FISH & SHELLFISH IMMUNOLOGY 2024; 146:109418. [PMID: 38301811 DOI: 10.1016/j.fsi.2024.109418] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
The rice fish system represents an innovative and sustainable approach to integrated farming, combining rice cultivation with fish rearing in the same ecosystem. However, one of the major challenges in this system is the pesticidal pollution resulting from various sources, which poses risks to fish health and overall ecosystem balance. In recent years, dietary polyphenols have emerged as promising bioactive compounds with potential chemo-preventive and therapeutic properties. These polyphenols, derived from various plant sources, have shown great potential in reducing the toxicity of pesticides and improving the health of fish within the rice fish system. This review aims to explore the novel aspects of using dietary polyphenols to mitigate pesticidal toxicity and enhance fish health in the rice fish system. It provides comprehensive insights into the mechanisms of action of dietary polyphenols and their beneficial effects on fish health, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and detoxification properties. Furthermore, the review discusses the potential application methods of dietary polyphenols, such as direct supplementation in fish diets or through incorporation into the rice fields. By understanding the interplay between dietary polyphenols and pesticides in the rice fish system, researchers can develop innovative and sustainable strategies to promote fish health, minimize pesticide impacts, and ensure the long-term viability of this integrated farming approach. The information presented in this review will be valuable for scientists, aqua-culturists, and policymakers aiming to implement eco-friendly and health-enhancing practices in the rice fish system.

Abstract
The present study aimed at exploring to explore the penoxsulam toxicity and protective effects of blueberry extract in roots of Allium cepa L. The effective concentration (EC50) of penoxsulam was determined at 20 µg/L by the root growth inhibition test as the concentration reducing the root length by 50%. The bulbs of A. cepa L. were treated with tap water, blueberry extracts (25 and 50 mg/L), penoxsulam (20 µg/L) and combination of blueberry extracts (25 and 50 mg/L) with penoxsulam (20 µg/L) for 96 h. The results revealed that penoxsulam exposure inhibited cell division, rooting percentage, growth rate, root length and weight gain in the roots of A. cepa L. In addition, it induced chromosomal anomalies such as sticky chromosome, fragment, unequal distribution of chromatin, bridge, vagrant chromosome and c-mitosis and DNA strand breaks. Further, penoxsulam treatment enhanced malondialdehyde content and SOD, CAT and GR antioxidant enzyme activities. Molecular docking results supported the up-regulation of antioxidant enzyme SOD, CAT and GR. Against all these toxicity, blueberry extracts reduced penoxsulam toxicity in a concentration-dependent manner. The highest amount of recovery for cytological, morphological and oxidative stress parameters was observed when using blueberry extract at a concentration of 50 mg/L. In addition, blueberry extracts application showed a positive correlation with weight gain, root length, mitotic index and rooting percentage whereas a negative correlation with micronucleus formation, DNA damage, chromosomal aberrations, antioxidant enzymes activities and lipid peroxidation indicating its protecting effects. As a result, it has been seen that the blueberry extract can tolerate all these toxic effects of penoxsulam depending on the concentration, and it has been understood that it is a good protective natural product against such chemical exposures.

[PMID: 36028129 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Penoxsulam (PNX) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are likely to coexist in soils due to continuous use. However, the ecotoxicity of PNX in earthworms and the effect of AgNPs on PNX toxicity are unknown. Therefore, the toxicity of PNX (0.05, 0.5, and 2.5 mg/kg) single and co-exposure with AgNPs (10 mg/kg) after 28 and 56 days on Eisenia fetida (E. fetida) was investigated from biochemical, genetic, histopathological, and transcriptomic aspects. The results showed that the low concentration of PNX (0.05PNX) had almost no effect on the biochemical level of E. fetida. However, the addition of AgNPs resulted in 0.05PNX causing E. fetida to produce excessive reactive oxygen species, and the activity of antioxidant and detoxification enzymes were interfered, resulting in lipid peroxidation and DNA damage. From the genetic level, even the lowest concentration of PNX can significantly interfere with the expression of functional genes, thus inducing oxidative stress and apoptosis and inhibited reproductive behavior in E. fetida. The integrated biomarker response results at the biochemical and genetic levels showed that the comprehensive toxicity of PNX and PNX + AgNPs on E. fetida was PNX dose-dependent. And the toxicity of all co-exposure groups was greater than that of the PNX only exposure groups. Furthermore, the addition of AgNPs significantly increased the damage of PNX on E. fetida intestinal tissue. Meanwhile, transcriptomic analysis showed that PNX + AgNPs had a greater effect on E. fetida than PNX single, and multiple pathways related to oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular process regulation were disturbed. These results provide a basis for comprehensive evaluation of the ecotoxicity of PNX and confirm that the AgNPs does increase the ecotoxicity of PNX in soil environment.

