“…The results suggest that in the sampling season considered in this study, metals concentrated in fish tissues irrespective of species or lipid content. This is in contrast to reports by other authors who highlighted a relation between metal concentration and fish type [24]. The overall mean concentrations of trace metals are considered low; indeed, the highest value was attributable to Hg in HFF (0.227 mg/kg).…”

“…The total PCB concentration in HFF was approximately 15 times higher than that in other fishes, confirming the higher capacity of eel to accumulate PCB congeners. This result is consistent with those reported by other researchers, who found higher levels of PCBs in eel muscle with respect to other species, attributable mainly to the high level of tissue fat peculiar to this species [24]. For this reason, eel is considered a bioindicator of PCB environmental pollution [37].…”

“…According to the results of the questionnaire distributed to the target population, freshwater fish accounted for a modest proportion of the consumers' diets (33 g/d); however, as reported in the literature, it may represent one of the main sources of human exposure to EPA and DHA and, eventually, environmental contaminants [2,24]. The recommended daily intake of EPA + DHA of 250 mg for a healthy adult was achieved with the consumption declared by the consumers of HFF and MFF, which contributed to the RDI for 112% and 109%, while LFF contributed for 62%, and LF for 22%.…”

The aim of our study was to describe the balance between health benefits and risks associated with the consumption of crawfish and nine fish species from lake Trasimeno. We thus determined both fatty acid profiles (particularly, eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids) and chemical pollutants (some polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, and heavy metals) in fish muscle tissues. The contents of all fatty acids varied significantly among species. Sand smelt, carp, and tench, which have a high fat content, contained considerable amounts of EPA and DHA; lean fish, like perch, pike, and largemouth bass, which have relatively high percentages of the predominant n-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, showed lower amounts of these fatty acids because of their low lipid contents. Some species contributed strongly to the Dietary Reference Intake (RDI) of EPA and DHA. The contribution of lean fish to the RDI of EPA and DHA was more limited. The concentrations of all contaminants in fish muscle tissues were lower than the regulatory limits, demonstrating the safety of the environmental conditions of the lake. The contribution to health-based reference values and benefit–risk quotients indicated that the health benefits of consumption of fish from lake Trasimeno outweigh the potential risks.

Among brominated flame retardants (BFRs), polybrominateddiphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) were the most widely used in past decades. BFRs not being chemically bonded to polymers means they can easily leach from the products into the environment and bioaccumulate. Humans are exposed to flame retardants mainly through food consumption, especially fish and fish products. In the present study, the occurrence of PBDEs and HBCDs in freshwater fishes and crayfish from Lake Trasimeno (Umbria region, central Italy) was assessed according to monitoring plans recommended by European competent authorities. The dietary exposure of the central Italian population to such molecules was calculated, and the risk characterization and the benefit–risk evaluation were also assessed. A total of 90 samples were analyzed by means of gas and liquid chromatography associated with triple quadrupole mass spectroscopy. A total of 51% of samples were found positive for at least one of the congeners; the most frequently found molecule was BDE-47. The data on dietary exposure ranged from 0.138 to 1.113 pg/kg body weight/day for ∑PBDE and from 0.805 to 0.868 pg/kg body weight/day for ∑HBCD. The data show no health risks for the central Italian population consuming freshwater fish products from Lake Trasimeno in relation to exposure to PBDE and HBCD.
