Abstract
The use of fish to monitor metal contamination is well established, but existing studies often focus on internal tissues that require the sacrifice of organisms. Developing non-lethal methods is thus a scientific challenge to enable large scale biomonitoring of wildlife health. We explored blood as a potential non-lethal monitoring tool for metal contamination in brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) as a model species. First, we investigated differences in metal contamination loads (i.e., Cr, Cu, Se, Zn, As, Cd, Pb and Sb) in different blood components (whole blood, red blood cells and plasma). Whole blood was reliable to measure most metals, implying that blood centrifugation is not necessary, thus minimizing sample preparation time. Second, we measured the within individual distribution of metals across tissues (whole blood, muscle, liver, bile, kidney and gonads) to test if blood could be a reliable monitoring tool compared to other tissues. Results show that the whole blood was reliable compared to muscle and bile to measure the levels of metals such as Cr, Cu, Se, Zn, Cd and Pb. This study opens the possibility for future ecotoxicological studies in fish to use blood instead of internal tissues to quantify some metals, thus reducing the negative impacts of biomonitoring on wildlife.

Tissue and gender-related differences in the elemental composition of juvenile ocean sunfish (Mola spp.). CHEMOSPHERE 2021; 272:129131. [PMID: 33592516 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2020.129131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2020] [Revised: 11/22/2020] [Accepted: 11/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Trace elements are potentially critical contaminants of aquatic environments and fish, occupying upper trophic levels, are especially vulnerable to bioaccumulation. Due to public health concerns, however, data on the elemental composition of non-commercially important marine species are particularly lacking. Ocean sunfish (Mola spp.) attain a low commercial value worldwide and information on their elemental composition is limited. In this context, we examined the concentration of 11 trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd and Pb) in eight tissues [brain, gills, gelatin (subcutaneous white gelatinous layer), gonads, spleen, liver, white muscle and red muscle] of 20 juvenile specimens (37.5-85.5 cm TL). Gender-related differences were solely found in the gonads and chiefly for essential elements possibly as a result of their importance in embryo development. Overall, Zn and As were the elements observed in greatest concentrations in body tissues. The considerably high presence of As should be related to the dietary preferences of juvenile ocean sunfish. Considerable inter-individual variability in the concentration of each element in any given tissue was observed, especially in the liver, likely originating from the inclusion of both benthic and pelagic prey in the diet of analysed fish. Greatest elemental loads were found in the liver and gills whereas lowest loads were observed in white muscle, brain and gelatin. Moreover, a clear distinction in elemental load and elemental composition was observed between white and red muscles, likely deriving from existing divergent metabolism-related physiological adaptations linked to their different roles in locomotion.

Abstract
Although Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801) counts among the most appreciated and increasingly consumed fish species in Europe, little information is available on its flesh quality. This research concerns both healthy aquatic resource diversification and good nutritional quality. It is the first study to evaluate the quality of A. regius flesh from Mediterranean aquaculture. It aims to assess the concentration of 19 trace elements and to determine the fatty acid profile of this fish farmed in the Mediterranean Sea and to discuss human exposure risks. The nutritional intake of oligoelements (selenium (Se), zinc (Zn), and chromium (Cr)) and the mean concentrations of contaminants (arsenic (As), barium (Ba), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and tin (Sn)) in A. regius muscles are, respectively, above and below recommended regulatory standards set by the international legislation. Additionally, the low fat content in its muscle mass and its high level of docosahexaenoic acid (C22: 6 n-3; DHA) and, to a lesser extent, eicosapentaenoic acid (C20: 5 n-3; EPA) confers satisfying nutritional qualities. This study allowed to conclude that meager can be considered as a source of seafood with good nutritional qualities for human health.

