“…While the causative agent of this newly detected disease remains unknown, we have performed a pilot analysis of the most likely potential causative agents recorded in literature: pathogens and metal bioaccumulation (Avila-Villa et al, 2012;Dragičević et al, 2021a;Kouba et al, 2010;Li et al, 2007;Tavabe et al, 2019;Vincent & Lotz, 2007;Wu et al, 2008). Hepatopancreas has a central role in detoxification (Wu et al, 2008) and multiple studies have demonstrated high metal accumulation in hepatopancreas (Fikirdeşici-Ergen, 2020;Gherardi, 2006;Xiong et al, 2020) and related histopathological changes similar or identical to those identified within this study (Li et al, 2007;Tavabe et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2008). Pilot analyses of water and sediment metal load revealed that both the Korana River and the reference (unpolluted) site in the Mrežnica River appear as generally clean watercourses with only somewhat higher concentrations of dissolved Mn and Fe in the surface water of both rivers, and additionally higher concentrations of As and Ba (4.5 times and 1.5-2.5 times, respectively) in the Korana River, when compared with pristine karstic rivers in and is also in line with other studies demonstrating differences between native and invasive alien crayfish in their metal requirements and rates of metal uptake, accumulation, detoxification and excretion (Gherardi, 2006).…”

“…However, many diseases (e.g., hemocytic enteritis), which can cause necrotic changes in crayfish hepatopancreas (Longshaw, 2011), are still classified as idiopathic. Except microorganisms, unfavourable environmental conditions such as long-term exposure to metals (i.e., lead, cadmium, zinc and copper) and their accumulation in hepatopancreas may also cause severe necrosis of tubules and their encapsulation and melanization (Kouba et al, 2010;Li et al, 2007;Longshaw et al, 2012;Tavabe et al, 2019;Wu et al, 2008).…”

As the most successful crayfish invader and possible vector for infectious agents, signal crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus is among the major drivers of the native crayfish species decline in Europe. We describe histopathological manifestation and frequency of newly detected idiopathic necrotizing hepatopancreatitis along the invasion range of the signal crayfish in the Korana River in Croatia. Our results show extremely high prevalence of necrotizing hepatopancreatitis (97.3%), with 58.9% of individuals displaying mild and 31.5% moderate histopathological changes in the hepatopancreas, also reflected in the lower hepatosomatic index of analysed animals. Recorded histopathological changes were more frequent in the invasion core where population density is higher. Our preliminary screening of co-occurring native narrow-clawed crayfish Pontastacus leptodactylus showed lower incidence (33.3%) and only mild hepatopancreatic lesions, but potentially highlighted the susceptibility of native crayfish populations to this disease. Pilot analyses of dissolved trace and macro elements in water, sediment fractions and crayfish hepatopancreas do not highlight alarming or unusually high concentrations of analysed elements. Hepatopancreas microbiome analysis, using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing, identified taxonomic groups that should be further investigated, along with impacts of the disease on health and viability of both invasive and native crayfish populations.

“…The authors concluded that exposure to Pb at low concentrations for longer durations affect the immune system, as well as exposure to high doses in a shorter period of time, which leads to a significant reduction in enzymes in the immune system. Tavabe et al [78] verified that the effects of chronic exposure to Pb and Cd in shrimp (Macrobrachium nipponense) at higher concentrations of both metals (0.072 and 0.12μM/L for Pb and 0.08μM/L for Cd) resulted in ceased reproductive activities. At lower concentrations after spawning, egg clutches were found detached from the female pleopods.…”

“…Baki et al [17] identified higher Pb concentrations in shrimp when compared to other crustaceans such as lobster and crab, as well as fish. Studies point to hepatopancreas, gills and the reproductive system as important Pb targets [73,75,77,78] in animals, while in humans the main target tissues are the kidneys, followed by the liver and other soft tissues such as heart and brain, with the nervous system being the most vulnerable organ [55].…”

Metals, many of which are potentially toxic, are present in the aquatic environment originated from both natural and anthropogenic sources. In these ecosystems, these elements are mostly deposited in the sediment, followed by water dissolution, potentially contaminating resident biota. Among several aquatic animals, crustaceans are considered excellent bioindicators, as they live in close contact with contaminated sediment. The accumulation of metal, whether they are classified as essential, when in excessive quantities or nonessential, not only cause damage to the health of these animals, but also to the man who consumes seafood. Among the main toxic elements to animal and human health are aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel and silver. In this context, this systematic review aimed to investigate the dynamics of these metals in water, the main bioaccumulative tissues in crustaceans, the effects of these contaminants on animal and human health, and the regulatory limits for these metals worldwide. A total of 91 articles were selected for this review, and an additional 68 articles not found in the three assessed databases were considered essential and included, totaling 159 articles published between 2010 and 2020. Our results indicate that both chemical speciation and abiotic factors such as pH, oxygen and salinity in aquatic environments affect element bioavailability, dynamics, and toxicity. Among crustaceans, crabs are considered the main bioindicator biological system, with the hepatopancreas appearing as the main bioaccumulator organ. Studies indicate that exposure to these elements may result in nervous, respiratory, and reproductive system effects in both animals and humans. Finally, many studies indicate that the concentrations of these elements in crustaceans intended for human consumption exceed limits established by international organizations, both with regard to seafood metal contents and well as daily, weekly, or monthly intake limits set for humans, indicating consumer health risks.

Lead Inhibits Postecdysial Exoskeletal Calcification in the Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus)

Postecdysial mineralization in crustaceans involves the deposition of carbonate salts, such as calcium carbonate, to the organic matrix. Because of the resemblance between Pb2+ and Ca2+, the present study was carried out to investigate whether Pb is incorporated into the new shell during postecdysial mineralization using the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) as the model crustacean. It was hypothesized that injected Pb would be deposited in the shell via calcium transporters in the epidermis during the mineralization process. Postecdysial blue crabs were injected with two doses of 5 µg Pb/g wet weight each in lead acetate, and then Pb, Ca, and Mg contents were analyzed in the exoskeleton, while only Pb bioaccumulation was quantified for the hepatopancreas, gills, muscles, and hemolymph. The results showed a statistically nonsignificant increase in exoskeletal Pb content in Pb‐treated crabs compared to control, suggesting that exoskeletal Pb may not be a sensitive proxy for aquatic Pb pollution. There was a significant decrease in Ca content in Pb‐treated crabs, suggesting that Pb hindered the deposition of Ca to crab exoskeleton, thereby obstructing calcification. A trend of a decrease in exoskeletal Mg was also observed in Pb‐treated crabs. There was a significant increase in Pb content found in the gills, hepatopancreas, muscle, and hemolymph in Pb‐treated crabs. The rank of the Pb level among three soft tissues in a decreasing order is hepatopancreas > gill > muscle. This is the first study to present evidence that Pb disrupts postecdysial exoskeletal calcification in a crustacean. Environ Toxicol Chem 2022;41:474–482. © 2021 SETAC
