Abstract

The present study aimed to study the effect of pollution on rabbitfish Marbled spinefoot (Siganus rivulatus) seasonally caught from the two polluted area El-Mex Bay and Abu-Qir Bay and non-polluted area as controls. The rocky coast between Kayet Bey Fork and El-Boughaz opening in the Eastern Harbor toward the open sea was taken as control area. The activity of ATPases in gills and heavy metals accumulation in white muscle, gills, and liver of rabbitfish was assessed. These could be helpful for the understanding of physiological regulation mechanism for seasonal adaptation. The activities of Na+/K+-ATPase, Ca2+ Mg2+-ATPase reached maximum activity in summer in fish caught from control area but the activity decreased in the two polluted areas. The physicochemical characteristics of water in these areas were assessed. The accumulation of zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), cupper (Cu), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were assessed white muscle, gills, and liver. The accumulation of heavy metals increased in the season’s summer, spring than autumn and winter. The order of accumulation was Fe>Zn>Cu>Pb>Cd. The combined effects of increased heavy metals accumulation and low salinity of El-Mex Bay influence on osmoregulation and decreased the activity of ATPases.
