“…Thus, the lower CAT activity observed in the treatment 0% exudate at 24 • C may be related to a strong involvement of CAT in the decomposition of H 2 O 2 . Our results are in line with Morosetti et al [47], who also observed a significant inhibition of CAT activity in M. galloprovincialis in the control treatments with increasing temperature. Moreover, results suggest that following depletion of CAT activity, a significant induction of the GST activity as second line of defense occurred (Supplementary Materials Table S1) in the gills of individuals that were not exposed to the exudate (Figure 1B).…”

Ocean warming and biological invasions are among the most pervasive factors threatening coastal ecosystems with a potential to interact. Ongoing temperature rise may affect physiological and cellular mechanisms in marine organisms. Moreover, non-indigenous species spread has been a major challenge to biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services. The invasive red seaweed Asparagopsis armata has become successfully established in Europe. Its exudate has been considered deleterious to surrounding native species, but no information exists on its effect under forecasted temperature increase. This study evaluated the combined effects of temperature rise and A. armata exudate exposure on the native mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Oxidative stress, neurophysiological and metabolism related biomarkers were evaluated after a 96 h-exposure to exudate (0% and 2%) under present (20 °C) and warming (24 °C) temperature scenarios. Short-term exposure to A. armata exudate affected the oxidative stress status and neurophysiology of the mussels, with a tendency to an increasing toxic action under warming. Significant oxidative damage at protein level was observed in the digestive gland and muscle of individuals exposed simultaneously to the exudate and temperature rise. Thus, under a climate change scenario, it may be expected that prolonged exposure to the combined action of both stressors may compromise M. galloprovincialis fitness and survival.

“…ETS measures the potential metabolic activity in organisms in response to environmental changes (e.g., [ 82 , 83 , 84 ]). Previous studies have reported that in the amphipod Gammarus fossarum [ 83 ] and in the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis [ 85 ], ETS activity increased as the temperature increased. When exposed to arsenic [ 86 ], the clam Ruditapes philippinarum also increases the ETS levels.…”

“…When exposed to cadmium, the clam Ruditapes decussatus presents higher ProC levels in its digestive gland [ 44 ]. However, Morosetti et al (2020) [ 85 ] did not observe significant changes in ProC in the mussel M. galloprovincialis when it was exposed to cerium (Ce) oxide nanoparticles and mercury (Hg). Moreover, the same authors also observed a decrease in ETS activity, indicating that low element accumulation did not lead to ROS production, and the organisms continued to use reserve energy and did not damage the proteins in the organisms.…”

Polychaetes are known to be good bioindicators of marine pollution, such as inorganic contamination. Major and trace elements are commonly present in sediment and may be accumulated by polychaetes such as the tubiculous Diopatra neapolitana. In this study, D. neapolitana individuals were collected in the autumn, winter, spring, and summer of 2018/2019 from the Ria de Aveiro lagoon (western Portugal) to understand how seasonality influences element accumulation. The impact of the interaction of seasonality and elements on oxidative status, energy metabolism, and oxidative damage was also assessed. The obtained results showed that the activity of the antioxidant enzymes catalase, glutathione S-transferases, and non-protein thiol levels were higher in summer and that superoxide dismutase, lipid peroxidation, and electron transport system activity increased in winter. The lowest glycogen levels were observed during spring, and protein carbonylation was the highest during autumn. These results could mainly be related to high temperatures and the bioaccumulation of Al, As, Mn, and Zn. Energy-related parameters increased during spring and autumn, mainly due to the bioaccumulation of the same elements during spring and summer. Lipid damage was higher during winter, which was mainly due to salinity and temperature decreases. Overall, this study demonstrates that seasonality plays a role in element accumulation by polychaetes and that both impact the oxidative status of D. neapolitana.

“…Nevertheless, for the same treatments (GO–PEI + Hg, Hg), antioxidant and biotransformation enzymes activities were similar at 21 and 17 °C. Furthermore, Morosetti et al [ 103 ] showed similar CAT and GSTs activities in M. galloprovincialis exposed to Hg contamination at the control (17 °C) and increased (22 °C) temperatures. The limited antioxidant capacity observed in bivalves exposed to Hg (Hg and GO–PEI + Hg conditions) was associated with greater cellular damage (high LPO and PC levels) and low GSH/GSSG values (in the case of Hg treatment).…”

“…Recent research has been testing the use of nanomaterials for water remediation, including GO–PEI, with few studies showing the impacts of these materials on marine wildlife [ 1 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 102 , 103 ]. Previous studies [ 1 , 33 ] have already demonstrated that at the control temperature (17 °C), GO–PEI (10 mg/L) induced biochemical impacts (metabolism and oxidative status alterations) in mussels and clams, with greater impacts in mussels.…”

The Influence of Temperature Increase on the Toxicity of Mercury Remediated Seawater Using the Nanomaterial Graphene Oxide on the Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis

Mercury (Hg) has been increasing in waters, sediments, soils and air, as a result of natural events and anthropogenic activities. In aquatic environments, especially marine systems (estuaries and lagoons), Hg is easily bioavailable and accumulated by aquatic wildlife, namely bivalves, due to their lifestyle characteristics (sedentary and filter-feeding behavior). In recent years, different approaches have been developed with the objective of removing metal(loid)s from the water, including the employment of nanomaterials. However, coastal systems and marine organisms are not exclusively challenged by pollutants but also by climate changes such as progressive temperature increment. Therefore, the present study aimed to (i) evaluate the toxicity of remediated seawater, previously contaminated by Hg (50 mg/L) and decontaminated by the use of graphene-based nanomaterials (graphene oxide (GO) functionalized with polyethyleneimine, 10 mg/L), towards the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis; (ii) assess the influence of temperature on the toxicity of decontaminated seawater. For this, alterations observed in mussels’ metabolic capacity, oxidative and neurotoxic status, as well as histopathological injuries in gills and digestive tubules were measured. This study demonstrated that mussels exposed to Hg contaminated seawater presented higher impacts than organisms under remediated seawater. When comparing the impacts at 21 °C (present study) and 17 °C (previously published data), organisms exposed to remediated seawater at a higher temperature presented higher injuries than organisms at 17 °C. These results indicate that predicted warming conditions may negatively affect effective remediation processes, with the increasing of temperature being responsible for changes in organisms’ sensitivity to pollutants or increasing pollutants toxicity.
