“…Since the discovery of cadmium in 1817 ( National Center for Biotechnology Information, 2020 ), this element and its compounds has gained increasing industrial utility. However, despite its importance in industrial applications, cadmium has been identified as one among 126 priority pollutants ( US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 2014 ), a Class I carcinogen ( International Agency for Research on Cancer, 2012 ) and is considered a pollutant of the environment and toxicant for health ( Nordic Council of Ministers, 2003 ; Faroon et al, 2012 ). The use of cadmium has been limited by international legislation.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of chronic cadmium exposure in modulating cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the heart of rats. Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 15 ppm CdCl2 in drinking water for 10 weeks followed by withdrawal of cadmium treatment for 4 weeks. Following the completion of the treatment, gene expression of inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and NF-κB), protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and their respective inhibitors- TIMP-1 and TIMP-2, and gelatinolytic activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were determined. At the protein level, cadmium incites a differential effect on the expression and activity of gelatinases and their endogenous inhibitors in an exposure-dependent manner. Results also show that the administered cadmium dose elicits an inflammatory response until week 10 that slightly diminishes after 4 weeks. This study provides evidence of cadmium-induced imbalance in the MMP-TIMP system in the cardiac tissue. This imbalance may be mediated by cadmium-induced inflammation that could contribute to various cardiovascular pathologies.

“…Worldwide, there is considerable interest in developing fishery management that balances social, economic, and ecological objectives for multispecies, multifleet fisheries (e.g. Sainsbury, 2000;Nordic Council of Ministers et al, 2013;Mo ¨llmann et al, 2014;Voss et al, 2014a, b;Trenkel et al, 2015). Our results evaluate the trade-offs between management simplicity, yield, and biomass status for a 10 species, 3 fleet ecosystem loosely based on Georges Bank in the USA.…”

We explored alternative status determination criteria and reference points that could simplify fisheries management using a simulated multispecies/ecosystem-based operational management procedure. There are four components to the procedure: (i) limit total removals from the ecosystem; (ii) allocate the total removals limit among aggregate species groups; (iii) maintain individual species above minimum stock size thresholds; and (iv) optimize the species mix (within aggregates) based on bio-economic portfolio analysis. In this procedure, “overfishing” criteria are applied only to aggregates of species at the ecosystem and group level, but “overfished” criteria apply at the species/stock level. Previous work using multispecies production models identified conditions where conservation and yield objectives could be balanced: aggregations of species with similar life histories, species interactions, and responses to environmental forcing supported the highest yields while minimizing risks that individual stocks dropped below biomass thresholds. Here, we use a more complex length structured multispecies, multifleet simulation model to explore management procedure steps (i)–(iii). Different species aggregation rules were applied (single species, functional groups, and full system), and yield curves were constructed for each aggregation level by sequentially increasing effort in each of the fleets (alone and simultaneously), while recruitment for each species varied stochastically around a function based on spawning stock biomass. The performance of individual species and each aggregate type was then compared with respect to yield, biomass, and economic revenue objectives under changing environmental conditions. Our results evaluate the trade-offs between these objectives for the 10 species in the simulated system. Overall we found that there are aggregate catch limits that can both maximize yield and revenue while conserving biomass. However, community composition and revenue trade-off over a range of fishing effort. We consider this a starting point for further development with scientists, managers, fishermen, and other stakeholders in the region.
