Abstract: This study on Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and lugworms (Arenicola marina) explores combined stressors. Oysters exposed to intermittent hypoxia and fluctuating temperatures showed metabolic shifts, tissue damage, and energy depletion. Lugworms exposed to UV filters (nano zinc oxide, avobenzone) experienced oxidative damage and metabolic changes, with nZnO dominating effects. Results reveal complex interactions, showing combined stressors can mitigate, enhance, or have biphasic effects, stressing limits of single-stressor studies and advancing UV filter ecotoxicology.
