The aim of the research was to observe the process of copper and lead accumulation in tissues of adult females of the common carp, during a long-time (3 years) dietary exposure to these metals in pond conditions. The fish were divided into 3 groups, which were fed with control pellets (control group) and pellets contaminated with lead (group Pb, 68.4 mg Pb kg À1 dry weight) or copper (group Cu, 153.1 mg Cu kg À1 ) for three exposure periods: the first, the second and the third vegetation seasons.Quite a different profile of tissue metal accumulation was observed for copper and for lead in female carps. Copper accumulates mainly in the liver (205.4 AE 35.2 mg kg À1 ), reaching values 70 times higher than in control, and 300 times higher than in some other tissues, while lead accumulated mainly in the kidney (1.7 AE 0.25 mg kg À1 ) and intestine (2.2 AE 0.2 mg kg À1 ). Even when exposed to Cu or Pb for three consecutive seasons, the carps studied did not accumulate these metals in the muscles at the level dangerous for human health in case of ingestion.

The purpose of the present paper was to investigate the process of copper elimination and iron concentration variations in the body of Prussian carp after shortterm exposure (2.5 or 5 hours) to a sublethal concentration of this metal in water, and to identify the hematological changes occurring in peripheral blood during exposure and depuration. Prussian carps (Carassius gibelio Bloch, 1782) were exposed to 2 mg Cu L-1 for 2.5 or 5 hours. During the 336 hours of depuration period, a concentration of red blood cells RBC, white blood cells WBC and hematocrit, as well as Cu and Fe concentration in gills, liver, muscle and kidney were determined. Significant decrease in WBC and RBC after the exposure cessation was observed and the increase in hematocrit value. Cu concentration in studied tissues of Prussian carp was the highest after the exposure cessation, and then was decreasing during the recovery period, reaching control values, except the kidney where the Cu level remained significantly increased till the end of the observation. Even a relatively short exposure to Cu is reflected in a change in normal morphological parameters and microelement metabolism in the tissue, and its effects can be observed for as long as 2 weeks following the end of exposure. Potentially, this means that any shortening of acute exposure may contribute to quicker restoration of homeostasis during depuration with regard to the blood parameters and microelement levels studied.

This study evaluates the effects of water quality, i.e. organic matter content, alkalinity, and pH, on acute copper toxicity to mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki Girard, 1859), an invasive species widespread in natural and artificial wetlands. The aim of this study was to improve our understanding of the consequences of CuSO4 treatments on biodiversity conservation in irrigation ponds. Tests were carried out using three water types: irrigation‐pond water (IPW) of relatively high organic matter levels and slightly alkaline pH; IPW treated with sodium hypoclorite (IPW + SH) to remove organic matter and raise pH; dechlorinated tap water (DTW) with a relatively low alkalinity and organic matter, and a circumneutral pH. Fish were exposed for 96‐h under static conditions to 0.25, 0.75, 1.5, and 4 mgCu/L. Mortality was monitored every 24 h and LC50 values were determined. After the 96 h period, the Cu concentration in gills was also determined. The LC50‐96 h values were 1.90 (IPW), 1.51 (IPW + SH), and 0.78 (DTW) mg Cu/L, which can be considered relatively high. The concentration of copper in gills increased with the nominal Cu concentration in the three water treatments, and was significantly higher in DTW compared with IPW and IPW + SH. These results indicate that the relatively high alkalinity and, particularly, organic matter levels in pond water substantially buffer copper bioavailability to mosquitofish. However, chronic exposure to continuous Cu treatments and its accumulation in pond sediments are likely to produce stress symptoms at the individual and population levels of vertebrate and invertebrate species, which, besides agronomical and human health reasons, advise against using CuSO4 as a management tool for irrigation ponds.
