Abstract
Sea disposal of mine tailings in fjord ecosystems is an important coastal management issue in Norway and occurs at the land-sea interface. Here we studied accumulation of heavy metals in brown crab (Cancer pagurus) and seafloor sediment from Jøssingfjord, Norway during 2018 to evaluate long-term, legacy pollution effects of coastal mine tailing sea disposal activities. Nickel and copper sediment pollution in the mine tailing sea disposal area was classified as moderate and severe, respectively, under Norwegian environmental quality standards, and highlights the persistent hazard and legacy impacts of heavy metals in these impacted fjord ecosystems. Mercury, zinc, and arsenic had stronger affinities to brown crab muscle likely due to the presence of thiols, and availability of metal binding sites. Our multi-isotopic composition data showed that lead isotopes were the most useful source apportionment tool for this fjord. Overall, our study highlights the importance and value of measuring several different heavy metals and multiple isotopic signatures in different crab organs and seafloor sediment to comprehensively evaluate fjord pollution and kinetic uptake dynamics. Brown crabs were suitable eco-indicators of benthic ecosystem heavy metal pollution in a fjord ecosystem still experiencing short- and long-term physical and chemical impacts from coastal mining sea disposal activities.

Abstract
Both physicochemical and biological factors affect the degree of metal accumulation in crayfish tissues. The content of metals and correlations between the metal concentrations in different tissues and the total length of crayfish is suitable indicators of contamination of the aquatic environment. The aim of the study was to analyse the effect of age and sex of crayfish on the degree of accumulation of Ca, Cu, and Zn in the muscle and exoskeleton. A total of 100 individuals of the spiny-cheek crayfish (Faxonius limosus, Rafinesque, 1817) were caught from Głowińsk reservoir (Poland) in October 2019 using fyke nets. Metal concentrations were determined in freeze-dried samples of the abdominal muscle, exoskeleton, bottom sediment, and water using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). Here, we show that the highest concentrations of Zn were found in the muscle of 4-year-old females, Cu in 3-year-old males, and Ca in 4-year-old males. Sex was a significant factor affecting the content of Ca in the muscle and Zn in the exoskeleton. Age was a significant factor affecting the content of Zn, Cu, and Ca in the muscle and Zn and Cu in the exoskeleton. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Zn and Cu in the muscle and exoskeleton of spiny-cheek crayfish was much higher from water than from sediments, unlike Ca. Furthermore, we found significant correlation for muscle between Zn and total length in 3-year-old females and 4-year-old males and between Cu and TL in 3-year-old males. Analysing the recommended daily intake (RDI) for the investigated minerals confirmed that the consumption of 100 g of spiny-cheek crayfish muscle could meet daily requirement for Zn up to 27.5%, for Ca in 12.4%, and over 100% for Cu. The conducted analyses confirmed that the consumption of crayfish meat was safe for the health of potential consumers in terms of the analysed metal content.

Abstract
Three toxic heavy metals (Cd, Pb, and Hg) were analyzed in the newly found invasive species in the Canary Islands, Cronius ruber. Its high growth rate and its widely varied diet are affecting the Canary marine ecosystem. The study was conducted using electrothermal vaporization atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) and cold-vapor atomic absorption spectrophotometry (CV-AAS). Significant differences were found in terms of the location and sex of the specimens, with the highest concentrations being found in areas with higher tourism activity and in the female specimens. On the other hand, the conclusion of the study is that human consumption of this species does not pose any toxic risk to public health, as the levels obtained in muscle tissue do not exceed the established limits for these metals. Therefore, its consumption and the fishing of this species can stop the proliferation of the same in the Canary coasts and thus not be harmful for the ecosystem.

Abstract
This study evaluated the food safety of the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) found in Shandong Province, China and obtained information on possible edible parts and gender differences. White and brown muscle samples from 108 swimming crabs were collected from seven cities along the eastern coastline of Shandong Province and analyzed for levels of Cu, Zn, Ni, As, Fe, Mn, Cr, Se, Cd, and Pb. There were significant differences in the metal concentrations among different edible muscles. High concentrations of Zn, Mn, and Cr were found in leg and claw meat while Fe, Cu, Ni, As, Cd, Pb, and Se were predominantly found in the hepatopancreas and gonads. Gender differences were found only for Fe and Zn. Based on the estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), total target hazard quotient (TTHQ), and the permissible safety limits prescribed by various agencies, consumption of the swimming crab is considered safe.