Abstract
The harmful effects of pesticides can be extended beyond the exposure time scale. Appraisals combining exposure and long-term post-exposure periods appear as an unavoidable approach in pesticide risk assessment, thus allowing a better understanding of the real impact of agrochemicals in non-target organisms. This study aimed to evaluate the progression of genetic damage in somatic and germ tissues of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii, also seeking for gender-specificities, following exposure (7 days) to penoxsulam (23 μg L-1 ) and a post-exposure (70 days) period. The same approach was applied to the model genotoxicant ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS; 5 mg L-1 ) as a complementary mean to improve knowledge on genotoxicity dynamics (induction vs. recovery). Penoxsulam induced DNA damage in all tested tissues, disclosing tissue- and gender-specificities, where females showed to be more vulnerable than males in the gills, while males demonstrated higher susceptibility in what concerns internal organs, that is, hepatopancreas and gonad. Crayfish were unable to recover from the DNA damage induced by EMS in gills and hepatopancreas (both genders) as well as in spermatozoa. The genotoxicity in the hepatopancreas was only perceptible in the post-exposure period. Oxidative DNA lesions were identified in hepatopancreas and spermatozoa of EMS-exposed crayfish. The spermatozoa proved to be the most vulnerable cell type. It became clear that the characterization of the genotoxic hazard of a given agent must integrate a complete set of information, addressing different types of DNA damage, tissue- and gender-specificities, as well as a long-term appraisal of temporal progression of damage.

Abstract
Fish cultivation in rice fields is a valuable resource in some rural areas of the world. Fish is a source of protein and an additional source of income for local farmers. However, the use of pesticides may impact fish and consumer health. The aim of this study was to evaluate exposure and effect biomarkers in native fish inhabiting a rice field during a production cycle. Samples of fish, water and sediment from a rice field in Santa Fe, Argentina were collected during a cultivation season (at the beginning: November 2017, in the middle: December 2017 and at the end: February 2018). At each sampling period, fish biomarkers of effect (biometric indices, hematological parameters, energy reserves, oxidative stress and neurotoxicity) were assessed together with pesticide screening in water, sediment, and fish samples. Only herbicides were present in water and sediment samples in agreement with land treatment before rice sowing stage, where only herbicides were applied. In general, the greatest water concentrations of bentazone, glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), and the lowest sediment glyphosate and AMPA levels were observed at the beginning of the farming cycle. Fish bioaccumulated AMPA residues at all sampling periods and showed biological responses to cope with a stressful environment. Alterations in hematological parameters, mobilization of energetic reserves and activation of the antioxidant system were detected. However, no oxidative damage nor neurotoxic effects were present along the production cycle. Under a real exposure scenario, the present work demonstrates that biological changes are induced in fish to cope with stressors present in a rice field. Fish-rice coculture is an efficient and ecologically sustainable approach to increase food supplies, and a better understanding of the effect of this particular environment on fish would allow a greater and safer development of this promising productive activity in South American rice producing countries.

