[Abstract] Aquatic organisms have specialized cells called ionocytes that regulate the ionic composition, osmolarity, and acid/base status of internal fluids. In small aquatic organisms such as fishes in their early life stages, ionocytes are typically found on the cutaneous surface and their abundance can change to help cope with various metabolic and ...

[Abstract] It is essential to provide a protocol for the separation and identification of microplastics in marine vertebrates (mammals, birds, turtles and fish) that is easy to follow and adaptable depending on research infrastructure. Digesting organic material is an effective way to analyze samples for microplastics. Presented here is an optimized protocol ...

[Abstract] Biliary excretion offers a way to analyze various contaminants in aquatic organisms, and fish bile has been used as a biomarker for environmental contamination. The use of the fish bile proteome as a tool for monitoring the impact of environmental contaminants has been recently validated. However, scarce studies in this context are available, and ...
