“…Ni and the compounds are human carcinogens causing cancers of the lung, nasal cavity, and paranasal sinuses after inhalation ( EFSA, 2015 ). Our average values of Ni recorded in F. virilis samples (Ozark Fisheries and Busby farm; Table 4 ) were comparable to those reported for wild and farmed crayfish ( Zhou et al., 2021 ) but higher in P. a. acutus from Ozark Fisheries. Average Ni levels (this study) were below those in crayfish tail muscle ( Hothem et al., 2007 ).…”

“…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 ).…”

“…The essential elements such as Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn play several roles in physiological and biochemical processes in humans. Notwithstanding, they can also be harmful ( Zhou et al., 2021 ) above certain thresholds. The non-essential elements such as Pb, As, Hg, and Cd are toxic, persistent, and not easily biodegradable in the environment ( ATSDR, 2021 ).…”

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 addition, children face a greater risk than adults according to the CR values for other metals, which is similar to the noncarcinogenic risk results of a previous study [30]. Likewise, a higher level of risk of Cd and As was found in the Yangtze River [24]. These results suggest that it is necessary to monitor the toxic metal concentrations in the aquatic organisms for regulatory requirements.…”

Due to the rapid development of the crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) industry in Chinese catering, people are paying more attention to the bioaccumulation of heavy metals in crayfish. To evaluate the health risks associated with the consumption of crayfish, nine types of heavy metals in both crayfish and abdominal muscles of crayfish were investigated. Crayfish samples were collected from rice-crayfish-based coculture breeding modes from different areas located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The average concentrations of heavy metals in the whole crayfish were much higher than the abdominal muscle of crayfish. The estimated daily intake (EDI) of heavy metals in the abdomen of crayfish was calculated to assess the noncarcinogenic risk and the overall noncarcinogenic risk including the target hazard quotient (THQ), the hazard index (HI) and carcinogenic risk (CR). The results of the present study showed that the consumption of crayfish may not present an obvious health risk to human associated with heavy metals. However, the THQ values of As in the abdominal muscles of crayfish for adults in EnShi (ES) and children in JiaYu (JY) should be of concern due to the higher contribution to the potential health risks of crayfish compared to other metals. Through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) detection of heavy metal As, it is found that As in crayfish culture environment mainly exists in the form of As3+.Therefore, the quality and quantity of crayfish consumption should be moderated to prevent the bioaccumulation of As. The results indicate that crayfish cultured in different areas may have similar pollution levels and/or emissions from the same pollution sources.
