“…Our average Cd level (all samples) was lower than the concentration (2.2 mg kg À1 ) found in the crayfish P. clarkia (Goretti et al, 2016, Table 7), and shrimp P. semisulcatus muscle (0.072 μg g À1 ; Shalini et al, 2020) but comparable to the level in crayfish tail muscle (Hothem et al, 2007) and farmed P. clarkia (Gedik et al, 2017). In contrast, our average Cd content was higher than the level in A. leptodactylus (Varol and Sünbül, 2017).…”

“…Likewise, our average Zn levels in F. virilis (9.46 mg kg −1 ) and P. a. acutus (11.1 mg kg −1 ww), were consistently below the mean concentrations reported for P . clarkia (98 mg kg −1 ; Goretti et al., 2016 ), farmed P. clarkii (61.6 mg kg −1 dw; Gedik et al., 2017 ), cultured P. clarkia muscle (21.1 mg kg −1 ww), tail muscle ( Hothem et al., 2007 ), and the 30-ppm legal limit for fish ( FAO, 1983 ). However, our average Zn contents were higher than the mean level for P. clarkii muscle from the USA ( Anandkumar et al., 2020 ).…”

“…The higher trophic level interactions of crayfish facilitate metal biomagnification ( Gunderson et al., 2021 ) with the possible transfer of metals to wildlife and humans. Previous studies found toxic elements in crustaceans from natural ( Suárez-Serrano et al., 2010 ; Allert et al., 2013 ; Varol and Sünbül, 2018 ) and cultured ( Gedik et al., 2017 ; Xiong et al., 2020 ) systems with varying levels in the tissues and organs ( Shalini et al., 2020 ; Zhau et al., 2021 ). Crayfish is widely consumed and metal transfers in organisms occur from the water column, sediment, and biota ( Shalini et al., 2020 ).…”

Farmed crustaceans are an important component in addressing the rising animal protein demand. The present study determined the concentrations of fourteen elements (Ag, As, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Sn, Pb, and Zn) in the edible abdominal muscle of cultured freshwater crayfish species ( Faxonius virilis; Procambarus acutus acutus ) from Missouri. Also, this paper describes the dietary intake and the human health risks from the consumption of crayfish muscle in the adult population. Overall, 172 animals were captured between February 2017 and January 2018 for assessment. Concentrations of metals (Ag, Be, Cd, Cu, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sn, Mo, and Zn) and metalloid (As) in the muscle tissue were determined after microwave-assisted acid digestion by ICP - OES. Health indices (EDI/EWI: estimated daily/weekly intakes; THQ: target hazard quotient; TTHQ: total target hazard quotient; ILCR: incremental lifetime cancer risk; and ∑ILCR: cumulative lifetime cancer risk) were calculated and compared to thresholds. Of all samples, the highest concentrations (mg kg −1 wet weight) of metal(loid)s in muscle were Ag (0.11), As (3.15), Be (0.21), Cd (0.11), Co (0.32), Cr (1.22), Cu (107), Fe (23.0), Mn (8.54), Mo (0.62), Ni (2.65), Pb (1.76), Sn (5.91), and Zn (19.2). In both species, the average As, Cd, and Zn concentrations were below the legal limits. However, the levels of Cu, Pb, and As, in some samples, were in exceedance of the maximum levels. In both species, a significant correlation (p < 0.05) was observed between the carapace length (CL) and animal body weight (BW). In P. acutus , CL, BW, and animal total length were homogenous (p > 0.05) among the sexes. Non-parametric Kruskal–Wallis test results indicated significant differences (p < 0.05) in the levels of As, Be, and Zn in F. virilis , and Be and Cr in P. a. acutus among the genders. Significant inter-species differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the levels of Be, Ni, and Pb and the growth factors. The EDI/EWI values were below the permissible limits. THQ and TTHQ values, being below 1.0, indicated no probabilistic health risk. Regarding carcinogenic risk, only As and Ni indicated cancer risk (ILCR >10 −5 and ∑ILCR >10 −5 ) to the adult population. High metals/metalloid exposure from crayfish muscle consumption posed potential health hazards to the adult population.

