Özet

The metallic pyrithiones are used as antifouling paints for marine vehicles against fouling organisms. However, they are dissolved in marine water and have negative impacts on marine non-target organisms. This study evaluated the adverse effects of sodium pyrithione (NaPT) on Mytilus galloprovincialis using total hemocyte counts (THCs), oxidative stress and antioxidant parameters, and histopathological observations. Mussels were exposed to 0.1 and 1 mu g/L NaPT for 96 h. The THC values of the NaPT-exposed mussels significantly decreased (p < 0.05). Lipid peroxidation and advanced oxidative protein products of digestive gland and gill tissues were decreased but only the digestive gland tissues of 0.1 mu g/L NaPT values were significantly decreased compared to control groups (p < 0.05). Histological alterations were observed in the gill and the digestive gland tissues revealing malformations and hyperplasia of gill lamella; degenerations and loss of tubules of digestive gland after exposure to NaPT for 96 h. As a result, biocidal sodium pyrithione has adverse effects on the mussels even in short-term exposures and low concentrations.