Abstract
The effects of body size and season on the elemental composition of ocean sunfish Mola mola were assessed for the first time. A total of 57 by-caught juvenile specimens measuring between 31.8 and 120.3 cm were sampled in spring and autumn. Concentrations of trace elements (three essential - Co, Cu, Zn, and three non-essential - As, Cd, Pb) were determined in five body tissues [gills, gelatin (subcutaneous white gelatinous layer), liver, white muscle and red muscle]. Elemental composition of M. mola tissues was found to vary with both body size and season. When an effect of size was verified, the most common trend was a decrease in elemental levels with increasing fish size, most likely deriving from the fast growth rate of this fish (i.e. dilution effect) and the occurrence of an ontogenetic shift in dietary preferences. Differently, Zn levels increased with fish size in both gills and red muscle, potentially deriving from a greater physiological need in those tissues as fish grow. Seasonal differences in trace element levels were observed for approximately half of the studied cases (tissue/trace element) with greater elemental concentrations being mostly found in autumn. Such pattern was most obvious in liver tissue, presumably resulting from a greater dietary elemental uptake in the end of summer/autumn. A general absence of seasonal differences was observed in the gills, white muscle and red muscle. Interestingly, a trend of enhanced concentrations in spring was observed for gelatin, potentially deriving from past long-term differences in exposure to trace elements.

Abstract
Among all available species, fish are a powerful model for risk-benefit assessments to study the effects of contaminants on human health. Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata, Linnaeus 1758) and european seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax, Linnaeus 1758) are two species of great economic importance, representing very large production volumes in the Mediterranean. The objective of this study is (1) to analyze the concentrations of Trace Elements (TE) between wild and cultured seabream and seabass specimens, (2) to compare the determined concentrations with other studies, and (3) to increase the data about the potential risks to human health. Our results point to significant intra- and interspecies-specific differences between wild and cultured fish for several trace elements. Several strong and moderate inter-elemental correlations in fish muscle were observed through correlation analysis. In our study, the mean levels of trace elements were still below the standard safety values for fish intended for human consumption. The same results were reached for all the parameters analyzed (international legal limits, estimated weekly intake, provisional tolerable weekly intake, target hazard quotient, target cancer risk), with trace element levels in fish below those that could pose a risk to human health. Consequently, these fish can be considered safe for human consumption. A better understanding of the levels of trace elements in fish would also better inform consumers about the potential risks of exposure to contaminants.

Abstract
Total and cytosolic concentrations of twenty metals/metalloids in the liver of brown trout Salmo trutta (Linnaeus, 1758) were studied in the period from April 2015 to May 2016 at two sampling sites on Croatian river Krka, to establish if river water contamination with metals/metalloids downstream of Knin town has influenced metal bioaccumulation in S. trutta liver. Differences were observed between two sites, with higher concentrations of several elements (Ag, As, Ca, Co, Na, Se, Sr, V) found downstream of Knin town, whereas few others (Cd, Cs, Mo, Tl) were, unexpectedly, increased at the Krka River spring. However, total metal/metalloid concentrations in the liver of S. trutta from both sites of the Krka River were still mainly below previously reported levels for pristine freshwaters worldwide. The analysis of seasonal changes of metal/metalloid concentrations in S. trutta liver and their association with fish sex and size mostly indicated their independence of fish physiology, making them good indicators of water contamination and exposure level. Metal/metalloid concentrations in the metabolically available hepatic cytosolic fractions reported in this study are the first data of that kind for S. trutta liver, and the majority of analyzed elements were present in the cytosol in the quantity higher than 50% of their total concentrations, thus indicating their possible availability for toxic effects. However, the special attention should be directed to As, Cd, Cs, and Tl, which under the conditions of increased exposure tended to accumulate more within the cytosol. Although metal/metalloid concentrations in S. trutta liver were still rather low, monitoring of the Krka River water quality and of the health status of its biota is essential due to a trend of higher metal/metalloid bioaccumulation downstream of Knin town, especially taking into consideration the proximity of National Park Krka and the need for its conservation.

