“…Fish liver accumulates the highest Cu levels (Rashed, 2001), since Cu represents an inherent part of the enzymes localized in the liver (Kenšova et al, 2010). The highest Al and Sr concentrations were found in gills, which is in line with previous studies on the Danube fish (Višnjić-Jeftić et al, 2010;Jarić et al, 2011;Sunjog et al, 2012). In the present study, there was no clear relationship observed between the fish length and the elemental accumulation.…”

“…Through the food chain, fish are able to accumulate pollutants such as heavy metals at levels that could represent a potential risk, not only to the fish but also to piscivorous animals and the human population (Berveots and Blust, 2003;Burger and Gochfeld, 2005;Çalta and Canpolat, 2006;Alibabić et al, 2007;Yilmaz et al, 2007). Heavy metals and trace elements differ in their accumulation levels and patterns depending on fish species, as well as on a fish tissue (Rashed, 2001;Višnjić-Jeftić et al, 2010;Jarić et al, 2011). Special attention should be given to tissues that are used by humans (i.e., muscle, liver and gonads) and to fish species that are able to accumulate higher concentrations of toxic elements.…”

Key-words:heavy metal, carp, catfish, Danube, pollutionThe Danube River in the vicinity of the city of Belgrade receives large amounts of untreated or poorly treated communal and industrial waste waters. The aim of this study was to assess elemental accumulation patterns in a number of economically important fish species in this area that belong to different trophic levels. Concentrations of 17 elements (Al, As, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr and Zn) were assessed in liver, muscle, gills and gonads of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), freshwater bream (Abramis brama), white bream (Blicca bjoerkna), common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and wels catfish (Silurus glanis) from the Danube River in Serbia by the use of ICP-OES. Silver carp specimens were differentiated from the other four species by high concentrations of Al and Fe in the liver. Common carp specimens were differentiated by high concentrations of Zn in gills, muscle and liver. Distribution of elements among different tissues had a consistent pattern among the species. Concentrations of Pb, Cd, As, Zn, Cu and Fe in muscle were at acceptable levels for human consumption, while concentrations of Fe and Zn were above maximum acceptable concentrations in liver and gonads. RÉSUMÉ Les concentrations de 17 éléments dans le muscle, le foie, les branchies et les gonades de cinq espèces de poissons économiquement importants du Danube Mots-clés : métaux lourds, carpes, silure, Danube, pollutionLe Danube à proximité de la ville de Belgrade reçoit de grandes quantités d'eaux usées communales et industrielles non traitées ou mal traitées. Le but de cette étude était d'évaluer les schémas d'accumulation des éléments dans un certain nombre d'espèces de poissons économiquement importants dans cette région, qui appartiennent à différents niveaux trophiques. Les concentrations de 17 élé-ments (Al, As, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr et Zn) ont été évaluées dans le foie, le muscle, les branchies et les gonades de la carpe argentée (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), la brème commune (Abramis brama), la brème bordelière (Blicca björkna), la carpe commune (Cyprinus carpio) et silure glane (Silurus glanis) du Danube en Serbie par l'utilisation de l'ICP-OES. Les spécimens de carpes argentées se différencient des quatre autres espèces par des concentrations élevées d'aluminium et de fer dans le foie. Les spécimens de carpes communes sont caractérisés par de fortes concentrations de Zn dans les branchies, les muscles et le foie. La répartition des éléments entre différents tissus a un schéma

“…Our results implied the muscle generally had lower accumulation capacity for heavy metal than the other tissues, which is in accordance with findings in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus) and Pontic shad (Alosa immaculate) (Poleksic et al 2010;Visnjic-Jeftic et al 2010;Jaric et al 2011). …”

