“…Considerable data presented so far illustrate the effects of heavy metals on aquaculture animals such as shrimp (Sadiq and Zaidi 1982;Rainbow and White 1989;Moksnes et al 1995;Guhathakurta and Kaviraj 2000). Heavy metal contaminants can affect the growth or reproduction of different organisms (Calabrese et al 1977;Spurgeon et al 1994).…”

The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family is widely expressed in eukaryotic cells as the major chaperone protein. In this study, the full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of a novel inducible cytosolic Hsp70 family member (FcHsp70) was cloned from Fenneropenaeus chinensis. FcHsp70 full-length cDNA consists of 2,511 bp with a 1,890-bp open reading frame encoding 629 amino acids. Three Hsp70 protein family signatures, IDLGTTYS, IIDLGGGTFDVSIL, and IVLVGGSTRIPKVQK, were found in the predicted FcHsp70 amino acid sequence. Phylogenetic analysis showed that FcHsp70 was categorized together with the inducible HSP70s reported in other crustaceans. Compared to the previously identified cognate Hsp70 (FcHsc70) in F. chinensis, the expression of FcHsp70 showed quite different expression profiles when the shrimp were subjected to different stresses including heat shock and heavy metal treatments. Under heat shock treatment, the expression of FcHsp70 showed much higher up-regulation than FcHsc70. Copper treatment also induced higher up-regulation of FcHsp70 than FcHsc70. Cadmium treatment did not induce the expression of FcHsp70, but caused down-regulation of FcHsc70. The different expression profiles of FcHsp70 and FcHsc70 in shrimp may indicate their different reactions to different stresses. Therefore, Hsp70 or Hsc70 could be developed as a biomarker to indicate different stresses in shrimp.

“…Proximate analyses of the experimental diets were performed following the AOAC procedures (Helrich 1990) as follows: moisture was determined by oven drying at 105ºC for 24 h; crude protein (Nitrogen * 6.25) was determined by micro-Kjeldahl digestion; total lipid was determined by extracting the residue with 40-60ºC petroleum ether for 7-8 h in a Soxhlet apparatus and ash was determined by ignition at 550ºC in a Muffle furnace to a constant weight. Concentration of Co in the tissues, and Cr in the diets and faeces were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Varian Spectra AA240) located in the Saha and Gilbreath (1991), Kaviraj and Ghosal (1998), and Guhathakurta and Kaviraj (2000). Water quality parameters in the experimental tanks were checked following standard procedures of APHA (Anonymous 1995).…”

“…Fish samples are considered as one of the most indicative factors in freshwater systems, for the estimation of trace metals pollution potential (Evans et al 1993;Rashed 2001;Papagiannis et al 2004). Several studies have shown that metal accumulation can effect the wild species (Guhathakurta & Kaviraj 2000;Kargin 1998;Canli & Atli 2003;Papagiannis et al 2004;Fernandes et al 2007).…”

Atatürk Dam Lake is an important ecosystem located in south-eastern Anatolia in Turkey. In this study, concentration of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn were determined in kidney, liver, gill and muscle of Tor grypus which has great economic value in Atatürk Dam Lake. Heavy metal levels in fish samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP). The metal accumulation in the liver, kidney and gill of Tor grypus was found to be quite high in comparison to the muscle. All metal levels detected in tissues were the limits for fish proposed by FAO/ WHO, EU and Turkish Food Codes and safe within the limits for human consumption in the edible parts of fish species in the region.
