“…This higher concentration of Pb in C. bellicosus could be explained by the use of glyphosate-based pesticides in the region (Balderrama-Carmona et al, 2020), which includes Pb in their formulation (Defarge et al, 2018), and its bioavailability could be increased by the constant wastewater discharges from urban and agricultural areas into the NAV (Álvaro et al, 2016). Zn has been reported to have a high affinity for organic carbon in sediments (Cyriac et al, 2021) and is an essential component of the reproductive coenzymes in the genus Callinectes (Çoğun et al, 2017). In this report, the concentration of Zn and the higher concentrations of Cu confirm the relevance of these elements in the metabolism of estuarine crabs (Anandkumar et al, 2019) like C. bellicosus.…”

This study was carried out in the Navachiste coastal lagoon, Mexico, surrounded by intensive agricultural and aquaculture activities that cause environmental pollution by the deposition of trace metal residues in the sediments of this coastal lagoon. The trace metals are bioaccumulated by benthic organisms such as the blue swimming warrior crab, Callinectes bellicosus, which inhabits this lagoon and is consumed by humans. Ninety-five C. bellicosus edible tissue samples were collected (April 2014–January 2015). The extraction procedure of the trace metals in edible tissue samples was carried out by acid digestion with nitric acid. Based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the United States, two indices were used to measure health risk: the estimated daily intake (EDI) and the target hazard quotient (THQ). The hazard index (HI) was used to calculate the probability of adverse carcinogenic risk and the target hazard quotient per sample (MHI) to calculate the probability of developing a carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic risk. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed significant differences among trace metal concentrations (p < 0.01), but all trace metal concentrations in the edible tissues of C. bellicosus were higher than the maximum residual limits (MRLs). The highest EDI was for Zn, Fe, and Cu, showing that the consumption of these crabs might represent health risks. The THQ >1 was for Ni, Zn, Cd, and Cu, and the HI = 16 revealed the risk of C. bellicosus for high-level consumers. The MHI showed that 98% of samples presented a THQ >1, implying a high rate of bioaccumulation of trace metals by the crabs independent of the sampling site in the NAV. The presence of trace metals in the edible tissue of crabs reflects contamination by trace metals, and the indices results mean that the NAV lagoon is constantly polluted with trace metal residues by neighboring agriculture and aquaculture activities. These trace metal residues are being bioaccumulated in the edible tissues of C. bellicosus due to its feeding habits, resulting in a health risk if its consumption is high, including carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks.

“…Human actions that release trace metals into aquatic habitats can be broken down by deposits and incorporated into sediments. When it comes to metals, sediments are the most concentrated physical pool (Pourang, 1996;Amini Ranjbar, 1998;Ferraro et al, 2006;Al-Wesabi et al, 2015;Birch et al, 2015;Saeed e Zaki, 2017;Al-Hasawi et al, 2018;Cyriac et al, 2021). This is the first time to determine heavy metals in Domat Al-Gandal lake.…”

Man-made lakes are landscape modifications that can help the ecology. Artificial lakes may support several ecosystems. New plants and animals alter ecosystems. Humans constructed Domat Al-Gandal Lake which is located between 29°49'12. 08N and 29°48'23.54N and 39°54'9.33E and 39°54'57.19E in northern Saudi Arabia. Eutrophication affects the water quality in many lakes worldwide by encouraging the growth of planktonic algae. Natural and man-made sources add heavy metals to lakes .Most heavy metals are low in concentrations. Summer temperatures reached 28.9 °C and winter temperatures 10.8 °C. Maximum turbidity occurred in winter (5.53 NTU) and minimum in autumn (4.15 NTU). The regional transparency averaged 2.48 m. Autumn and spring pH was 7.60 to 8.28, respectively. Total phosphorus ranged from 101.48 to 88.85 µg/L. Regional heavy metal averages fluctuated little. Four phytoplankton communities groups were identified. Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Bacillariophyceae, and Dinophyceae. Seasonal changes in phytoplankton populations were narrow. Chlorophyta and Cyanophyta had the highest-standing crops. Maximum phytoplankton density was in the north (84.045 X 10 3 Cell/L) and the south (71.370 X 10 3 Cell/L). This research examined the numerous approaches used to evaluate lake water quality and eutrophication, showed, and analyzed eutrophication sources, nutrient transformations, and eutrophication mechanisms, and proposed complete management options for watershed development.due to the human factor. Therefore, more environmental studies must be done, including abiotic and biotic factors are required.3. The lake is considered one of the critical routes for bird migration, which impacts the lake.4. Further studies on the estimation of heavy elements in water and sediments, as well as the organisms that live in the waters of Domat Al-Gandal lake.Further laboratory studies on the effect of heavy metals on some types of algae isolated from Domat Al-Gandal lake.

“…It has been previously reported how pollutant residues inputs are deposited in the sediments of the coastal lagoons close to agricultural drains 80 , such as TM residues, which have been reported in edible tissues of the marine species and sediments inhabiting those ecosystems 17 , 18 , 20 , 35 , 69 , 109 . The discrepancies in the levels of heavy metals among the different studies could be due to the difference in fish metabolism, metal bioactivity, species of fishes, and trophic levels 55 , 59 , type of contaminants, geographical location 110 , capture season, fish size, fish age 52 , 55 , and the detainment period of metals in water 111 , 112 .…”

The Navachiste complex (NAV) is impacted by neighbored human activities and is located in the southwestern coastal zone of the Gulf of California. The study determines the trace metal (TM) and organochlorine pesticides (OCP) health risk content in the edible tissue of Sphoeroides spp. from NAV. The daily intakes (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), hazard index (HI), and carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks were calculated. Twenty OCP and seven TM were detected. Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, and Zn were above MRLs. The γ‒Chlordane was the most frequent OCP. The highest average concentration was for α‒HCH, followed by γ‒chlordane. With the high ratios of γ‒HCH, p, p′‒ DDD and p, p′‒DDD, and the absence of p, p′‒ DDT, the higher ratios for dieldrin and endrin than for aldrin, α‒ chlordane, γ‒chlordane, heptachlor, and heptachlor epoxide indicates historical contamination. In contrast, the residual products of methoxychlor, endosulfan, and its isomers indicate endosulfan's recent use. The TM EDI, THQ > 1 (at 120 g day−1), and the ILCR (> 1 × 10–6) were above minimum levels, showing a high-risk potential for cancer development in the long term.
