“…The majority of studies linking organ level with effects reported that lead would accumulate in organs which contain high amounts of calcium (e.g. scale) and spleen (Yoshitomi et al, 1998). Since bile is continually renewed with its content, analyzing its trace metal constituent gives evidence for immediate contamination.…”

“…The spleen acts as an organ of detoxification of metal contaminants since it produces metallothionein. The scale is outermost organ of the fish and continuously comes in contact with water and the pollutants therein, which makes it a very good bioindicator of the state of pollution (Rishi and Jaik, 1998;Yoshitomi et al, 1998).…”

Samples of fish organs, sediment and water were collected from five sampling sites of Lakes Awassa and Ziway. A procedure consuming 13 mL mixture of HNO 3 -HClO 4 -H 2 O 2 for intestine and sediment or 5.0 mL mixture of HNO 3 -H 2 O 2 for scale, spleen and bile for digestion of freeze-dried fish organs (except bile) and sediment was developed. Concentrations of eight metals were determined using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Concentrations of metals in bile, intestine, scale, spleen and sediment varied (mg/kg): Cd 0.83-13.41, 2.67-5.01, 4.46-13.24, 2.58-6.66, 3.19-10.51, respectively; Cr 0.79-4.27, 1.13-5.09, 2.13-5.74, 0.47-1.36, 4.14-8.66, respectively; Co 0.51-1. 19, respectively; respectively; respectively; respectively; respectively; respectively. Most of the elements in water samples occurred below detection limit. The pattern for concentrations of trace metals followed: sediment > scale > intestine > bile > spleen > water. Using a ternary plot, positive correlation was observed for the specific fish organ with the sediment and water samples. There was no significant difference between the two lakes in accumulating trace metals however Lake Awassa had higher concentration.

“…ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) can also reduce metal toxicity (Muramoto, 1980;James et al, 1998). Effects of metal toxicity are varied, ranging from gross pathologies like scale deformation (Yoshitomi et al, 1998) and liver degeneration (Woodward et al, 1994), to the disruption of metabolic processes (Barnhoorn et al, 1999) and behaviour (e.g. spawning) (Benoit, 1975).…”

This is the first paper reporting on results obtained in a metal bioaccumulation study in the Vaal River system. It discusses concentrations of four non-essential elements (strontium, aluminium, lead and nickel) in water, sediment and various fish tissues. A second paper will report on concentration levels of the remaining five essential trace metals (chrome, copper, iron, manganese and zinc) studied. While heavy metals did accumulate in C. gariepinus tissues, no clear trends emerged with regard to differences between localities (Vaal Dam and Vaal River Barrage) or surveys. The highest non-essential element metal concentrations were generally recorded in gill (filaments and arches), followed by muscle, liver and lastly skin. This general trend appears to be in agreement with trends observed by other workers and reported in the literature. Variability in tissue metal concentrations in C. gariepinus within locality and seasons observed in this study is also reflected in results from available literature. This accentuates the importance of factors that influence the concentrations and bioavailability of trace metals.

“…There was no previous report found to demonstrate the effect of fish pathogens imparted upon the scale. Though few reports have been published in this topic, however, these are related to effect of heavy metal toxicity on fish scale (Rishi & Jain, 1998;Yoshitomi, Koyama, Iida, & Ikeda, 1998;Kaur & Dua, 2012).

Channa punctata (freshwater murrel) is an economically important fish species in Asian countries, including India. The present investigation demonstrates the pathogenic effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa DJ1990 on the scales of fresh water C. punctata through optical and scanning electron microscopy. In order to determine the adverse effects of P. aeruginosa DJ1990, fish were exposed to different doses of bacterial load and sacrificed at 12 h interval up to 72 h of post-infection period. The light microscopic and electron microscopic examination of C. punctata scale clearly disclosed the bacterial invasion and concomitant destruction of the scale structure such as uprooted damaged lepidonts and dispersal of chromatophores. In the present study, it was observed that the advent of anomaly in scale structure (chromatophore dispersion, circuli damage, circuli disorganization, lepidontal breakage, lepidontal uprooting, lepidontal sockets exposing, lepidont displacement and scale loosing) was dependent on the pathogen loads and time of expose. Till date, several studies have been conducted in the field of fish pathology; however, scales are given less priority in comparison to hematopoietic organs. To the author's best knowledge, it is the first report describing the effect of bacterial pathogen on the scale of a fish species, C. punctata.
