Résumé

The present study was conducted to assess, for the first time, the effects of a 14 days experimental exposure to polyethylene (PE) based MPs (40-48 µm) on the clam Ruditapes decussatus. Clams were exposed to three different concentrations of MPs in controlled laboratory conditions: 10 µg/L (low), 100 µg/L (medium), and 1000 µg/L (high). The effects of MPs were assessed using a multi-marker approach, including the filtration rate, growth, and the integrity of immune cells (such as haemocyte numbers, viability, and lysosomal membrane destabilization). The results revealed that as the concentration of PE-MPs increased, the filtration rate decreased, indicating that PE-MPs hindered the clams' ability to filter water. Furthermore, there was a noticeable decrease in the overall weight of the clams, particularly in the group exposed to 1000 µg/L. This decrease could be attributed to the impairment of their nutrient filtration function. In terms of immune system biomarkers, exposure to PE-MPs led to immune system disruption, characterized by a significant increase in the number of haemocytic cells, especially in the group exposed to the high concentration. Additionally, there was a notable reduction in the viability of haemocytes, resulting in the destabilization of their lysosomal membranes, particularly in the groups exposed to medium and high PE-MPs concentrations. The findings of this study indicate that the sensitivity of hemolymph parameter changes and filtration rate in R. decussatus exposed to PE-MPs (100 and 1000 µg/L), surpasses that of growth performance and can serve as reliable indicators to assess habitat conditions and contaminant levels.
