  Effects of chlorpyrifos on the freshwater mussel Unio elongatulus eucirrus (Bourguignat, 1860), with a focus on neurotoxicity and oxidative stress responses; [Efectos del clorpirifos en el mejillón de agua dulce Unio elongatulus eucirrus (Bourguignat, 1860), con especial atención a la neurotoxicidad y las respuestas al estrés oxidativo]

  This study set out to investigate the effects of the organophosphate insecticide chlorpyrifos (CPF) on certain biochemical parameters of the freshwater mussel Unio elongatulus eucirrus. Mussels were exposed to varying concentrations of CPF (10, 20, and 40 μg·L-1) for duration of 96 hours. Samples were collected from the mussels at the 24th and 96th hours of the experiment. The results indicated that exposure to CPF concentrations led to a decline in the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activities and, accompanied by an increase in malondialdehyde (MDA), and decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in mussels. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that CPF caused AChE inhibition, formation of oxidative stress, and negative effects on certain antioxidant parameters in the freshwater mussel U. elongatulus eucirrus.

  The present study aimed to determine and compare the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in two freshwater species of mussels Unio elongatulus eucirrus (Bourguignat, 1860) and Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771) in Keban Dam Lake, Turkey. The amount of Arsenic (As), Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb) and Uranium (U) were detected. Heavy metals concentrations (ppm) of these heavy metals in U. e. eucirrus and D. polymorpha were 1.071 and 1.376 for As, 0.174 and 0.335 for Cd, 0.004 and 3.817 for Cu, 0 and 0.267 for Pb, 0.004 and 0.267 for U, respectively. Arsenic concentrations in the tissues of both species have exceeded the maximum permission limits in all sampling sites. The concentrations of Cu and U were considerably greater in D. polymorpha specimens than in U. e. eucirrus (p<0.05). The results obtained from the present study showed that both species accumulated heavy metals generally in the following sequences: Cu > As > Cd > Pb >U. The present results indicated that D. polymorpha may be a better bioindicator of environmental pollution than U. e. eucirrus, since it showed a higher accumulation capacity.
