“…The liver, as the main detoxifying organ of fish, mainly protects the body from damage, turning heavy metals into less toxic substances, which are excreted from the body ( Figure 1 ) [ 93 ]. Usually, Cd ions in the water environment first enter the fish body through gill respiration, then accumulate in the liver through the blood circulation system, and finally redistribute in various tissues.…”

Large amounts of enriched cadmium (Cd) in the environment seriously threatens the healthy and sustainable development of the aquaculture industry and greatly restricts the development of the food processing industry. Studying the distribution and toxic effects of Cd in fish, as well as the possible toxic effects of Cd on the human body, is very significant. A large number of studies have shown that the accumulation and distribution of Cd in fish are biologically specific, cause tissue differences, and seriously damage the integrity of tissue structure and function, the antioxidant defense system, the reproductive regulation system, and the immune system. The physiological, biochemical, enzyme, molecular, and gene expression levels change with different concentrations and times of Cd exposure, and these changes are closely related to the target sites of Cd action and tissues in fish. Therefore, the toxic effects of Cd on fish occur with multiple tissues, systems, and levels.
