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
Cherax quadricarinatus has been widely translocated within Australia, and a number of self-sustaining feral populations have established, and persisted, in central-eastern Australia for over 20 years: however, the biology and ecology of feral populations remain poorly understood. Using the loss-by-ignition method, this study investigated differences in the total content of incombustible material (as a proxy for total mineral content), between feral C. quadricarinatus populations in southeast Queensland and northeastern New South Wales. A total of 102 C. quadricarinatus were ignited, and percent total incombustible material was not proportional to the body size, or gender of the crayfish. Incombustible content was however, significantly different between some locations of capture (i.e., waterbodies). The site where incombustible content in crayfish was atypical, Lake Ainsworth, is a naturally acidic coastal lake, and we suggest that acidity and low concentration of calcium in that waterbody are likely responsible for the difference in mineral content detected in that population. Mechanism(s) driving the difference detected in the Lake Ainsworth population are unknown, but we suggest the acidic environment could directly impact maintenance of internal calcium reserves in the crayfish (intermoult), during recalcification of the cuticle (postmoult), or both. Limited calcium availability in the lake may also be a direct, or indirect, contributing factor. The ability of C. quadricarinatus to occupy acidic habitats while managing biomineralization challenges possibly could enable additional range-expansion of the species, and potential impacts on both endangered ecological communities and other biota occupying the acidic coastal habitats of Eastern Australia.

Abstract
We measured the level of heavy metal accumulation in lake sediments, herbivorous (Oreochromis niloticus) and carnivorous (Serranochromis thumbergi) fish, and crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) from Lake Itezhi-tezhi (ITT) and Lake Kariba. We used atomic absorption spectrophotometry to quantify the levels of seven heavy metals (Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Ni). The sediment and the herbivorous fish O. niloticus accumulated a very high concentration of Cu in Lake ITT, most likely due to the discharge of Cu waste from a mining area 450 km upstream. The aquatic species we sampled in Lake Kariba had higher concentrations of Cr, Ni, and Pb relative to those in Lake ITT. This is most likely due to anthropogenic activities, such as the use of leaded petrol and antifouling agents in marine paints. Interestingly, we observed a negative correlation between the coefficient of condition (K) and Ni concentration in the crayfish hepatopancreas. Both O. niloticus and the crayfish had much higher biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) for Cu, Zn, and Cd relative to Cr, Co, Pb, and Ni. The rank of BSAF values for O. niloticus (Cu>Cd>Zn) and C. quadricarinatus (Zn>Cd>Cu) differed from the expected ranks based on the general order of affinity of metals (Cd>>Zn>Cu).

Abstract
Tissue copper concentration in whole Cambarus bartoni, exposed for four weeks to 0.125, 0.25 and 0.5 mg Cu/litre and 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 mg Ni/litre in the laboratory at 18 degrees C, showed a linear relationship with exposure time at 0.25 and 0.5 mg Cu/litre; the regression slope at 0.5 mg Cu/litre (r2 = 0.218; 0.001 less than P less than or equal to 0.05) was approximately two times higher than that at 0.25 mg Cu/litre (r2 = 0.148; 0.025 less than P less than or equal to 0.05). Regression analysis of nickel concentrations in whole crayfish as a function of exposure time showed a third degree polynomial relationship at 0.4 (y = 49.989 + 14.77x - 15.395x2 + 3.194x3) and 0.8 (y = 52.053 + 37.05x - 28.933x2 + 5.133x3) mg Ni/litre, as well as in the control (y = 49.126 + 27.253x - 23.468x2 + 4.168x3) (y = Ni concentration; x = exposure time in weeks), suggesting the occurrence of a Ni flux every 4 weeks.

Abstract
The quantitative changes in copper free and bound to proteins in haemolymph and different forms of copper in muscle and hepatopancreas under imposed starvation were studied in the estuarine mud crab Scylla serrata. During the course of starvation, both haemolymph copper free and bound to proteins significantly declined and the regression analyses of these data further revealed that the haemolymph copper-free proteins were more affected than copper-bound proteins. The multiple stress condition namely injury and exsanguination along with starvation resulted in an earlier release and/or degradation of both these proteins. Hepatopancreas periodically accumulates and releases copper during starvation. The copper levels in haemolymph and hepatopancreas during different days of starvation showed a close inverse relationship between these two tissues. These changes in hepatopancreas were predominantly reflected in the copper that exists in association with low molecular weight substances. It is found that the copper thus accumulated was partly released back into haemolymph and a fraction may be excreted. This study also indicates the major role played by the low molecular weight substances in accommodation, detoxification and mobilization of copper in the decapod hepatopancreas during imposed starvation.

