A putative mechanism for maternal transfer of organic contaminants and total mercury was empirically demonstrated in a near-term pregnant female common thresher shark (Alopias vulpinus). Contaminants were measured in the liver and muscle tissue of the mother and her four embryos, as well as the embryos’ stomach contents. Concentrations of organic contaminants and mercury were found to be lower in the embryos’ livers than in the mother’s and were clearly measurable in the embryo stomach contents, which consisted of consumed ovulated eggs. Presence of high concentrations of organic contaminants and mercury in embryos, prior to any exogenous exposure, provides clear evidence of maternal offloading in this species. In addition, the detection of these chemicals in the yolky stomach contents provides a mechanism by which oophagous elasmobranch females offload contaminants onto their young.

AbstractRegeneration is an adaptive phenomenon with wide biological implications spread heterogeneously in almost all the organism including human beings. The ability of regeneration varies from species to species for its impediment. Epimorphic regeneration of zebrafish caudal fin tissue is most widely studied regeneration mechanism for its discrete and rapid regenerative capability. Several genes/proteins were found to be associated with zebrafish caudal fin tissue regeneration. Here, we have evaluated the functional role ofAnnexin 2aand2bgenes in adult zebrafish caudal fin tissue undergoing regeneration using a novel CRSISPR-Cas9 gene knock down approach. Knock down of both the genes individually elicited in decelerated regeneration and down regulation of target genes and its partner genes/proteins such as ANXA1a, ANXA5b and ANXA13. This study validates a novel gene targeting approach and the possible role of annexin in regeneration mechanism.
