A mini review on 6PPD quinone: A new threat to aquaculture and fisheries.

Numerous toxic substances are directly and indirectly discharged by humans into water bodies, causing distress to the organisms living on it. 6PPD, an amino antioxidant from tires reacts with ozone to form 6PPD-Q, which has garnered global attention due to its lethal nature to various organisms. This review aims to provide an understanding of the sources, transformation, and fate of 6PPD-Q in water and the current knowledge on its effects on aquatic organisms. Furthermore, we discuss research gaps pertaining to the mechanisms by which 6PPD-Q acts within fish bodies. Previous studies have demonstrated the ubiquitous presence of 6PPD-Q in the environment, including air, water, and soil. Moreover, this compound has shown high lethality to certain fish species while not affecting others. Toxicological studies have revealed its impact on the nervous system, intestinal barrier function, cardiac function, equilibrium loss, and oxidative stress in various fish species. Additionally, exposure to 6PPD-Q has led to organ injury, lipid accumulation, and cytokine production in C. elegans and mice. Despite studies elucidating the lethal dose and effects of 6PPD-Q in fish species, the underlying mechanisms behind these symptoms remain unclear. Future studies should prioritize investigating the mechanisms underlying the lethality of 6PPD-Q in fish species to gain a better understanding of its potential effects on different organisms.

Effects of microplastics and nanoplastics in shrimp: Mechanisms of plastic particle and contaminant distribution and subsequent effects after uptake.

To date, previous studies have reported the adverse effects of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) on both freshwater and marine organisms. However, the information on MPs' and NPs' effects on shrimp species is scarce. In addition, the factors influencing the distribution of these particles in aquatic systems have been explained, yet the mechanisms behind MPs and NPs distribution and consumption, specifically to crustaceans and shrimp, have not been elucidated in detail. The effects of MPs and NPs as well as plastic-carried contaminants and pathogens on shrimp are critical to shrimp production and subsequent human consumption. Recent findings are required to review and discuss to open up new avenues for emerging Shrimp and crustacean research for sustainability. This review summarizes the distribution and fate of MPs and NPs along with contaminants and pathogens and identifies potential risks to shrimp health. The transport of MPs and NPs is influenced by their plastic properties, hydrodynamics, and water properties. Additionally, the fate of these particles on a plastic surface (plastisphere) is regulated by contaminant properties. Pathogens thriving on plastic surfaces and contaminants adsorbed can reach aquatic organisms directly with plastic particles or indirectly after release to an aquatic environment. MPs and NPs can be absorbed by shrimp through their gills and mouth and accumulate in their internal organs. Innate immunity influenced the degree of survival rate, tissue damage, alteration of gut microbiota, and increased oxidative stress caused by MPs and NPs accumulation. The studies on the effects of MPs and NPs are still not sufficient to understand how these particles are absorbed from various parts of the shrimp body and the fate of these plastics inside the body.