Abstract
Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) is an invasive species displacing native European crayfish from their natural habitats. The elemental composition of the population from the southern Baltic coastal river and the potential health hazards are not known. The aim of the conducted research was to assess the quantitative content of Al, As, Ca, Cd, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Na, Ni, Pb, Se, and Zn in meat, hepatopancreas, and exoskeleton in a population from Wieprza River (Poland) and compare the results with the recommendations of daily human consumption. Analysis also involved the composition of water and sediments. The concentrations of elements were analyzed using an Atomic Absorption Spectrometer. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of elements in the signal crayfish was much higher from water than from sediments. Bioaccumulation of elements differed between the particular parts of the body of crayfish, e.g., Ca showed extreme predominance in the exoskeleton, while in meat exhibited a predominance of K, Na, Ca, and Mg. Among trace elements, crayfish meat was the richest in Zn, Cu, and Fe. The concentrations of non-essential Cd, Pb, and As were low compared to other determined elements. The highest concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Se were found in the hepatopancreas, while the highest levels of Al and Pb were found in the exoskeleton. Generally, it was found that the meat of P. leniusculus can be a perfect supplement to the human diet, and the consumption of 100 g of meat per day did not exceed the dietary reference values for essential elements and also for Al, As, Cd, Ni, and Pb.

Abstract
The brown crab (Cancer pagurus; the edible crab) is consumed worldwide and greatly appreciated for the essential elements (e.g., Zn, Se) that it contains. However, alongside these, it contains toxic elements that can pose serious risks for human health. For the brown meat parts of the brown crab, which contain considerable Cd concentrations, official legal limits of exposure are still lacking by regulatory bodies, rendering its consumption a potential food safety threat. In this study, a survey was conducted during 2016-2018 in a major Mid-Norway commercial crab fishing area of Mausund in Frøya municipality, Norway, where brown crab media samples were collected to assess the occurrence and profile of select elements, including toxic elements (Cd, Pb, Hg, Sr, As). A yearly median concentration ranging from 6.75 (2016) to 14.0 (2017) mg Cd/kg dry weight (est.: 2.11 (2016) to 4.37 (2017) mg Cd/kg wet weight) indicated high Cd concentrations, which were alarming when compared to the maximum allowed concentration of 0.5 mg/kg wet weight set by the E.U. for raw white crab meat. Human exposures were assessed by estimating intakes of elements per 100 g serving portion of dry edible media (white/brown meat), and the tolerable upper intake levels (ULs) (as specified by the United States National Academy of Sciences) were exceeded for Fe, Cu, Ni, Se, Ca, Mg and P. The median Se and Cd estimated human dietary intakes (EDIs) (from brown crab) were 8.21-8.59 and 9.64-20.0 μg/kg body weight, respectively. The human intake dose (ID) of Cd (from brown crab) reached the order of a few tens of milligrams (mg). In addition, 33% of brown crab samples were found to be suitable for human consumption when the Se:Cd concentration ratio was applied and a stoichiometric excess of Se over Cd was indicated.

Abstract
In this study, we determined the levels of essential and non-essential elements in the Harris mud crab (Rhithropanopeus harrisii, Maitland, 1874) from the southern Baltic Sea. Results revealed high levels of Ca (246,000 ppm), Mg (11,000 ppm), Na (8160 ppm), K (3,780 ppm), and Fe (1830 ppm). The concentrations of essential metals such as Zn (62.5 ppm) and Cu (25 ppm) were similar to those recorded in other crab species. The concentrations of non-essential metals such as Pb (0.140 ppm), Cd (0.0017 ppm), and As (0.288 ppm) were well below the International Standards for Maximum Levels for Food. In view of the above, the Harris mud crab from the southern Baltic is safe to be used as a component of well-balanced feeds for terrestrial and aquatic animals.

