“…The lead and cadmium concentrations detected in the tissues of tench resembled those reported for chub and perch that had been caught some months earlier from the same river (Sures et al 1994a, b;Sures and Taraschewski 1995). The data published by INFU (1984) for several ®sh species from the River Ruhr are also consistent with these results.…”

The adult cestodes Monobothrium wageneri and Bothriocephalus scorpii from the intestines of their respective final hosts, tench (Tinca tinca) caught in the river Ruhr, Germany, and turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) collected from two sampling sites on the coast of Gdansk, Poland, were analyzed for lead and cadmium by atomic absorption spectrometry. Both cestode species contained significantly higher cadmium contents than did the muscle, liver, and intestine of their fish hosts. Whereas M. wageneri also contained several times more lead than did the organs of tench, B. scorpii showed nearly the same lead burden as did the liver and intestine of turbot. Posterior sections of B. scorpii comprising gravid proglottids contained significantly higher concentrations of lead and cadmium than did the anterior proglottids.

“…Lead and cadmium levels in Pomphorhynchus laevis Müller, 1776 were 2700 and 400 times higher than in the muscle of the host (Sures et al, 1994a;Sures & Taracshewski, 1995). Similar results were also reported for other fish species infected with acanthocephalans and nematodes (Sures et al, 1994b;Sures et al, 1997;Genç et al, 2008). Some researchers have investigated some heavy metal levels in Confluaria capillarioides, Mesocestoides perlatus and Ligula intestinalis and their final hosts (Podiceps cristatus, Accipiter gentilis and Phalacrocorax carbo) (Kráčmar et al, 2000;Tenora et al, 2000b;Baruš et al, 2000) and found that Pb and Cd levels in cestodes were higher than in hosts liver and muscle tissues.…”

76 SummaryThe accumulation of heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Zn and Mn) was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry in some organs of tench (Tinca tinca L., 1758) and tissues of its parasite collected from Beyşehir Lake, and compared with the data from sediments and water. The Cu levels in L. intestinalis L., 1758 plerocercoids were 1.69 times, respectively, higher than those in fish gill. Zn level in L. intestinalis plerocercoids was 2.13 times higher than those in fish liver, was 5.53 times higher than that of the muscle and 3.33 times higher than that in the gill. Significant negative (for Mn) correlation was found between the quantity of heavy metals in water and tissues of L. intestinalis plerocercoids while there was significant negative (for Cu) correlation between the quantity the heavy metals in bottom sediment and tissues of L. intestinalis plerocercoids. This study supports the idea that cestodes aren't very useful to determine the heavy metal pollution in aquatic system when they are located in their intermediate host's body cavity.

“…Moller 1987, Khan & Thulin 1991, Koskivaara & Valtonen 1992, Sures et al 1994a dealing with the interrelation between pollution and fish parasites, but there are just a few comparative, quantitative investigations about the heavy metal content of fish parasites and their hosts. Sures et al (1994a, b) reported very high lead concentrations in 2 species of palaeacanthocephalans. Also, Riggs et al (1987) found elevated selenium concentrations in the cestode Bothriocephalus acheilognathi compared to 2 of its final hosts.…”

Adults of the acanthocephalan Paratenuisentis ambjguus and the nematode Anguillicola crassus were collected from eels from the river Weser, Germany, and examined for lead levels. In addition to these parasites, different fish tissues (liver, bile and intestine) were also analysed for lead, using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. P ambiguus was found to contain the highest amounts of lead. The mean lead level in A. crassus was much lower, resembling the values obtained from eel tissues. The accumulation capacity of P. ambiguus was about 100 times higher than that of A. crassus.Thus, P. ambiguus can be considered a rather sensitive indicator of lead in aquatic ecosystems.
