Impact of nickel mining in New Caledonia on marbled eels Anguilla marmorata

Element Concentrations in Muscle and Liver Tissue of Two Eel Species from the Incomati River, Mozambique

“…On the other hand, concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn in liver tissue, and Pb in both tissues of A. marmorata were higher compared to A. mossambica , with only Cd in the liver significantly higher. To the authors knowledge, the present study is the first to report bioaccumulated element concentrations in A. mossambica in Africa, as well as in its distribution range, while several studies conducted in various rivers in Vietnam, New Caledonia, and Indonesia, reported element concentrations in A. marmorata (Le et al 2009 , 2010 , 2012 ; Sarong et al 2013 ; Germande et al 2022 ). Comparing these element concentrations with concentrations found in A. marmorata from four rivers in the central part of Vietnam, where pesticides and fertilizers have been used intensively for agriculture (Le et al 2009 ), the concentrations for Cd, Cr, and Zn in the Incomati River were within the same range, whereas Cu concentrations were considerably lower and concentrations of Pb were higher in the present study.…”

“…Cadmium concentrations were within the same range as reported from A. marmorata in the Keureto River, Indonesia (Sarong et al 2013 ). Nickel concentrations in the muscle tissue of A. marmorata was very low compared to the liver (Germande et al 2022 ), the same is true for muscle and liver tissue collected from A. marmorata in the Incomati River. The element bioaccumulation patterns in the muscle tissue (Fig.…”
