Histopathological response of hepatopancreas and gill in Metopograpsus messor crab exposed to cadmium pollutants
Authors
Abstract:
In recent years, monitoring the amount of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems by quantity measures in water, sediment and fish tissue has shifted to the quality measures of pollutant effects on aquatic animals and assessment of aquatic animal health and, ultimately, the ecosystem. This research performed on three replicates has examined the histopathological response of hepatopancreas and gill in Metopograpsus messor crab exposed to cadmium pollutants. We prepared an aquarium that contained a 5 μg/L concentration of cadmium as well as a control group. After the start of the experiment, we sampled the crabs in 2 steps short-time (72 h) and long-time (14 days). After the routine histological procedures, we performed H & E staining. Oserved complications in the gills included: disruption of the pillar cells and collapsed lamellae, hyperplasia, necrosis, detached cuticle, club-shaped distal tips of gill lamellae, vacuolisation, malformation at the tip of the gills, slight lamellae distortion. In the hepatopancreas we observed formation of abnormal lumen, necrosis, thickened basal laminae, increased numbers of B-cells, presence of reserve inclusion, and dilation of the hemal sinuses. A comparison of the two groups showed a direct correlation between the duration and severity of damage.

The histopathological effects of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate on the gill, liver and kidney tissues of the Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum were studied. The fish were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of anionic detergent, Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) for short term intervals (192 h). Gill, liver and kidney samples were collected after 192 h of exposure to LAS and lesions we...

Background: Histological studies in organs like hepatopancreas and gill of the freshwater fish, Cyprinus carpio, were made to assess tissue damage due to sub-lethal concentration of cadmium after a long exposure period. Methods: This study was conducted in University of Tehran, in 2013. The fish were divided into two groups in 1000 litre fiberglass tanks supplied with dechlorinated water [hard...

Cadmium (Cd) pollution is a serious global problem, which causes irreversible toxic effects on animals. Freshwater crab, Sinopotamon henanense, is a useful environmental indicator since it is widely distributed in benthic habitats whereby it tends to accumulate Cd and other toxicants. However, its molecular responses to Cd toxicity remain unclear. In this study, we performed transcriptome seque...
