Genotoxicity by Pahs in Shrimp (Litopenaeus Vannamei) and its Impact on the Aquaculture of two Coastal Ecosystems of The Gulf of California, Mexico
Author(s): Guillermo Galindo Reyes*
During the lasts decades, aquaculture of several species have growth vertiginously around the world. In Mexico the
shrimp aquaculture has been the most important. About 73-75% of shrimp hatcheries are in coastal ecosystems
of the states of Sonora and Sinaloa, located along the Gulf of California. In this States there is not oil industry;
however, several industries and other activities discharge petroleum derivatives (imprudently or accidentally) into
coastal waters; as happens in Teacapan estuary and Huizache-Caimanero lagoon. The aim of this work was to
quantify the levels of PAHs in water of these ecosystems, and to evaluate the genotoxic damage to shrimp, under
laboratory conditions. Water samples were taken during rainy and dry months from both coastal systems, and
then analyzed by Gas Chromatography (GC). Once known the PAHs concentrations, lots of seven juv.. View more»
