V originále
Progress in ecotoxicological research documents that crustaceans are highly vulnerable to diverse chemicals and toxicants in the environment. In particular, pollutants affecting endocrine homeostasis in crustaceans (i.e. endocrine disruptors) are intensively studied, and serious reproductive disorders have been documented. In this review, current knowledge about the endocrine regulation of the crustacean reproduction is put together with the published ecotoxicological data with an attempt to summarize the potential of xenobiotics to affect crustacean reproduction. Following gaps and trends were identified: (1) Studies are required in the field of neurohormone (serotonin and dopamine) regulation of the reproduction and possible modulations by environmental toxicants such as antidepressant drugs. (2) Molting-related parameters (regulated by ecdysteroid hormones) are closely coordinated with the development and reproduction cycles in crustaceans (cross-links with methyl farnesoate signalling), and their susceptibility to toxicants should be studied. (3) Other biochemical targets for xenobiotics were recently discovered in crustaceans and these should be explored by further ecotoxicological studies (e.g. new information about ecdysteroid receptor molecular biology). (4) Some sex steroid hormones known from vertebrates (testosterone, progesterone) have been reported in crustaceans but knowledge about their targets (crustacean steroid receptors) and signalling is still limited. (5) Determination of the sex in developing juveniles (affecting the sex ratio in population) is a sensitive parameter to various xenobiotics (including endocrine disruptors) but its modulation by general environmental stress and non-specific toxicity should be further studied.
In Czech
Výzkumy v rámci ekotoxikologie korýšů dokumentují, že tento taxon je vysoce citlivý k různým chemikáliím a polutantům, které se vyskytují v prostředí. Zejména látky ovlivňující hormonální rovnováhu(tzv. endokrinní disruptory) mohou vážně ovlivnit reprodukci korýšů. Toto review suamarizuje současné znalosti o endkrinní regulaci korýšů a syntetizuje je s poznatky o negativních efekterch některých xenobiotik na reprodukční schopnost korýšů.