Abstract
The concentrations of nine heavy metals accumulated in different organs of two crab species collected from the South East coast of India were estimated. The order of trace metal concentration in different organs of Portunus pelagicus was Cu > Mn > Cd > Ni > Pb > Co > Hg = Cr = U in gills, Cu > Mn > Cd > Ni > Pb = Co > Hg > Cr = U in hepatopancreas, and Cu > Cr > Ni > Mn > Cd > Pb > Co > Hg > U in muscles, whereas that for Portunus sanguinolentus was Cu > Mn > Cd > Ni > Pb > Co > Hg > Cr = U in gills, Cu > Mn > Cd > Ni > Pb = Co > U > Cr = Hg in hepatopancreas, and Cr > Cu > Ni > Mn > Cd > Co > Pb > Hg = U in muscles. The order of trace metal uptake for different organs was gills > hepatopancreas > muscles. Individual mean bioaccumulation index (IMBI) values varied between 0.0 and 0.52, 0.0 and 0.28, and 0.06 and 0.30 for gills, hepatopancreas, and muscles, respectively. Cr in muscles of P. sanguinolentus and Cu and Cd in all organs of both the species were found to be higher than the maximum permitted concentration recommended by food safety guidelines. Target hazard quotient (THQ) results suggested that there is a potential risk due to Co, Cd, and Cr, particularly for children, if the crab consumption frequency is more than once a month.

Abstract
The consumption of crustaceans is correlated with certain health risks, particularly due to several highly toxic elements they contain, including cadmium (Cd). Although Cd content in one sole crab generally exceeds the total weekly recommended intake of cadmium as established by EFSA (especially in brown meat), efficient modern strategies to reduce Cd content in crabs still have not yet been developed. The objective of this research was therefore to evaluate the potential use of ultrasound technology in combination with temperature (50°-80 °C) with the purpose of releasing Cd from brown crab (Cancer pagurus), thereby reducing the Cd content in its meat. Female crabs were immersed in a water bath at 50, 65, and 80 °C in presence or absence of ultrasound; Cd concentration in the water was monitored along time. At the end of the process, Cd content in brown and white crab meat was likewise quantified. Treatment temperature did not bear an influence on the release of Cd in absence of ultrasound, but proved to be an important variable when ultrasound assisted the process. Ultrasound increased Cd release rates 8.7-, 2.1- and 2.7-fold in conjunction with the treatments at 50, 65 and 80 °C, respectively. The maximum percentage of Cd extracted (22.8%) was observed at 50 °C for an ultrasound input power of 200 W. These results have demonstrated for the first time that the application of ultrasound during the crab-cooking process could serve as an effective physical procedure for reducing the Cd content of crabs, thereby improving the product's safety for consumers.

Abstract
This study assesses the potential of incorporating ultrasound as a processing aid in the production of whole cooked brown crab (Cancer pagurus). The FDA recommended heat treatment to reduce Listeria monocytogenes by 6 log10 cycles in this product is a F707.5 of 2min. An equivalent F value was applied at 75°C in presence and absence of ultrasound in water alone or in water with 5% w/v NaCl added. Heat penetration, turbidity and conductivity of the cook water and also salt and moisture content of the crab meat (white and brown) were determined. Ultrasound assisted cooking allowed a reduction of the cooking time by up to 15% while still maintaining an F707.5 of 2min. Ultrasound also enhanced the rate and total amount of compounds released from the crab, which suggests that crabs cooked in the presence of ultrasound would be expected to be cleaner. Ultrasound also proved to be effective in reducing the salt content but hardly affected the final moisture content of the crab meat.

Abstract
Industrial areas on estuarine systems are commonly affected by heavy metals, affecting all local biota. Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was used to evaluate genetic diversity of Ucides cordatus at mangroves in southeastern Brazil (Juréia, J; São Vicente, SV; and Cubatão, C), with distinct pollution levels by metals. The genetic diversity of this species was compared with concentrations of metals (Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr and Hg) in the environment. A pollution gradient was confirmed (SV>C>J), with low levels detected in water, except for mercury in SV. All metals in the sediment samples were below Threshold Effect Level (TEL), without an apparent biological risk to the biota. Genetic distance was very similar between J and C, with SV occurring as an out-group. RAPD was a powerful tool to investigate the effect of metal pollution on genetic diversity of this mangrove crab, and to evaluate the conservation status of the mangrove ecosystem.
