Pregunta Respuesta
Osmoregulation Ability of an organism to control concentration of solutes/ions in body fluid
Excretion release of waste from the body, particularly metabolic waste (e.g. ammonia, product of protein breakdown)
Osmoconformer Organism with internal ion concentrations that conform to the environment
Osmoregulator Organism that maintains a specific ion concentration, different from the environment
Hyperosmotic side of a membrane with more ions
Hypo-osmotic side of a membrane with fewer ions
isosmotic point point at which ion concentration is the same on both sides of a membrane
Sodium-Potassium ATPase osmoregulation facilitating enzyme that maintains Na, K, and Cl gradient in gills and intestines
Carbonic Anhydrase Osmoregulation facilitating enzyme that hydrates CO2 into H+ and HCO3-, maintaining acid/base balance
Osmoregulatory Capacity Difference between osmotic pressures of hemolymph and external medium at a given salinity
O:N ratio Oxygen Consumed vs. Nitrogen excreted; measure of lipid vs protein metabolism (high = more lipids, low = more protein)
Major general changes in osmoregulation/excretion by pollution change in gill/excretory organ structure, inhibition of ATPase and CAH, alteration of ion pumps/channels; osmoreg depressed by range of pollutants, excretion depressed or elevated depending on many factors
Deleterious effects of pollution on Osmoreg/Excretion of Crustaceans altered ion balance; reduced acid/base regulation; altered gill function/structure altered ion pump/channel function; reduced ATP-ase activity; altered osmolality of hemolymph; altered osmoregulatory capacity; reduced Overall osmoregulatory ability (maintenance of hypo- or hyper-osmoregulation, ability to maintain ions in cells); altered ammonia excretion; reduced metabolic rate
Crustacean osmoreg/excretory resistance/hormesis Mangrove crabs in polluted environments adapt, leading to greater ability for osmoregulation and higher ATP-ase activity
Deleterious effects of pollution on osmoreg/excretion of Mollusks reduced osmoregulatory efficiency altered ion concentration in hemolymph altered ammonia excretion altered oxygen consumption reduced Feeding reduced O:N ratio
Resistance/hormesis of Osmoreg/excretion in Mollusks Observed to increase excretion in an attempt to flush out toxic compounds; Periwinkles highly resistant to sites polluted with oil and copper; Mediterranean mussels increased absorption efficiency and ammonium excretion under lowered pH
Deleterious Effects of pollution on osmoreg/excretion in fish altered gill tissue/structure altered ATPase activity altered ion concentrations/balance altered Osmolality reduced survival when moved to saltwater altered pH balance altered CAH activity altered ammonia excretion reduced hormone function altered O:N ratio Ionoregulatory stress (leading to death) reduced Ionocytes increased urea excretion reduced survival
Resistance/hormesis of Osmoreg/excretion in Fish Tilapia in arsenic showed increases in ATPase activity, plasma osmolality, and cell development Ammonia excretion may counteract effects of acidification
Deleterious effects of pollution on Osmoreg/excretion in Other Taxa Polychaetes: edema/curled posture reduced O2 consumption altered ion balance Echinoderms: altered Ion/pH balance (Acidosis)
Major constituents of Endocrine system Testes, Ovaries, + Adrenal, Thyroid, and Pituitary glands
Endocrine disruptors Chemicals/compounds that alter the function of the endocrine system, by blocking receptors, triggering hormone production, or mimicking hormones (e.g. PCBs and Bisphenol-A mimic estrogens, leading to feminization)
Gametogenesis production of gametes (Oogenesis = eggs, spermatogenesis = sperm)
Deleterious effects of pollution on Reproduction in Crustaceans reduced gonad development/growth altered sex expression altered hormone levels reduced Fertility reduced egg production and yolk content reduced egg survival reduced hatching rates/success reduced offspring mortality/development altered body size reduced sexual maturation reduce mating success
Hormesis/Resistance of Reproduction in Crustaceans Grass shrimp resistant to: Low levels of acidification Hypoxia
Deleterious effects of Pollution on Reproduction in Mollusks reduced fertility; altered sex expression; altered levels of free/esterified sex hormones; reduced gamete development/maturation/expression; oocyte resorption; altered GSI; reduced/delayed sexual maturation; reduced sperm motility; reduced Fertilization; reduced gonad development/function; altered spawning rate/period; reduced offspring development/survival; reduced populations of reproductive individuals
Resistance/hormesis of reproduction in Mollusks Display a Higher resistance to CuCl2 than nano-CuO
deleterious effects of pollution on reproduction in fish reduced gonad development/growth altered hormone concentration altered sex expression reduced oogenesis + lipid content in ooplasm reduced Egg viability reduced fertilization success reduced sperm count and motility altered migratory/reproductive behavior reduced offspring survival/development reduced hatching rate/fecundity reduced spawning success susceptibility to other pollutants

Resistance/hormesis of reproduction in other taxa Echinoderms resistant to Metals and acidification; Corals resistant to steroid pollution, despite alterations in steroid concentration in blood
Major general effects of pollution on reproduction altered gonad devel/function, reduced egg/sperm production, altered sex expression, reduced hatching rates/success, reduced fertility/fertilization, offspring mortality, altered hormones
