Depletion kinetics of semicarbazide in giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) following nitrofurazone oral administration and its occurrence in an aquaculture farm.

Abstract
Semicarbazide (SEM), a marker residue used to monitor the use of prohibited drug nitrofurazone (NFZ), is commonly found in wild crustaceans, implying the natural origin. However, the difference between endogenous and exogenous SEM has rarely been investigated. So, tissue-bound SEM was determined in samples collected from giant river prawns cultured in an aquaculture farm and in samples from an experiment where giant river prawns were fed twice a day with NFZ at 30 mg/kg for 5 days. At day 10 of drug withdrawal, muscle SEM of the NFZ-fed prawn was 17.78 ng/g and depleted to 1.18 ng/g at day 90 (half-life 20.31 days) which was significantly higher than the control prawn (usually ≤ 0.1 ng/g). In contrast, the average SEM in the shell was independent of NFZ treatment. SEM was not found in the aquaculture farm samples, implying that the SEM in cultured prawn did not originate from SEM contamination.

The presence of semicarbazide in crustaceans collected from natural habitats in Thailand. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 347:140686. [PMID: 37952814 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
Semicarbazide (SEM) has been used as a marker residue of the banned veterinary drug nitrofurazone (NFZ). Although evidence indicates that SEM can be found in some natural crustaceans that have never been exposed to NFZ, such information is limited to a few species. The present study aimed to investigate the natural occurrence of SEM in wild crustaceans in Thailand. A total of 14 species, all economically important food animals, were captured from different regions of Thailand. Tissue-bound SEM and its parent drug NFZ were determined by the UPLC-MS/MS and LC-MS methods, respectively. The results showed that while NFZ was not detected in any samples, the tissue-bound SEM could be found in every natural crustacean species investigated. However, the prevalence and concentration varied greatly. The occurrence of SEM in the freshwater palaemonid Macrobrachium prawns is generally much higher than in the marine penaeid shrimps/prawns. SEM was found in 33% and 80% of the giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) muscles (<0.10-0.46 ng/g) and shells (3.68-13.22 ng/g), respectively. In contrast, SEM was not detected in the muscles of penaeid shrimps/prawns (with few exceptions), but it was occasionally found in the shells at low levels (usually <1 ng/g). The shells of saltwater crabs also contained higher levels of SEM than the muscles. For instance, the highest SEM levels detected in the mud crab (Scylla sp.) muscles and shells were 0.40 and 22.75 ng/g, respectively. However, the situation was reversed for the rice-field crab (Sayamia sp. and Esanthelphusa sp.), in which SEM was not detected in all shells but detected in the muscles (up to 1.46 ng/g). The fact that SEM is often found in wild crustaceans implies a natural origin of this substance. Consequently, using SEM as a marker residue of NFZ is controversial and should be reconsidered.