Abstract
The present study evaluates the relation between chronic arsenic (As) exposure in the natural distribution area of wild brown trout (Salmo trutta), oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymatic defenses. Two rivers of the same watershed were evaluated to highlight the correlation between As accumulation and the resulting stress: (i) the Presa River, which has high chronic As levels (2281.66 µg/L) due to past mining activity, and (ii) the Bravona River (control river). This metalloid was measured in main fish tissues (gills, kidney, liver, muscle, gonads and fins) and water. As organotropism in S. trutta was kidney > liver > gill > fin > gonad > muscle. The HepatoSomatic Index (HSI) and somatic condition (CF) were used to compare fish population conditions from both sites. Arsenic can be absorbed by the gills and can induce oxidative stress and disturb antioxidant defenses. The aim of this study was to evaluate oxidative stress response by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) content, as a marker of lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymatic defenses (Superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase CAT, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and glutathione S-transferase (GST)), in the main tissues of control and exposed trout. The highest MDA content was found in the kidney and liver of exposed trout. SOD and CAT activities in exposed livers and kidneys were considerably increased while a significant rise of GPx activity was observed only in the liver. GST activity was found to be significantly induced in the liver of exposed trout. The results demonstrate that arsenic bioaccumulation can induce lipid peroxidation and substantial modifications in antioxidant enzymatic defenses in main wild trout tissues.

Abstract
Concentrations of fourteen trace elements (essential and toxic) in the composite samples (collected from 30 different agro-ecological zones for the first time in Bangladesh) of three highly consumed cultured fish species (Labeo rohita, Pangasius pangasius and Oreochromis mossambicus) were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The estimated daily dietary intake (EDI) of all the studied elements was estimated on the basis of a calculation of the amount of fish consumed by Bangladeshi households (mean fish consumption of 49.5 g person(-1) d(-1)). The studied fish species pose no risk with respect to the EDI of Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Zn, Se, Cu, Mo, Mn, Sb, Ba, V, and Ag. Among the three studied fishes O. mossambicus showed higher content of dietary arsenic (1.486 mg kg(-1)). From the human health point of view, this study showed that the inhabitants in the arsenic-contaminated area, who consume arsenic-contaminated water with fish (especially for O. mossambicus), are exposed chronically to arsenic pollution with carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks.

Camizuli E, Monna F, Scheifler R, Amiotte-Suchet P, Losno R, Beis P, Bohard B, Chateau C, Alibert P. Impact of trace metals from past mining on the aquatic ecosystem: a multi-proxy approach in the Morvan (France). ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2014; 134:410-419. [PMID: 25255284 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2014.07.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2014] [Revised: 07/09/2014] [Accepted: 07/16/2014] [Indexed: 06/03/2023]
Abstract
This study seeks to determine to what extent trace metals resulting from past mining activities are transferred to the aquatic ecosystem, and whether such trace metals still exert deleterious effects on biota. Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn were measured in streambed sediments, transplanted bryophytes and wild brown trout. This study was conducted at two scales: (i) the entire Morvan Regional Nature Park and (ii) three small watersheds selected for their degree of contamination, based on the presence or absence of past mining sites. The overall quality of streambed sediments was assessed using Sediment Quality Indices (SQIs). According to these standard guidelines, more than 96% of the sediments sampled should not represent a threat to biota. Nonetheless, in watersheds where past mining occurred, SQIs are significantly lower. Transplanted bryophytes at these sites consistently present higher trace metal concentrations. For wild brown trout, the scaled mass and liver indices appear to be negatively correlated with liver Pb concentrations, but there are no obvious relationships between past mining and liver metal concentrations or the developmental instability of specimens. Although the impact of past mining and metallurgical works is apparently not as strong as that usually observed in modern mining sites, it is still traceable. For this reason, past mining sites should be monitored, particularly in protected areas erroneously thought to be free of anthropogenic contamination.

Abstract
Concentrations of mercury and arsenic in fish from the Persian Gulf were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Concentrations of the metals in muscle samples were 0.049-0.402 μg g(-1) for mercury and 0.168-0.479 μg g(-1) for arsenic, with means of 0.133 and 0.312 μg g(-1), respectively. The maximum daily consumption rate (grams per day) and meal consumption limit (meals per month) was calculated to estimate health risks associated with fish consumption. According to the results, the maximum allowable consumption rate varies between 8-56 and 15-96 g/day base on mercury and arsenic content, respectively. The results of this study indicate that the concentration of mercury and arsenic is well below the maximum permissible levels for mercury (0.5 μg g(-1)) and arsenic (6 μg g(-1)) according to international standards.
