    Morphofunctional alterations induced by chlorpyrifos on the gills apparatus of Thalassomapavo
    Author(s): Rachele Macirella, Vittoria Curcio and Elvira Brunelli

    Coastal areas represent the most vulnerable marine environment due to human exploitation and the contamination caused by pollutants. Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) have gained popularity worldwide as a viable alternative to organochlorine pesticides, and currently represent almost 40% of the global market (Triassi et al. 2019). One of the most employed OPs is chlorpyrifos (CPF), a broad-spectrum insecticide commonly used for domestic and agricultural pests (Bellas and Gil 2020). Based on its chemical properties and its toxicity to non-target organisms, CPF is of great concern to aquatic ecosystems where its presence has been extensively documented (Bellas and Gil 2020; Zahran et al., 2018). In the present study, we used as a model the ornate wrasse, Thalassomapavo, a widespread species in the Mediterranean Sea that inhabit coastal waters near rocks. We investigated the m.. View More»
