Biochemical Biomarkers as a Tool in Chromium Induced Toxicity to Green Tiger Prawn, Penaeus semisulcatus (De-Haan, 1844)
Abstract: Estuarine ecosystem and its biodiversity are at higher risk due to coastal contamination by heavy metals and conservation of biodiversity can be accomplished by utilizing biomarkers of pollutant at different exposure levels. In the present study, chronic toxicity test was conducted to evaluate the antioxidants and enzymes as the possible biomarkers in Green Tiger Prawn, Penaeus semisulcatus. The chronic endpoint value (MATC), no-observed effect concentration (NOEC), and low-observed effective concentration …

The Crustacean Animal: Potamon magnum
Abstract: In the present study, the most recent visceral crustacean Potamon magnum was studied. It is a genus of freshwater or semi-earth crabs found mainly through the Middle East from Southern Europe, as far east as north-west Egypt. The mere exception is the North African P. algeriense, which is also continental Africa's only potamid. There are currently 20 species identified. Such crabs are omnivores with high environmental tolerance. Throughout their 10–12 …
