英文摘要 | The present study is an attempt to assess the effects of contamination of several sites in the Red Sea coasts of Saudi Arabia using bivalves as a biomonitoring tool. Oxidative stress biomarkers (including reduced glutathione level (GSH), glutathione-S-transferase activity (GST), Malondialdehyde level (MDA) and Catalase activity (CAT)), neurotoxicity acetylcholinesterase activity (ACHE), and genotoxicity micronucleus rate (MN) were measured in three distinct tissues - digestive glands, gills and mantle - of specimens of the giant clam Tridacna maxima, collected from five sites in Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast (Al-Khuraybah, Al-Wajh, Yanbu, Rabigh and Thuwal). Our results demonstrated that T. maxima showed differential biomarker responses according to the nature of pollutants and human activity that affect the coast. This study can be considered as the first one using biomarkers to assess the state of the Red Sea coast in Saudi Arabia which must be followed by periodic studies for surveillance of aquatic pollution. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd |
