The present study was aimed to determine the lethality of the insecticide fipronil on two early life stages, post-larvae, and fingerling, of Colossoma macropomum, by determining the lethal concentration 50 (LC50). Five nominal concentrations (0.12; 0.165; 0.21; 0.255 and 0.30 mg/L) and a control in 4 replicates per treatment for 48 hours of exposure were used for the post-larvae; and other nominal concentrations (0.22; 0.27; 0.34; 0.43 and 0.54 mg/L) and a control in 3 replicates per treatment for 96 hours of exposure were used for the fingerling stage. The LC50 value was calculated as 0.22 mg/L and 0.33 mg/L for the post-larvae and fingerling stages, respectively. In addition, the maximum concentration that causes no mortality (MCNM) and the minimum concentration that causes mortality (MCM) for the post-larvae stage were determined as 0.12 and 0.15 mg/L, respectively; and 0.16 and 0.22 ...

Marine litter is a complex environmental issue threatening the well-being of multiple organisms. In the present study, we present an overlooked pathway by which marine litter interaction with certain ovigerous skates (Family: Rajidae) communities could compromise their survival. We propose that skates from the genus Sympterygia deposit their egg capsules on marine litter substrates by accident, which are then washed ashore still unhatched. We conducted 10 monitoring surveys on three beaches of La Libertad Region, on the north coast of Peru, looking for marine litter conglomerates to determine the presence of egg capsules. We registered a total of 75 marine litter conglomerates, containing 1595 egg capsules, out of which only 15.9 % were presumably hatched, and 15.8 % were still fresh. Fishing materials were identified as the main item in marine litter conglomerates. We conclude that this...

In the present contribution, two nationwide surveys of personal protective equipment (PPE) pollution were conducted in Peru and Argentina aiming to provide valuable information regarding the abundance and distribution of PPE in coastal sites. Additionally, PPE items were recovered from the environment and analyzed by Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and compared to brand-new PPE in order to investigate the chemical and structural degradation of PPE in the environment. PPE density (PPE m− 2 ) found in both countries were comparable to previous studies. FTIR analysis revealed multiple polymer types comprising common PPE, mainly polypropylene, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, and polyester. SEM micrographs showed clear weathering signs, such as cracks, cavities, and r...
