Vitellogenin induction in the clam, Ruditapes philippinarum, and the crab, Carcinus aestuarii, from the Lagoon of Venice: a comparative study
No full textIn the present study, potential exposure to xenoestrogens
was evaluated in the clam Ruditapes philippinarum
and the crab Carcinus aestuarii, both from the Lagoon of
Venice. Animals were collected in 4 sites (Ca' Roman,
Valle di Brenta, Marghera, and Palude del Monte), differently
influenced by anthropogenic impact and natural conditions.
Vitellogenin (Vg)-like protein levels were measured
in digestive gland and haemolymph. The survival-inair
test was also performed on clams, since it is useful in
detecting general stress conditions in bivalves. Clams from
Palude del Monte had higher Vg levels in haemolymph
than those from Valle di Brenta and Ca’ Roman. In digestive
gland, statistically significant differences in Vg levels
were detected in clams from Marghera with respect to those
from Valle di Brenta. In crabs, statistically significant higher
Vg levels were observed in haemolymph of animals from
Palude del Monte, with respect to crabs from Ca’ Roman.
No statistically significant differences were recorded in crab
digestive gland. Significantly increased resistance to air exposure
was observed in clams from Palude del Monte, compared
with that of clams from the other sites. LT50 values
fell from 11 days in clams from Palude del Monte to 5
days in ones from Ca’ Roman. The present study demonstrates
that measurement of Vg levels is a valuable biomarker
in biomonitoring estuarine environments, highlighting
a similar pattern of variation in both species. Although
the animals used have different habits, the two-species approach
identified a peculiar condition for Palude del Monte,
a licensed area for clam culture