“…In the same study the concentration of As in hepatopancreas was lower than those found in the present study (1.128 µg g −1 w.w.) [16]. Comparable levels of As in muscle were found by Gedik et al in crayfish from Lousiana [14]. Devesa et al [27] report arsenic concentration ranging from 9.2 to 12 µg g −1 in muscle and from 2.5 to 2.6 µg g −1 in hepatopancreas of crayfish from Southern Spain, higher than those found in the present study.…”

“…Moreover, P. clarkii is considered by the scientific community as an optimal bioindicator for trace elements contamination [11,12]. Indeed, the red swamp crayfish has been used as an indicator species to monitor the environmental quality and the contamination of biological habitats in previous studies [7,[13][14][15][16][17]. Nowadays, the red swamp crayfish is listed in Italy as an invasive species.…”

The aim of this study was to carry out a quali-quantitative analysis of the presence of non-essential and essential trace elements in freshwater crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) edible tissues to establish the healthiness of this product and to evaluate the pollution status of the sampling sites included in the present study. P. clarkii is one of the most common species of freshwater crustaceans in Italy, regularly consumed by local people. Moreover, the crayfish, due to its trophic position and diet, can be considered as an excellent bioindicator of the health status of the ecosystem. We collected sixty crayfish samples from two different sites in Campania (Italy): Villa Literno and Sessa Aurunca. Concentrations of trace elements were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). Our data showed low concentrations of Cd, Hg and Pb, with values below the European Commission MRL (Commission Regulation (EC) 1881/2006). We suggest that data obtained from this study showed that crayfish collected from Villa Literno and Sessa Aurunca were safe for human consumption. Furthermore, the results of this research indicated mild contamination of heavy metals of the sampling sites, indicating a good health status of the area’s aquatic ecosystem.

Cadmium (Cd), a non-biodegradable contaminant in freshwater ecosystems, can pose a serious threat to aquatic animals at high levels. In this study, the Cd toxicokinetics and the immune and antioxidant defense were explored after the cray sh exposed to different levels of Cd (0, 0.1, 1.0 mg Cd/L) or treated with 1.0 mg Cd/L and dietary Bacillus subtilis supplementation (1 x 10 7 cfu/g). Results from the 21-day uptake and depuration experiment revealed that Cd exposure elicited a dose-and time-dependent uptake in all cray sh tissues, and the rank order of Cd concentration was: gill > hepatopancreas > exoskeleton > muscle. The two-compartment model demonstrated that gills had the highest k u value after Cd aqueous exposure and the k u and k d values in gill, hepatopancreas, and exoskeleton of the group with 1.0 mg Cd/L were higher than those of the group with low Cd concentration (0.1 mg Cd/L). However, B. subtilis could increase Cd k u and decrease Cd k d in hepatopancreas, resulting in the reduction of BCF, C ss and T b1/2 . A positive correlation was found between aqueous Cd concentration and the severity of hepatopancreas histopathological injury, while B. subtilis could ameliorate the pathological damage in the high Cd group. Similarly, Cd aqueous exposure elevated malonaldehyde (MDA) content and suppressed the activities of lysozyme (LZM), acid phosphatase (ACP) and alkaline phosphatase (AKP) in hemolymph. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in hepatopancreas were also inhibited. Nevertheless, they were all recovered with the dietary addition of B. subtilis. In conclusion, our results indicated that exposure to Cd signi cantly increased Cd accumulation and toxic damages in cray sh hepatopancreas, while dietary administration of B. subtilis to cray sh signi cantly decreased Cd accumulation and improved the immune and antioxidant defense, leading to the prevention in toxic effects of Cd.