Abstract
Pesticide exposure is thought to be one of the common reasons for the decline in amphibian populations, a phenomenon that is a major threat to global biodiversity. Although the single effects of pesticides on amphibians have been well studied, the effects of mixtures are not well known. The present study aimed to evaluate the acute toxicity of the insecticide thiacloprid and the fungicide trifloxystrobin on early developmental stages of Xenopus laevis using various biochemical markers (glutathione S-transferase, glutathione reductase, acetylcholinesterase, carboxylesterase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, Na+ K+ -adenosine triphosphatase [ATPase], Ca2+ -ATPase, Mg2+ -ATPase, and total ATPase). The median lethal concentrations (LC50s) of thiacloprid and trifloxystrobin were determined to be 3.41 and 0.09 mg a.i. L-1 , respectively. Tadpoles were exposed to the LC50, LC50/2, LC50/10, LC50/20, LC50/50, and LC50/100 of these pesticides. Both pesticides significantly affected (inhibited/activated) the biomarkers even at low concentrations. The pesticides showed a synergistic effect when applied as a mixture and altered the biomarkers more than when applied individually. In conclusion, we can assume that tadpoles are threatened by these pesticides even at environmentally relevant concentrations. Our findings provide important data to guide management of the ecotoxicological effects of these pesticides on nontarget amphibians. Environ Toxicol Chem 2021;40:2846-2860. © 2021 SETAC.

Abstract
To assess the time-dependent stress evidence in dynamic allocation of physiological metabolism of Nilaparvata lugens nymphs in response to elevated CO2, we measured the time-dependent allocation of nutrient compositions and physiological metabolism in the bodies of N. lugens at 1h, 4h and 12h under elevated CO2. Elevated CO2 significantly increased the contents of nutrient compositions (protein, glucose and total amino acids) and catalase (CAT) enzyme activity in the body of N. lugens at 12h relative to 1h and 4h (P < 0.05). Significantly higher genes expression levels of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), heat shock protein (HSP70) and vitellogenin gene (vg) were observed in the body of N. lugens compared with those in ambient CO2 at 4h (P < 0.05). These results showed that there was an instantaneous reaction of N. lugens nymphs to elevated CO2, which indicated N. lugens may enhance stress defense response to future increasing CO2 levels.

Abstract
The herbicide fluridone is intensively applied to control invasive aquatic plants globally, including in the Sacramento and San Joaquin Delta (the Delta), California, USA. Our previous study revealed that the adult stage of Delta Smelt showed acute and sub-lethal adverse effects following 6 h of exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of fluridone. To further investigate mechanisms of toxicity of fluridone and to assess its toxicity to early life stages of fish, we performed additional exposures using the fish model Japanese Medaka (Oryzias latipes). Male and female Medaka embryos were exposed to concentrations of fluridone for 14 d and showed reduced hatching success in a dose dependent manner. The half maximal effective concentration for the hatching success was 2.3 mg L-1. In addition, male and female Medaka larvae were acute exposed to fluridone for 6 h to assess their swimming behavior and gene expression patterns. Fish exposed to fluridone at 4.2 mg L-1 or higher became lethargic and showed abnormal swimming behavior. The response to the stimuli was significantly impaired by fluridone at 21 mg L-1 and above in males, and at 104 mg L-1 in females. Transcriptome analysis identified a total of 799 genes that were significantly differentially expressed, comprising 555 up-regulated and 244 down-regulated genes in males exposed to 21 mg L-1 of fluridone. The gene set enrichment analysis indicated a number of biological processes altered by fluridone. Among the genes involved in those biological processes, the expression of the genes, acetylcholinesterase, retinoic acid receptor, insulin receptor substrate, glutathione reductase, and glutathione S transferase, exhibited dose- and sex-dependent responses to fluridone. The study indicated that fluridone exposure led to detrimental toxic effects at early developmental stages of fish, by disturbing the biological processes of growth and development, and the nervous system, inducing oxidative stress and endocrine disruption.

