Article Abstract
In this study, the toxicity effects of titanium dioxide (MTiO ) microparticles on Artemia sp. nauplii instar I and II between 24 and 48 h was evaluated. The MTiO were characterized using different microscopy techniques. MTiO rutile was used in toxicity tests at concentration of 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 ppm. No toxicity was observed in Artemia sp. nauplii instar I at the time of 24 and 48 h. However, Artemia sp. nauplii instar II toxicity was observed within 48 h of exposure. MTiO at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100 ppm was lethal for Artemia sp. with a significant difference (p ≤ .05) in relation to the control artificial sea water with LC value at 50 ppm. Analysis of optical and scanning electron microscopy revealed tissue damage and morphological changes in Artemia sp. nauplii instar II. By using confocal laser scanning microscopy, cell damage was observed due to the toxicity of MTiO at a concentration of 20, 50, and 100 ppm. The high mortality rate is related to the filtration of MTiO by Artemia sp. nauplii instar II due to the complete development of the digestive tract.

Polystyrene microfragments are among the most common plastic pollutants globally. They significantly affect aquatic life, harming various organs and tissues. In this study, we examined the effects of 3 µm polystyrene beads (MPs, 20 µg/L) on development and yolk resorption in pre-feeding nauplii of , a lecithotrophic crustacean used in toxicity testing.

Methods for observing zooplankton feeding are often limited by their small body size. Fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNPs) offer a promising alternative because of their bright fluorescence, photostability, and observability without the need for sophisticated equipment. To assess their potential as fluorescent markers, their physical properties, toxicity, and marking efficiency were ascertained using brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) as a model marine zooplankton.

Green nanoparticles are economically beneficial and do not harm the environment as they are eco-friendly when compared with chemically synthesized silver nanoparticles. Contamination of food and food products with micro-organisms can cause food spoilage and food-borne diseases. This research mainly focuses on United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2, 3, 6, 9, 12), particularly in the areas of health, food safety, and sustainable innovation.

Inorganic mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) have emerged as global pollutants owing to their long-term environmental stability and bioaccumulation. These heavy metals enter aquatic systems via industrial emissions, coal combustion, and natural processes, posing a serious threat to ecosystems and human health. This study assesses the impact of Hg and MeHg on the growth and development of brine shrimp () nauplii by analyzing the histopathological effects on their tissues.