Abstract
Cd-binding patterns in the hepatopancreas of the crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes) have been analysed in response to the administration of a single dose of Cd ions. Four main components, with apparent molecular weights of 3-4, 12, 20 and greater than 70 K daltons, have been isolated from soluble cell fractions. The variation in molar metal/protein ratios of these components is discussed in terms of the uptake, transfer and detoxification of Cd in the hepatopancreas. A model is proposed which describes Cd flux at the subcellular level and indicates that metallothionein-like proteins may mediate in this process.

Abstract
The main proteins of the haemolymph of Crustacea Decapoda have been identified and analysed: haemocyanin, plasma coagulogen, heteroagglutinins, vitellogenins, and molt-related proteins. All these complex components exhibit a high molecular weight and as oligomeric fractions are able to aggregate or dissociate in subunits according to the composition of medium and experimental procedures. Besides their important rôle in the defense mechanism, some proteins are involved in the edification of diverse tissues. They are detected within different compartments: soft integument, calcified carapace and hepatopancreas. They are either in transit or sequestered or synthetized within these tissues. In the crayfish Astacus leptodactylus, some components have been identified in different compartments: --in aqueous extracts from soft integument: the haemocyanin, coagulogen and both fraction F1 (lipoprotein with an approximate molecular weight of 45 kdal) and fraction F2 related to the molt. Both coagulogen and fraction F2 appear sometimes as melanized. These two latter fractions exhibit some glucose-mannose residues and they occur with a higher relative amount than in the blood. --in soluble extracts from calcified cuticle: among the numerous fractions showing a high molecular weight, the haemocyanin and coagulogen are detected. --in aqueous extracts from hepatopancreas: both haemocyanin and coagulogen appear with a little relative amount. Components termed as Fa and Fb are found with a high concentration. One minor fraction is also detected. --in aqueous extracts from eggs: the haemocyanin and fraction Fb are present. Other proteins showing only some antigenic identities with those of the haemolymph are also detected in all these tissues. The haemolymph proteins are not present within these compartments following a passive diffusion. Indeed, their relative amount varies according to the tissue investigated and is different from that found in the blood. Except the haemocyanin detected in all tissues with different aggregation states, the haemolymph proteins identified vary in the organs studied. A qualitative and quantitative selection occurs when the blood proteins enter the other compartments. Perhaps some other proteins are not detected following alterations underwent either in the epithelial barriers or during the tannage process or the chitino-proteic complex formation or due to experimental procedures. On the other hand, each tissue has its own proteins. The integument contains crustacyanins alpha, beta, gamma; the eggs are mainly constituted of lipovitellins and the hepatopancreas is rich in small molecular weight proteins and digestive enzymes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
A theoretical compartment model for the uptake of Cd and Zn by the freshwater crayfish, Procambarus acutus acutus (Girard), was constructed, and included a factorially designed experiment to study the relative importance of food and water as uptake vectors for 109Cd and 65 Zn. Food and water were important pathways for Cd accumulation and the two uptake vectors were first order, independent, and additive. The rate of Cd elimination was not significantly different from zero during either the uptake or depuration phases. Rate constants for uptake from 5 and 10 micrograms Cd . L-1, calculated on a concentration basis, were 0.84 +/- 0.031 and 0.83 +/- 0.029 day-1, respectively. Although there was not measurable Cd elimination, crayfish reached a steady state concentration of about 12.5 micrograms Cd . g-1, dry weight. A small amount of Zn was accumulated via food, relative to that accumulated from water; the former had a much longer retention time than the latter, which was lost rapidly. When Zn in food was the only source, steady state was reached rapidly; Zn accumulation from food and water was not additive. Zn accumulated from water, reached no steady state. Zn uptake was proportional to water concentrations within the fed treatment groups and those not fed Zn-contaminated food. Zn elimination was first order to Zn concentration in the crayfish. Rate constants for Zn accumulation from 50 and 100 micrograms Zn . L-1 when fed Zn-contaminated food were 1.34 +/- 0.064 and 1.46 +/- 0.073 day-1 (estimate +/- 95% CI based on concentration), respectively, while rate constants for Zn elimination were 0.034 +/- 0.0021 and 0.05 +/- 0.0032, respectively.
