“…One possible explanation is that fish could have physiological mechanisms that reduce the impact of metals on body condition (Tenji et al 2020). It should also be noted that the Fulton factor is correlated with the body fat content (Schloesser and Fabrizio 2017), which can vary between individuals and species, and that metal accumulation can be positively or Table 1 Results of the significant linear models with log 10 -transformed metal concentration as response variable and length (CTL, cephalothorax length for crayfish; TL, total length for fish) and Fulton factor (K) as predictors Asterisks refer to the significance level: p < 0.05 (*); p < 0.01 (**); p < 0.001 (***) negatively related to the lipid content, depending on the metal (Sassd 2011;Charette et al 2021). Interspecific (as well as intraspecific, among tissues) differences in metal accumulation compared with the environmental concentrations and biomagnification processes in the Arno River community were disentangled in a recent study by Balzani et al (2021).…”

Metal pollution is one of the main environmental threats in freshwater ecosystems. Aquatic animals can accumulate these substances and transfer them across the food web, posing risks for both predators and humans. Accumulation patterns strongly vary depending on the location, species, and size (which in fish and crayfish is related to age) of individuals. Moreover, high metal concentrations can negatively affect animals’ health. To assess the intraspecific relationship between metal accumulation and size and health (proxied by the body condition) of individuals, the concentration of 14 metals (Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn) was analyzed in six alien species from the highly anthropogenically altered Arno River (Central Italy): five fish (Alburnus alburnus, Pseudorasbora parva, Lepomis gibbosus, Ictalurus punctatus, and Silurus glanis) and one crayfish (Procambarus clarkii). We found that in P. clarkii, Cu was negatively related to size, as well as Al in L. gibbosus and Mg for adult I. punctatus. Positive size-dependent relationships were found for Hg in L. gibbosus, Fe in S. glanis, and Cr in juvenile I. punctatus. Only Co and Mg in S. glanis were found to negatively correlate with individual health. Since metal concentrations in animal tissue depend on trade-offs between uptake and excretion, the few significant results suggest different types of trade-offs across different species and age classes. However, only predatory fish species (L. gibbosus, I. punctatus, and S. glanis) presented significant relationships, suggesting that feeding habits are one of the primary drivers of metal accumulation.

“…This proportion is currently known from one study and limited in a number of specimens (n = 3) examined and was as 0.40 to 0.90% (Fischer et al 1995 ). However, as a constituent associated with proteins (Charette et al 2021 ), MeHg and Se in selenoproteins may not be lost to the same extent as inorganic Hg/Se by aqueous processing such as boiling. These considerations are likely to apply to all edible fungal species.…”

Both mercury (Hg) and selenium (Se) occur in many mushroom species, but the morphological distribution of these elements during different developmental stages of the fruiting bodies is not known. Although Amanita muscaria can be consumed after suitable processing, they are often ignored by mushroom foragers, leaving an abundance for investigative study. Multiple specimens in each of six developmental stages (button to fully mature) were collected in excellent condition during a single morning from the same forested location and composited. With an average of 30 specimens per composite, and low temporal, spatial, and measurement uncertainty, the data are likely to be representative of the typical concentrations of Hg and Se for each developmental stage. Hg (range 0.58–0.74 mg kg-1 dry weight cap; 0.33 to 0.44 mg kg-1 dw stipe) and Se (range 8.3–11 mg kg-1 dw cap; 2.2 to 4.3 mg kg-1 dw stipe) levels were observed to vary during the developmental stages, and the variability may relate to the demands in growth. In common with some other species, the lower stipe concentrations may be consistent with nutrient/contant transport and support functions. Both Hg and Se levels were lowest during periods of maximum sporocarp growth. Selenium occurs at almost an order of magnitude greater levels than Hg. Due to its role in mitigating the effects of Hg toxicity, this property is of significance to those who consume the species either for nutritional, medicinal, or recreational purposes, although the losses of both these elements during processing are not known.

“…Non-lethal skin and muscle samples can provide a variety of metrics that are useful in spatial ecology projects. Historically, tissues derived from muscle, scale, and skin biopsies have been used in the quantification of accumulated environmental toxicants ( Aerts et al, 2015 ; Alves et al, 2016 ; Gelsleichter et al, 2020 ; Charette et al, 2021 ; Stahl et al, 2021 ), isotopic compositions ( Cunjak et al, 2005 ; Kim et al, 2012 ; Busst et al, 2015 ; Peterson et al, 2017 ; TinHan et al, 2018 ), pathogenic microbes ( Bowers et al, 2008 ; Elliott et al, 2015 ), DNA ( John Nelson et al, 2003 ; Dominik et al, 2010 ; Smith et al, 2018 ; Thorstensen et al, 2019 ), and physiological metrics such as hormonal levels and tissue energy contents ( Fagan et al, 2012 ; Olsen et al, 2013 ; Verkamp et al, 2021 ). Koi ( Cyprinus carpio ) mucus was assayed for 11-ketotestosterone ( Schultz et al, 2005 ), while mucus was also useful for stable isotopes analysis of rainbow trout diet ( Salmo gairdneri ) ( Church et al, 2009 ), and DNA in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) ( Taslima et al, 2016 ).…”

Non-Lethal Sampling Supports Integrative Movement Research in Freshwater Fish

Freshwater ecosystems and fishes are enormous resources for human uses and biodiversity worldwide. However, anthropogenic climate change and factors such as dams and environmental contaminants threaten these freshwater systems. One way that researchers can address conservation issues in freshwater fishes is via integrative non-lethal movement research. We review different methods for studying movement, such as with acoustic telemetry. Methods for connecting movement and physiology are then reviewed, by using non-lethal tissue biopsies to assay environmental contaminants, isotope composition, protein metabolism, and gene expression. Methods for connecting movement and genetics are reviewed as well, such as by using population genetics or quantitative genetics and genome-wide association studies. We present further considerations for collecting molecular data, the ethical foundations of non-lethal sampling, integrative approaches to research, and management decisions. Ultimately, we argue that non-lethal sampling is effective for conducting integrative, movement-oriented research in freshwater fishes. This research has the potential for addressing critical issues in freshwater systems in the future.