Abstract
Little is known regarding the impact of penoxsulam, a fluorinated benzenesulfonamid rice herbicide, on Oreochromis niloticus (O. niloticus). Therefore, the current study was undertaken to highlight the effects of penoxsulam exposure on O. niloticus and to evaluate the advantages of Chlorella vulgaris (CV) dietary supplementation against the induced effects. The 96-h lethal concentration 50 (LC50) penoxsulam value for O. niloticus was estimated at 8.948 mg/L by probit analysis in a static bioassay experiment. Next, 360 healthy fish were randomly allocated into 6 treatment groups. The T1 group served as the negative control and was fed a basal diet. The T2 group served as the positive control and was fed a basal diet supplemented with 10% CV. The fish in the T3 and T4 groups were exposed to 1/10 the 96-h LC50 of penoxsulam (0.8948 mg/L) and were fed the basal diet alone or the basal diet supplemented with 10% CV, respectively. The fish in the T5 and T6 groups were exposed to 1/5 the 96-h LC50 of penoxsulam (1.7896 mg/L) and fed the basal diet alone or the basal diet supplemented with 10% CV, respectively. Sub-acute penoxsulam exposure significantly altered hematological indices, as well as compromised the fish's immune defense mechanisms, including the phagocytic percentage, phagocytic index, nitric oxide production, immunoglobulin M levels and lysozyme, anti-trypsin and bactericidal activities subsequently decreasing O. niloticus's resistance to the Aeromonus sobria challenge and increasing disease symptoms and the mortality rate. Furthermore, sub-chronic penoxsulam exposure markedly altered growth performance, oxidant/antioxidant status and liver status and down-regulated the expression of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis-α (TNF-α). Interestingly, incorporating 10% CV into the diet protects fish against sub-acute penoxsulam-induced immunotoxicity via improvement of immune responses that increases the resistance against bacterial infection. Further, it improved the growth performance, oxidant/antioxidant status, liver status and markedly up-regulated immune-related gene expression, IL-1β and TNF-α, in the spleens of fish sub-chronically exposed to penoxsulam. These outcomes showed that dietary CV supplementation can protect the commercially valuable freshwater fish O. niloticus against penoxsulam toxicity and may be a potential feed supplement for Nile tilapia in aquaculture.

Abstract
Concerns regarding non-target toxicity of new herbicides used to control invasive aquatic weeds in the San Francisco Estuary led us to compare sub-lethal toxicity of four herbicides (penoxsulam, imazamox, fluridone, and glyphosate) on an endangered fish species Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus). We measured 17β-estradiol (E2) and glutathione (GSH) concentrations in liver, and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain of female and male fish after 6 h of exposure to each of the four herbicides. Our results indicate that fluridone and glyphosate disrupted the E2 concentration and decreased glutathione concentration in liver, whereas penoxsulam, imazamox, and fluridone inhibited brain AChE activity. E2 concentrations were significantly increased in female and male fish exposed to 0.21 μM of fluridone and in male fish exposed to 0.46, 4.2, and 5300 μM of glyphosate. GSH concentrations decreased in males exposed to fluridone at 2.8 μM and higher, and glyphosate at 4.2 μM. AChE activity was significantly inhibited in both sexes exposed to penoxsulam, imazamox, and fluridone, and more pronounced inhibition was observed in females. The present study demonstrates the potential detrimental effects of these commonly used herbicides on Delta Smelt.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to investigate the oxidative stress and genotoxic effects of the herbicide mesotrione in a common freshwater fish, Cyprinus carpio. These fish were exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of mesotrione (1.8, 18 and 180 μg L-1) for 7, 14 and 28 days. Levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione reductase (GR) were measured in the gill, liver and muscle, together with levels of DNA damage that occurred. After 28 days exposure, significant increases in SOD and CAT activity and ROS content were observed in all three tissues but only at the highest concentration of exposure (180 μg L-1). No obvious changes in MDA, GSH, GPx or GR were observed in all treatments during the experiment. Comet assays revealed that the highest concentration of mesotrione induced DNA damage to different tissues in the common carp, especially the liver after chronic exposure occurred. These results provide evidence that the oxidant-antioxidant and comet assay could be integrated into monitoring programs determining the toxicity of water pollutants.

Abstract
Due to intense agricultural activity in the rio Uruguai (South Brazil), there is the potential for aquatic contamination by agrochemicals. In this region, there are many reservoirs to meet the water demand for rice fields, forming lentic environments. In line with this information, the aim of this study was to show a comparative analysis of some biomarkers, such as lipid peroxidation (TBARS), gluthatione S-transferase (GST), non-protein thiols (NPSH), amino acids (AA) and piscine micronucleus tests (MNE) in Astyanax jacuhiensis from lentic and lotic environments in the middle rio Uruguai region, comparing warm and cold seasons. Eight pesticides were found in water samples, with propoxur having the highest concentration found in both environments and seasons. Fish from the warm season showed higher levels of biochemical biomarkers, and fish from the cold season showed higher levels of MNE and AA. TBARS and AA presented higher levels in fish from the river, while GST, NPSH, MNE and AA presented higher levels in fish from dams. These environments have different characteristics in terms of redox potential, aeration, sedimentation, trophic structure, agrochemicals input and others, which may affect the physiological and biochemical responses of fish in against adverse situations.

