The vulnerability depends on the analysis of the elements that compose it: exposure, sensitivity, and recovery capacity. In this work, the use of tissue responses that have been recommended as biomarkers to measure the elements of vulnerability in the Polymesoda caroliniana clam is proposed, in addition to obtaining a histopathological...
In environmental monitoring, the qualitative evaluation of histological alterations has been proposed as a biomarker to evaluate the effects of contamination in aquatic organisms. However, quantitative analysis tools that allow the determination of the health of wild or experimental organisms are not considered. The aim was to calculate the health...
In the environmental monitoring it has been pointed out the importance of using histopathological scoring system protocols to determine environmental stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate semi-quantitatively the histopathological changes in the liver, gills and muscle of the fish Scomberomorus cavalla to determine the health status...
Las alteraciones en eritrocitos aportan información sobre el estado de salud de los peces así como del medio en el que se desarrollan. Sin embargo, estas alteraciones no han sido bien categorizadas de forma semicuantitativa. Es importante conocer la importancia patológica de las alteraciones en eritrocitos para generar protocolos de...
