Abstract
Physiological biomarkers were compared in two estuarine fishes: an estuarine resident (Atherinella brasiliensis) and a marine/estuarine transient (Sphoeroides testudineus). These fish were sampled from two estuarine systems: one with an active harbor (impacted site), and another which receives mostly domestic urban runoffs and is much less impacted (reference site). The resident fish displayed higher plasma osmolality and sodium (1.13 and 1.35-fold, respectively), and the transient fish displayed higher plasma osmolality (1.05-fold), potassium (1.17-fold), and magnesium levels (1.84-fold) in the impacted site, when compared to the reference site. The resident fish showed increased renal carbonic anhydrase activity and branchial expression of HSP70 (3.3-fold) in the impacted site, when compared to the reference site. Osmoregulatory parameters and HSP70 expression are strong candidates as physiological biomarkers for environmental assessment of industrial impact on estuarine teleost fishes.
期刊介绍:
Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology is devoted to the publication of papers covering field and laboratory research into all aspects of the behaviour and physiology of all marine and freshwater animals within the contexts of ecology, evolution and conservation.
As the living resources of the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes are attracting increasing attention as food sources for humans and for their role in global ecology, the journal will also publish the results of research in the areas of fisheries biology and technology where the behaviour and physiology described have clear links to the contexts mentioned above.
The journal will accept for publication Research Articles, Reviews, Rapid Communications and Technical Notes (see Instructions for authors for details). In addition, Editorials, Opinions and Book Reviews (invited and suggested) will also occasionally be published. Suggestions to the Editor-In-Chief for Special Issues are encouraged and will be considered on an ad hoc basis.
With the goal of supporting early career researchers, the journal particularly invites submissions from graduate students and post-doctoral researchers. In addition to recognising the time constraints and logistical limitations their research often faces, and their particular need for a prompt review process, accepted articles by such researchers will be given prominence within the journal (see Instructions for authors for details).
