Abstract The main objective of the current study was to assess the impact of the water taken from the ‘Tunisian Refining Industries Company’ on meiobenthic nematodes, before and after a series of treatments in decantation basins followed by its discharge in Bizerte bay, Tunisia. The comparison of environmental parameters of the two types of water was clearly indicative of an improvement in the quality of treated waters after a significant reduction in their loads in hydrocarbons. Overall, the water retained a good quality after being treated by ‘Tunisian Refining Industries Company’ before discharge in the sea. At the end of the experiment, differential responses were observed according to the richness of sediment in organic matter and hydrocarbons. Thus, it was apparent that the nematode assemblage exposed to the treated waters was closer to controls and associated to higher values of abundance, than that under untreated ones. It was also assumed that the species Microlaimus honestus De Man, 1922, Paramonohystera proteus Wieser, 1956 and Cyartonema germanicum Juario, 1972 are sensitive bioindicators of bad environmental statues and of hydrocarbon presence in the environment. On the other hand, Metoncholaimus pristiurus (Zur Strassen, 1894) Filipjev, 1918 would rather be classified as a positive bioindicative species of this type of pollutants.

Estuarine of Kedungmalang has salinity variability and is assumed to bepolluted by cadmium (Cd) derived from human activities around Kedung region. In this study, bioaccumulation of Cd by white shrimp Penaeus merguienis in relation with salinity difference was determined. Sampling was conducted at four stations : estuary (15‰ and 25‰ of salinity) and husbandry area (15‰ and 25‰ of salinity). Data on in situ water quality parameters was obtained at each station. Absorption Atomic Spectrometer was used to measure Cd concentration. The water quality of parameters and the concentrations of Cd in the shrimp were compared with quality standards and weekly consumption limit of white shrimps is also suggested. The Cd concentrations on the white shrimp was found the highest concentration of 0.669 μg.g-1 . The limit comsumption of the white shrimp of Estuarine of Kedungmalang,suggested by the resut of this study, is about 523-1537 grams per week.

Parasites in banana prawns, P. merguiensis, from the Gulf of Carpentaria were surveyed. Only the lecanicephalid cestode Polypocephalus sp. seemed useful as a biological marker for banana prawns. Loads of Polypocephalus sp. were low and constant at salinities from 14 to 34. At higher salinities (38), both intensity and prevalence of infection rose markedly from 0.5 Polypocephalus sp. per prawn and 27% to 6.25 and 95%, respectively. The frequency distribution of Polypocephalus sp. was adequately described by a non-truncated form of the negative binomial distribution (n = 943, p = 35.4, k = 0.43) suggesting there were no parasite-induced mortalities. Loads of Polypocephalus sp. in prawns in the commercial catch from Albatross Bay were most similar to loads in prawns from the Mission River, which empties into Albatross Bay. Polypocephalus sp. loads in Penaeus merguiensis formed two other natural groupings, one in the south-east corner of the Gulf and one in the Cape Keerweer-Mitchell River area. There was no parasitological evidence for extensive migrations of adolescent P. merguiensis away from their nursery estuaries.
