“…The concentrations of ∑PAHs in muscle tissues of the investigated fish (12.5-22.0 ng g −1 ww) were comparable to the concentrations in fish muscle collected from other locations in China, such as: freshwater fish collected from markets in Hong .4 ng g −1 ww, Cheung et al, 2007), fishponds in Pearl River .1 ng g −1 ww, Kong et al, 2005), Poyang Lake (53.9-513 ng g −1 ww, Zhao et al, 2014) and Mai Po Marshes Nature Reserve in Hong ng g −1 dw, Liang et al, 2007). The concentrations were also comparable to those in fish muscle from coast of Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America (Musa Bandowe et al, 2014;Soclo et al, 2008;Rojo-Nieto et al, 2014;Mashroofeh et al, 2015).…”

“…2001; Liang et al, 2007;Malik et al, 2008;Pointet and Milliet, 2000;Zhao et al, 2014). Relative higher concentrations of PAH congeners with lower octanol-water partition coefficients (Log Kow less than 5.0) in fish are due to their higher gill-water transfer efficiencies as suggested by Cheung et al (2007), while lower residues of compounds with higher molecular weight (HMW) and higher Kow (Log Kow larger than 5.0) might be mainly attributed to the enhanced biotransformation as well as decreased gut assimilation in fish (Liang et al, 2007).…”

Thus the finding of PAH congeners pattern in fish of the present study may suggest that the investigated fish in TGR can metabolize HMW PAHs more readily than the LMW PAHs (e.g., naphthalene, phenanthrene).…”

“…The sources of PAHs are both from natural and anthropogenic mainly from incomplete combustion of organic materials, fossil fuel and petroleum (Liang et al, 2007). PAHs can also form in meat cooked or fish smoked at high temperatures.…”

“…In fact, most of the researches conducted focus more attention on the detection of PAHs and heavy metals from the wild catch (Pointet, 2000;Llobet et al, 2006;Liang et al, 2007;Lakshmanan et al, 2009) while relatively little attention is focused on the levels of PAHs and heavy metals in cultured fish species. In addition, PAHs and heavy metals concentrations in water, sediments and most importantly in the tissues and blood of farmed fish species from aquaculture fish ponds need to be thoroughly evaluated.…”

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals contribute to pollutants in aquaculture facilities and thus need to be further investigated. Besides, there is little information regarding PAHs and heavy metals in the tissues of cultured fish, and the risks associated to consumption. In this review, emphasis has been made on the detection of PAHs and heavy metals in cultured fish species which has relatively received little attention in the aquaculture industry compared to researches on the levels of PAHs and heavy metals from the wild catch. The review also focuses on the detection of PAHs and heavy metals in most of the feed ingredients commonly used in the formulation of feed for farmed fish species. The use of chemicals like antibiotics, feed additives, soil and water treatment and other products used in the aquaculture facility or site is also well emphasized and need to be well documented. Future research goals are well stressed and need to be given more attention in aquaculture. @JASEM

Aromatic sensitizers and related compounds (SRCs) originating from thermal recording material as impurities in waste paper have been detected in aquatic environments near cities where the paper industry is flourishing. In the present study, the levels of exposure to such SRCs and the stable isotope ratios (δ(13)C and δ(15)N) in different fish species (Konosirus punctatus, Takifugu niphobles, and Tribolodon hakonensis) were analyzed. These fish species were collected from the vicinity of waste paper recycling plants in Japan. Eleven SRCs were identified in fish muscle at total concentration levels (ΣSRCs) of 64 to 818 ng/g wet weight (mean 181 ng/L wet wt). The dominant SRCs in the fish samples were 1,1-di(4-methylphenyl)ethane, 1,2-bis(3-methylphenoxy)ethane, and 1,4-dibenzyloxybenzene. Stable isotope ratios showed that, although three species feed on the same trophic level, K. punctatus and T. niphobles live in waters farther offshore than those in which T. hakonensis live. The contributions of various factors to the accumulation were also assessed. The lipid content (r(2) = 0.512, p < 0.001) was found to be the significant factor that influenced accumulation of SRCs in fish. The results also revealed significant positive correlation between the accumulation patterns and SRC components in water (r(2) = 0.512-0.658, all p values <0.05), but they showed negative correlations between the SRCs in fish and log K(OW) values. This suggests that the aqueous route is the predominant route for the accumulation of SRCs in fish. This is the first study on the accumulation of aromatic sensitizers in aquatic biota.