Abstract
Toxic effects of penoxsulam herbicide on acetylcholinesterase, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances and protein carbonyl were studied in silver catfish (Rhamdia sp.) and carp (Cyprinus carpio). Acetylcholinesterase activity was inhibited in both brain and muscle tissue, with the inhibition being greater in carp than in silver catfish. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), an indicator of lipid peroxidation, decreased in silver catfish brain tissue, but increased in the carp brain. MDA also increased significantly in muscle tissue of silver catfish. The levels of protein carbonyl, another measure of oxidative damage, increased in the brain of both fish species, and in the muscle of carp. However, silver catfish exhibited a decrease in muscle protein carbonyl. It appears that silver catfish may possess better mechanisms of defense against penoxsulam toxicity than carp.

Abstract
The freshwater carp, Cyprinus carpio, was exposed to 0.5 mg (30% of median lethal concentration (LC50)), 1.0 mg (60% of LC50), and 1.6 mg (LC50) of dithiopyridine herbicide per liter for acute (24 h) and 1/10 of LC50 (0.2 mg/L/day) for sublethal (1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days) experiments. The herbicide bioaccumulation was significantly affected by the acute exposure levels and the experimental periods and was positively correlated with them. One-way analysis of variance revealed that the acute and sublethal exposure to the herbicide as well as the experimental periods caused significant reduction in the concentrations of catecholamines (dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE)), elevation of acetylcholine (ACh), and was associated with a marked decrease in the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). In comparison with the corresponding controls, most levels of the DA and NE and the activity of AChE were significantly decreased, whereas the concentration of ACh was markedly elevated, during acute and sublethal exposure. In the acute and sublethal experiments, the herbicide accumulated in the brain was inversely proportional to the levels of DA and NE and the activity of AChE but has a direct correlation with the concentration of ACh. In addition, the brain’s AChE activity was negatively correlated with ACh content during the acute ( r = −0.94) and sublethal ( r = −0.78) experiments.

Abstract
The effects of the triazine herbicide prometryne, commonly present in surface and ground waters, on oxidative stress and antioxidant status of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were investigated. Fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations of prometryne (0.51, 8, and 80μg/l) for 14, 30, and 60 days. Activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione reductase (GR), as well as levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARSs) were assessed in brain, gill, intestine, liver, and muscle. After 14 days exposure, decreased GR activity in brain was observed for all prometryne-exposed groups compared with the controls. Changes were observed in SOD activity in brain and gill after 30 days in all exposure groups. Changes in CAT activity were observed only at the highest concentration (80μg/l) in liver and intestine after 60 days. The observed effects on carp antioxidant systems may be a defense against oxidative damage. The study demonstrated changes in antioxidant parameters and the importance of evaluating the potential long-term risk to fish of prometryne, at environmentally realistic concentrations (0.51μg/l). The results suggest that antioxidant responses may have potential as biomarkers for monitoring residual triazine herbicides in aquatic environments.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to evaluate possible toxic effects of commercial formulation containing fipronil on Cyprinus carpio tissues under rice field conditions. Antioxidant profile (SOD, catalase, glutathione S-transferase), oxidative stress parameters (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, protein carbonyl), and growth were investigated in carp exposed to fipronil under rice field conditions for 7, 30, and 90 days. Waterborne insecticide concentrations were measured and the detectable concentration of fipronil was observed up to 45 day after application. Common carp survival and growth was not affected by fipronil. Liver superoxide dismutase activity was enhanced while liver catalase activity was inhibited at 7, 30, and 90 days. Alterations were not observed in the glutathione S-transferase activity in any experimental periods. Protein carbonyl increased only after 30 and 90 days of exposure. The thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances levels were enhanced in all analyzed tissues (liver, muscle, and brain) and periods of exposure. This study demonstrates that fipronil insecticides cause alterations in the biochemical parameters in different tissues of carp without affecting the growth or the survival of the fish.
