“…For Johnius belangerii, the Setiu sample (0.26) was higher than those of Daya Bay's Fishery Resource Reserve, South China Sea (0.14; [75]), and Indonesia (0.01; [76]), but lower than those of Musa estuary (0.45 by Monikh et al [77]; 1.49 by Ravanbakhsh et al [78]).…”

Human exposure to highly nickel (Ni)-polluted environments through oral ingestion pathways may cause various pathological effects. This biomonitoring study aimed to assess the human health risk of potentially toxic Ni in 19 species of marine fishes from Setiu (Terengganu) and two popular seafood molluscs (mangrove snail Cerithidea obtusa and cockle Anadara granosa) from the coastal area of Peninsular Malaysia. The Ni levels of the three seafood types were found below the maximum permissible limit for Ni. The Ni target hazard quotient values of all seafood were lower than 1.00 for average and high-level (AHL) Malaysian consumers, indicating no Ni’s non-carcinogenic risk of seafood consumption. It was also found that the calculated values of estimated weekly intake were below than established provisional tolerable weekly intake of Ni for both AHL consumers. It can be concluded that both the AHL consumption of seafood would not pose adverse effects of Ni to the consumers. This study provided a scientific basis for the food safety assessment of Ni and suggestions for risk management of potentially toxic Ni of seafood consumption in Malaysia.

“… Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) (Equation (2)) [ 9 , 20 ].

where: EF—exposure frequency to trace elements (365 days/year); ED—exposure duration (70 years); MS—food ingestion rate, 34.8 g/day [ 17 ]; C—concentration of trace element in fish muscles and female gonads and testicles (mg/kg); RfD—oral reference dose of trace element (mg/kg BW/day) (Zn = 0.3; Ni = 0.02; Fe = 0.7; Mn = 0.14; Cr = 0.003; Cu = 0.04; Li = 0.02; Pb = 0.0035; Cd = 0.001; Hg = 0.0001) [ 3 , 9 ]; BW—reference body weight of 70 kg; AT—averaged exposure time e to non-carcinogenic trace elements (365 days × 70 years).

“…Fishes are a valuable human food thanks to the high contents of omega 3 polyunsaturated acids, fat-soluble vitamins, and essential minerals [ 1 ]; however, fishes readily take up contaminants, including trace elements, especially toxic metals (cadmium, lead, and mercury), from the water and food and accumulate them in their tissues [ 2 , 3 ].…”

The aim of this study was to assess the risk to consumers associated with the intake of toxic metals and other trace elements in diets that include the female gonads, testicles, and muscles of four popular freshwater fish species in Poland—common bream (Abramis brama L.), European perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), common roach (Rutilus rutilus L.), and northern pike (Esox Lucius L.). The following methods were used to determine the elements: GF-AAS (Pb, Cd); CV-AAS (Hg); ICP-AES (Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Li, Cr, Al). The concentration of toxic elements (Hg, Cd, Pb) in the female gonads and testicles ranged from 0.004 ± 0.006 mg/kg (Cd) to 0.028 ± 0.018 mg/kg (Pb). Of the other elements, the lowest content was noted for Cr (0.122 ± 0.182 mg/kg) and the highest for Al (46.98 ± 31.89 mg/kg). The study confirmed that female gonads and testicles are a valuable source of essential trace elements (Zn, Fe). Considering the content of toxic elements, the raw material of female gonads and testicles posed no health risks (THQ < 1).

“…The effects of trace metals on human health are not taken into account if the THQ value is <1, while THQ > 1 is indicative of health risk to humans [35]; the higher the value, the greater the risk. The total risk index is the summation of individual trace metal risk indexes [36].…”

Wulungu Lake is a vital fishery area in Xinjiang. However, the concentration, enrichment rules, and sources of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn in the aquatic organisms, have rarely been investigated. The results suggest that the concentrations of As, Ni, Pb, and Zn were higher than those recommended by the national standards for edible fish in some species. Hg, Ni, Cu, Pb, Cr, and Zn in the fish were dependent on the concentration of trace metals in the water environment (p < 0.05). The body weights of the fish were significantly negatively correlated with only Hg (p < 0.05); however, their body lengths were significantly positively correlated with As, Cu, Zn, and Hg contents. Values of δ13C ‰ (δ15N ‰) for the entire fish food web was found to range from −19.9‰ (7.37‰) to −27.7‰ (15.9‰), indicating a wide range of trophic positions and energy sources. Based on the linear correlation, As, Cu, Cd, and Zn contents were positively correlated with δ15N (p < 0.05), and bioaccumulation was observed in the fish. The target hazard quotient (THQ) of all fish species was less than 1, indicating the absence of potential risks to human health.
