Achanthobrama marmid (thorn-bream) (n:24), Chondrostoma regium (nose-carp) (n:33) and Silurus glanis (wels) (n:21), and Cyprinus carpio (carp) (n:30) were collected from Sir Dam Lake in Kahramanmaraş Province. The iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) levels were determined in the total of 108 fish samples by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The concentrations of heavy metals were expressed as mg kg(-1) wet weight of tissue. The mean Fe and Mn levels of muscle and gill of C. carpio were 0.8-5.71 and 0.30-1.96, respectively. The mean of the Fe and Mn levels of muscle and gill of A. marmid were 1.22, 5.07 and 0.38, 0.85 mg kg(-1), respectively. The ranges of mean concentrations of Fe and Mn levels in muscle and gill of C. regium were 0.91, 5.61 and 0.27, 3.42 mg kg(-1), respectively. The mean value of Fe in S. glanis gill was 1.03, which of Mn was 0.17 mg kg(-1). Fe, Mn, Co, Ni, and Pb were not detected in the muscle of S. glanis. The mean values for Co in muscle of thorn-bream, carp, and nose-carp were 0.005, 0.01, 0.0 mg kg(-1), respectively. Nickel values in the muscle were ranged between 0.38 and 1.93 in thorn-bream, 0.06 and 1.34 in carp, 0.14 and 1.89 in nose-carp, in that order. The mean Pb levels of muscle and gill of A. marmid were 0.14 and 0.29 mg kg(-1), respectively. The mean values of Pb concentration of muscle and gill for C. carpio were 0.13 and 0.50 mg kg(-1), respectively. In C. regium mean values for Pb in muscle and gill were 0.06 and 0.06 mg kg(-1), respectively. The mean value of Pb in S. glanis gill was 0.42, ranged between 0.0-0.92 mg kg(-1).

“…Thus, the concentrations of Cu in the fish and shellfish samples analyzed were all below the FAO recommended guideline (FAO 1983) except in prawn samples. Cu is an essential element that is carefully regulated by physiological mechanisms in most organisms (Erdoĝrul and Ates 2006). However, it poses potential hazards that endanger both animal and human health.…”

Although fish, crustacean, and shellfish are significant sources of protein, they are currently affected by rapid industrialization, resulting in increased concentrations of heavy metals. Accumulation of heavy metals (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sb, Ba, and Pb) and associated human health risk were investigated in three fish species, namely Ailia coila, Gagata youssoufi, and Mastacembelus pancalus; one crustacean (prawn), Macrobrachium rosenbergii; and one Gastropoda, Indoplanorbis exustus, collected from the Buriganga River, Bangladesh. Samples were collected from the professional fishermen. Cu was the most accumulated metal in M. rosenbergii. Ni, As, Ag, and Sb were in relatively lower concentrations, whereas relatively higher accumulation of Cr, Mn, Zn, and Se were recorded. Mn, Zn, and Pb were present in higher concentrations than the guidelines of various authorities. There were significant differences in metal accumulation among different fish, prawn, or shellfish species. Target hazard quotient (THQ) and target cancer risk (TR) were calculated to estimate the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks, respectively. The THQ for individual heavy metals were below 1 suggesting no potential health risk. But combined impact, estimated by hazard index (HI), suggested health risk for M. pancalus consumption. Although consumption of fish at current accumulation level is safe but continuous and excess consumption for a life time of more than 70 years has probability of target cancer risk.

“…The cysteine rich metallothioneins are synthesized by the liver to regulate metal ions in the fish body (Demirak et al, 2006). However, the amount of various metals in the fish organs depends upon their affinity to uptake specific metals (Erdogrul and Ates, 2006;Kousar and Javed, 2015) along with ability of various metals to react with sulfur, oxygen carboxylate, nitrogen of mercapto group or amino groups of liver metallothionein (Al-Yousuf et al, 2000). Fish liver showed significantly higher accumulation of Cd followed by kidney and gills.…”

To cite this paper: Javed, M., S. Abbas and F. Latif, 2016. Acute toxicity of cadmium and its bio-accumulation in the carnivorous fish species AbstractAcute toxicity of Cadmium (Cd) using 96 h LC50 and lethal concentrations was determined for the three fish species viz. Channa marulius, Mystus seenghala and Wallago attu. These toxicity tests were performed with three length groups (50, 100, 150 mm) of each fish species at constant water temperature (28ºC), pH (8) ). Fish mortality data were analyzed using Probit analysis method at 95% confidence interval to calculate 96 h LC50 and lethal concentrations of Cd. At the end of acute experiments, the organs (gills, kidney, liver, muscles) of dead fish were analyzed for Cd accumulation. Among the three carnivorous fish species, M. seenghala showed significantly higher sensitivity towards Cd toxicity followed by W. attu and C. marulius. However, 50 mm length group of all the three fish species exhibited significantly higher sensitivity towards Cd, followed by 100 and 150 mm length groups with significant differences. The organs of all fish species showed significant variations in their ability to amass Cd. However, C. marulius exhibited significantly (p<0.05) higher ability to amass Cd in its tissues followed by that of W. attu and M. seenghala. Among the fish organs, liver and kidney showed significantly higher ability to amass Cd during acute exposure of metal. This study will help in sustainable conservation of carnivorous fish species in the natural aquatic bodies of Pakistan.
