“…Many authors have shown that animal tissues could accumulate heavy metals in dose and time dependent manner. Fishes have the capacity to accumulate heavy metal in their tissues by gill surface and the wall of gut tract to greater levels than the environmental toxin concentration [23]. In agreement to our results, Malekpouri et al [24] noted that the accumulation of Cd in muscles of common carp (Cyprious carpio) has been elevated under increased concentration and duration of Cd exposure, as well as the maximum accumulation was in the third treatment (i.e., 100 ppb for dissolved cadmium) after 90 days of exposure.…”

Acute toxicity of cadmium (Cd) to zebrafish (Danio rerio) was studied. The 24, 48, 72 and 96 h LC50 values (with 95% confidence limits) estimated by probit analysis were 16.73 (20.03-13.98), 12.88 (14.96-11.08), 11.46 (13.21-9.94), 9.68 (11.12-8.43) mg L -1 , respectively. To determine the accumulation and cyto-toxicity of Cd on the brain and skeletal muscle of zebrafish, specimens of zebrafish were exposed to three concentrations of cadmium (0.65 mg Cd L -1 , C1; 0.97 mg Cd L -1 , C2; and 1.94 mg Cd L -1 , C3 (corresponding to 1/15th, 1/10th and 1/5th of 96 h LC50), respectively for 25 days. The concentration of Cd in the fish tissue was detected by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS). Tissue alterations of brain and skeletal muscle were observed under light microscope. Cadmium concentrations of the treated fishes showed a significantly exponential increase over time and peaked at Day 25. In term of histomorphology of brain and skeletal muscle, obvious tissue chaos was noticed in the treated fishes compared to the control group. This mess clearly appeared at Day 25 at C3 in the brain where the tissue showed different extents of granule cell loss, degeneration of Purkinje cells, aggregation area of gliosis and many areas of necrosis. Ultra-structural damage of moderate or low levels was observed in the fishes at C1 and C3 after 5 days and C1 after 25 days of treatment. In the skeletal muscle at 25 days of C3 treatment, different degrees of swelling and high necrosis were observed. This indicates that a defense mechanism was started with the accumulation of metal Cd in the tissues over time. Thus, the information provided in this study may be very useful for the deep understanding of the mechanisms of Cd stress in fish.

“…As a result, several scientific teams were clustered into the Piren-Seine multidisciplinary programme in 1989, funded by a dozen of public and private institutions of the Seine Basin and backed by the AESN. The Piren-Seine scientists developed a second stage of metal surveys in the catchment on sediments and biota Chevreuil et al, 1995 and1996;Garban et al, 1996) flood deposits (Idlafkih et al, 1995;Idlafkih, 1998;Horowitz et al, 1999), urban runoff (Estèbe et al, 1998), atmospheric fallout (Azimi et al, 2003) and, since 2004, on floodplain cores (Bonté et al, in preparation). In parallel, numerous studies on the metal distribution in the Seine estuary were realized within the SeineAval programme (Cossa and Ficht 1999;Chiffoleau et al 1999, Cossa et al 2002.…”

“…Metal budget determination and studies of multiple interactions between metals and Humans are fully detailed for the current period in a companion paper (Thévenot et al, this volume). Within the PIREN-Seine, previous works on metal contamination include combined sewer overflows to the river (Estèbe et al, 1998), urban fallout (Garnaud et al, 1998, Azimi et al, 2003, contamination of aquatic biota , Chevreuil et al, 1995, spatial structure of contamination (Meybeck, 1998), flood deposits contamination (Horowitz et al, 1999, Meybeck et al, 2004 and contamination trends of river particulates over the last 10 years (Grosbois et al, 2006). Other previous studies on heavy metals in the Seine River system concern the distribution of metals between dissolved and particulates phases (Idlafkih et al, 1995), the Hg contamination in the estuary (Chiffoleau et al, 1999;Cossa and Ficht, 1999;Cossa et al 2002) and Pb isotopes tracing (Roy et al, 1999).…”

“…These factors include metal contents in water and food organisms, exposure time, environment conditions (e.g., pH, alkalinity, salinity), feeding habit, age, and size of fish (Protasowicki 1991, Mason et al 2000, Řehulka 2001, Jezierska et al 2002, Witeska and Baka 2002, Dobicki and Polechoński 2003, Łuczyńska and BruckaJastrzębska 2005, and the differences in metallothionein (MT) gene induction by various species of fish (Olsson andKille 1997, De Boeck et al 2003). Chevreuil et al (1995) and Andres et al (2000)-to name just a few-indicated that the omnivorous roach, which is common and often abundant in central European inland waters, is a useful species in monitoring studies. Roach can accumulate certain trace elements in considerable amounts, greater than other species inhabiting the same water bodies.…”

“…Water organisms can be precise indicators in estimating the status of pollution of water environments. Among them several species of fish have been widely used (Håkanson 1984, Chevreuil et al 1995, Andres et al 2000, Falandysz et al 2000, Perkowska and Protasowicki 2000, Řehulka 2001, Wagner and Boman 2003, Polechoński 2004, Szarek-Gwiazda and Amirowicz 2006. Accumulation of trace elements in the tissues of fish living in aquatic environment depends on many factors (Jezierska and Witeska 2001).…”

Krywult M., Klich M., Szarek-Gwiazda E. 2008. Metal concentrations in chub, Leuciscus cephalus, from a submontane river. Acta Ichthyol. Piscat. 38 (1): 47-53.Background. Fish are often used as indicators of pollution levels in water environments. The omnivorous chub inhabiting rivers of Europe, including their more polluted parts, is a potentially suitable indicator. The information published, however, on the metal accumulation in the tissues of chub living in varyingly polluted waters (both polluted and unpolluted environments) is scarce. The presently reported study was conducted to examine the metal concentrations in selected tissues of chub living in a natural submontane river. Materials and Methods. Sediment samples (0-5 cm layer) and chub, Leuciscus cephalus (L.), were collected from the upper (stations 1-4) and lower (stations 5-8) sections of the Biała Tarnowska River in summer 2003. Fish age was determined from the otoliths. The AAS method was used to determine metal concentrations (Cd, Pb, Cu, and Zn) in sediment and chub tissues (spleen, liver, and muscle).Results. According to the values of the geochemical index (I geo ), the river sediments were not polluted by Pb, Cu, and Zn, while in various degrees polluted by Cd. Despite the low metal concentrations, the mean Cd and Cu concentrations were higher (c. 2× and 4×, respectively) in the upper part of the river compared to the lower section, while concentration of Pb and Zn were similar in the two areas. Chub accumulated the greatest amount of Cu in the liver, while the bulk of Cd, Pb, and Zn was found in the spleen. In the upper part of the river, elevated concentrations of trace elements in selected tissues of chub were found: Cu (spleen, muscle), Cd (spleen), Zn (muscle). The pollution status of the river, on the basis of trace element contents in the sediment, was also determined. Conclusions.The obtained results indicated tissue-specific metal accumulation in chub. Selected chub tissues are sensitive to Cd and Cu contents in the river sediment.