Fish is consumed as a common food by humans due to its nutritional and therapeutic benefits. However, they can accumulate toxic chemicals (such as heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants) from water and food chain. Very few studies have been investigated on heavy metal contents in fish from Tibetan Autonomous Region of China. In order to study heavy metals levels in fish from aquaculture farms and evaluate the risk that human consume fish in this area, we collected four types of aquaculture fish species (6 big-head carps, 5 grass carps, 5 carps and 5 tilapias) from fisheries around Lhasa city in this study. 9 heavy metals (Cr, As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Ba, Co, Mn and V) in different tissues of fish were determined by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Cr, Ba, Co, Mn and V could easily accumulate in the gill, and Cu was detected in the hearts of all the fishes. Toxic metal (As, Cd and Pb) contents were higher in the liver than those in other tissues, heavy metal levels were the lowest in the muscle among all tissues. Most of heavy metal concentrations in the tilapia tissues were higher than those in other fish tissues, especially arsenic. Arsenic content in the tilapia samples was *2-4 times higher than the maximum levels (MLs) of contaminants in the national standard, and other metals were all lower than the MLs. Compared the estimated daily intake of heavy metals through fish consumption with tolerable daily intakes recommended by FAO, the metals daily intake of As, Cd and Pb from fish consumption might not pose serious health risk to the local inhabitants. It is therefore necessary to determine the dose level for human, which is considered to be taken daily over a lifetime without adverse effects.

“…The Chasicó Lake's silverside liver and gills showed high concentrations of As and F -. The values of both trace elements found in silverside were similar to those reported by other authors in liver and gills (Shah et al 2009, Shi et al 2009, Višnjić-Jeftić et al 2010, Jarić et al 2011. In both tissues the values exceeded the maximum allowed levels according to the Argentine Food Code (1985) (As: 1 μg/g, F -: 1.5 μg/g).…”

“…This pathology may be associated with the direct effect of these trace elements on the sinusoidal endothelial cells, which leads to focal necrosis areas and apoptosis cells (Roy and Bhattacharya 2006). Most of the pathologies found in the liver of Chasicó Lake fishes were reported by other authors (Shah et al 2009, Višnjić-Jeftić et al 2010, Jarić et al 2011, however, peliosis areas were not found. In contrast, Ahmed et al (2013) reported cellular rupture in hepatocytes of Oreochromis mossambicus that occurs either directly by denaturation of volume-regulating ATPases or indirectly by disruption of the cellular energy transfer processes required for ionic regulation.…”

Water bodies in the Chaco-Pampean plain contain arsenic (As) and fluoride (F -) occurring naturally. Chasicó Lake, located in the southwest of Buenos Aires Province, has high concentrations of both elements (As, 0.05-0.41 mg/L; F -, 6.74-8.54 mg/L). Fish can be considered as indicators of environmental pollution. The aim of this study was to analyze whether the presence of high concentrations of As and F -found in the liver and gills of Odonthestes bonariensis could be associated to histological changes found in these tissues. Fish were sampled from different locations of the lake. Tissue samples (liver and gills) were subdivided and subjected to an acid digestion to determine As and to an alkaline digestion to determine F -. Morphological changes were assessed using routine histological techniques. As concentrations in the liver were higher than in the gills, while the gills showed higher F -concentrations. The histological examination of the liver and gills showed alterations that could correspond to the effects of the high As and F -concentrations found in these tissues. The toxicity of these elements is due to oxidative stress. Silverside is one commercially relevant fish in Buenos Aires and a key species in the food chain in the region. Therefore, further histopathological studies are relevant to guarantee this fish's health and safety for human consumption.Palabras clave: histopatología, elementos traza, pejerrey, Argentina RESUMEN Los cuerpos de agua de la llanura Chaco-Pampeana contienen arsénico (As) y fluoruro (F -) cuyo origen es natural. El Lago Chasicó, ubicado en el sudoeste bonaerense, presenta elevadas concentraciones de ambos elementos (As: 0.05-0.41 mg/L; F -: 6.74-8.54 mg/L). Los peces pueden considerarse como indicadores de contaminación ambiental. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar si la presencia de altas concentraciones de As y F -halladas en hígado y branquias de Odonthestes bonariensis pudiera estar asociada con los cambios histológicos encontrados en estos tejidos. Los peces fueron colectados en diferentes localidades del lago.
