Microplastics in Scylla Serrata: A baseline study from southwest India

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Scylla serrata plays a crucial role in India's seafood exports yet there exists limited understanding on the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in these crabs. In this baseline study, we examined the presence of microplastics in the digestive tracts of S. serrata collected from the Kota mangroves, southwestern coast of India.

How does the internal distribution of microplastics in Scylla serrata link with the antioxidant response in functional tissues?

Environmental Pollution, 2023
Crabs can live in diverse lifestyles in both water and benthic environments, which are the basin of microplastics (MPs) inputs. Edible crabs with large consuming quantity, e.g., Scylla serrata were subjected to accumulate MPs in their tissues from ...

Solid-state mechanochemical synthesis of chitosan from mud crab (Scylla serrata) chitin.

Carbohydrate Research, 2023
This study presents a method for solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis of chitosan from chitin, sourced from the shells of mud crabs (Scylla serrata). The procedure involves a sequence of demineralization and deproteinization to extract chitin from the ...

The impact of ocean acidification and cadmium toxicity in the marine crab Scylla serrata: Biological indices and oxidative stress responses.

Chemosphere, 2023
Ocean acidification (OA) and heavy metals pollution in marine environments are potentially threatening marine life. The interactive effect of OA and heavy metals could be more vulnerable to marine organisms than individual exposures. In the current study,

Towards a sustainable chitosan-based composite scaffold derived from Scylla serrata crab chitosan for bone tissue engineering

Journal of Biomaterials Science. Polymer Edition, 2023
Bone tissue engineering offers a novel therapy for repairing bone defects or fractures. However, it is becoming increasingly challenging because an ideal scaffold should possess a similar porous structure, high biocompatibility, and mechanical properties

Immunotoxic effects of nickel in the mud crab Scylla serrata

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2009
The presence of xenobiotic contaminants especially metals in coastal waters is a major concern as they are immunotoxic to aquatic animals even at low concentrations. In our present study, mud crab Scylla serrata was exposed to three sublethal concentrations (0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mg/L) of nickel for 30 days under laboratory conditions and the alterations of

Whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing revealed the roles of chitin-related genes in the eyestalk abnormality of a novel mud crab hybrid (Scylla serrata ♀ × S. paramamosain ♂).

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2022
Chitin is a kind of insoluble structural polysaccharide and plays different roles in different species. In crustaceans, it forms the structural components in the exoskeleton.

Effect of CO2 driven ocean acidification on the mud crab Scylla serrata instars.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
The decreasing ocean pH seems to adversely affect marine organisms, including crustaceans, which leads to potential threats to seafood safety. The present investigation evaluated the effect of seawater acidification on the edible marine mud crab Scylla ...
