Sensitivity of invasive alien fish in Serbia black bullhead Ameiurus melas (Rafinesque, 1820) as a bioindicator of genotoxicity
(EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS & GENOMICS SOCIETY, 2022)
Invasive alien fish species represent one of the greatest threats to the biodiversity and ecological status of freshwater ecosystems. Within their management, their application as bioindicators of pollution in monitoring ...
Cytostatics as emerging pollutants – is there a threat for aquatic invertebrates?
(University of Agriculture in Krakow, 2018)
Seeking for a better quality of life, consumption of pharmaceuticals is constantly increasing. Pharmaceuticals are designed to be more potent, degradation resistant, to affect protein targets at relatively low doses. Many ...
Comet assay – a sensitive method for detection DNA damage and primary monitoring of ecosystem pollution pressure
(Institute of Marine Biology, University of Montenegro, 2019)
Untreated municipal wastewaters are one of the major negative contributors on freshwater quality, and consequently on ecosystem balance. Some compounds such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetic products, etc. could be genotoxic ...
Application of comet assay in aquatic organisms – summary and lessons learned in past 10 years of field research
(EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL MUTAGENESIS & GENOMICS SOCIETY, 2022)
Within the past decade, our research group placed great effort in exploration of the impact of treated/untreated wastewaters on aquatic ecosystems as less than 13 % of collected municipal wastewaters are processed before ...
The impact of the Sava river pollution on biomarkers response in the liver and gills of three cyprinid species
(Institute for Water Quality, Resource and Waste Management TU Wien, 2017)
Due to the presence of a large number of different pollutants, monitoring of the surface water quality based solely on the analysis of a limited number of xenobiotics, cannot be considered as reliable. Beside toxic, these ...
Significance of genotoxicity and toxicity evaluation of freshwater bodies
(Institute of Marine Biology, University of Montenegro, 2019)
Fish communities are excellent indicators of biological and ecological integrity due to
their continuous exposure to water conditions. Freshwater biodiversity constitute a valu able natural resource but extensive pollution ...
Dynamic of tributyltin influence on DNA damage in haemocytes and cardiac activity of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis
(Institute of Experimental Medicine (Prague, Czech Republic) and the University of Kentucky (USA), 2016)
Adverse effects of antifouling paints containing organotin compound tributylin (TBT) marked this agent as one of the most toxic substances released into the sea; therefore, its usage is banned. Considering the lack of TBT ...
DNA damage and histopathological alterations in liver and gills of common bream Abramis brama (L.) as biomarkers of the Danube River pollution
(Institute of Geography of SAS, 2018)
Biomarkers are used in ecosystem health assessment because they provide information about
the biological effects of pollution. Aquatic ecosystems are often the ultimate recipients of
different pollutants, which may have ...
The impact of the Danube River pollution on biomarkers response in the liver and gills of common bream Abramis brama (L., 1758)
(University of Agriculture in Krakow, 2018)
The Danube, the second largest river in Europe, is of great importance for all the countries in the basin for production of drinking water, water supply for domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes. Along the stream, ...
Identification of hotspots of genotoxicological and faecal pollution along the Danube and Sava rivers – the whole river surveys
(University of Agriculture in Krakow, 2018)
The level of genotoxic pollution was assessed along the Danube River and its most significant tributary Sava River by measuring the level of DNA damage in aquatic organisms collected from the selected sites. The Danube ...
