l -1 ), of the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) during 21 d of exposure (DoE). The magnitude of DNA damage (% tail DNA) as measured by the comet assay at specified intervals (3, 7, 14 and 21 DoE) was found to be tissue specific and time and dose dependent (p < 0.05). At the end of the experiment, at 21 DoE, % tail DNA damage was relatively higher at SL1 (53.61 ± 8.71, 49.36 ± 3.42 and 32.40 ± 4.97%) compared to SL2 (39.25 ± 3.90, 32.22 ± 4.21 and 22.66 ± 2.85%) in GL, HL and ML cells, respectively. No significant differences in water quality parameters were found among treated and control aquaria. The significant reduction in specific growth rates (% growth d -1 ) observed in exposed shrimps indicated that SL concentrations of CPF negatively impacted growth in L. vannamei juveniles. A very low 96 h median lethal concentration (1.44 µg l -1 ) indicated sensitivity of L. vannamei juveniles to CPF, suggesting that the species could be used as a bioindicator for assessing pesticide pollution. The study results highlight the implications of extending the farming of L. vannamei to low-salinity inland areas adjacent to traditional agricultural fields.

“…The LC 50 value at 24 h exposure to chlorpyrifos was 3.37 µg L −1 for M. lanchesteri, which was higher when compared to 2.98 µg L −1 for the freshwater prawn P. argentines (Montagna & Collins 2007). Similarly, the 96-h LC 50 value of 2.53 µg L −1 in M. lanchesteri was higher than the 96-h LC 50 value of 0.063 µg L −1 observed in the glass shrimp Paratya australiensis (Kemp, 1917) of a comparable size (Kumar et al 2010). Altogether, these indicate that M. lanchesteri are more tolerant to chlorpyrifos than other prawns.…”

Cholinesterase (ChE) was characterized in whole bodies of adult riceland prawns, Macrobrachium lanchesteri, based on substrate preference and inhibitor sensitivity. M. lanchesteri ChE activity was mainly attributable to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) since it preferentially hydrolyzed an AChE-specific substrate, acetylthiocholine iodide, over s-butyrylthiocholine iodide and was sensitive to 1,5-bis-(4-allyldimethyl-ammoniumphenyl)-pentan-3-one dibromide, a specific inhibitor for AChE. The effect of chlorpyrifos exposure on M. lanchesteri were also investigated. The 24, 48, 72 and 96 h LC50 values for chlorpyrifos were 3.37, 2.76, 2.58 and 2.53 µg L −1 , respectively. Based on these values, adult M. lanchesteri were exposed to 0.5, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 µg chlorpyrifos L −1 for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. Chlorpyrifos appeared to induce drastic enzymatic responses in M. lanchesteri. AChE activity was inhibited after 24 h of exposure in a dose-and time-dependent manner. The levels of lipid peroxidation increased significantly after 24 h of exposure. However, the activities of the antioxidant enzyme, catalase, and the detoxification enzyme, glutathione S-transferase, were reduced. In conclusion, M. lanchesteri is sensitive to chlorpyrifos and can serve as a bioindicator species for freshwater environmental assessment.
