“…This apparently applicable suggestion, however, leaves some doubts regarding the health aspect of the resource: Callinectes sapidus individuals do, in fact, live in both fresh [51] and brackish water and sea water and could therefore be subject to uncontrolled contamination by pollutants, particularly in estuaries and river mouths where industrial and domestic discharges are very likely to converge and where the species abounds. The accumulation of contaminants and microplastics in Atlantic blue crab tissues and the risks of their consumption by humans are reported in several studies from different parts of the world [52][53][54][55][56][57], although contamination levels vary depending on the location. This is why it is preferable not to give instructions in this regard to the many citizens who ask what to do in case of sighting or catching an Atlantic blue crab.…”

The Atlantic blue crab Callinectes sapidus, which is native to the western Atlantic coast and listed among the 100 most invasive alien species in the Mediterranean Sea, is attracting a great deal of interest because of its rapid colonisation of new areas, the significant increase in its population, and the impacts it may have on ecosystems and ecosystem services. Outside its natural distribution range, the species was first found on European Atlantic coasts in the early 1900s and was introduced into the Mediterranean Sea a few decades later, probably through ballast water. Currently, it is found in almost the entire Mediterranean Basin and is also expanding into the Black Sea and along the north African and Iberian Atlantic coasts. Based on a systematic review of C. sapidus occurrences, this study describes its distribution, aggregation patterns, and spatial structure in Northwest Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, and adjacent waters through a series of ecological indicators elaborated using GIS spatial–temporal statistics. The main results highlight that the species is expanding in the Mediterranean and adjacent waters, while in northern Europe, the population remains confined in some areas. Furthermore, the main species detection methods are analysed, finding that traps and nets are the most frequently used methods, and management suggestions are provided.

“…PTEs are of considerable interest due to their toxicity and widespread use caused by fossil fuels, industrial by-products (Fakhri et al, 2021;Hu et al, 2022;Luo et al, 2022;Nematollahi et al, 2021;Xiao et al, 2010), atmospheric deposits (Malakootian et al, 2021), agricultural lands, pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fertilizers applications, waste incinerators, and sewage sludge (Rezaei et al, 2020). Moreover, several studies identified them in human breast milk, suggesting the exposure of infants to these toxicants and consequent health effects during lactation (Ekeanyanwu et al, 2020;Kunter et al, 2017;Olszowski et al, 2016;Samiee et al, 2019).…”

BackgroundElevated potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in aquatic products could threaten the health of ordinary consumers. Levels of chromium (Cr), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) in Cyprinus carpio in karst plateau freshwater Lake, Caohai Lake, China were quantified using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) and evaluated using a risk method with Monte Carlo simulation.ResultLevels of Cr, As, Pb, and Hg in muscle tissue were substantially lower than those in viscera. The maximum concentration of muscle‐bound Cr, As, Pb, and Hg were less than the standard references set by Chinese Food Codex (GB 2762‐2022). The levels of Cr, As, Pb, and Hg in muscle tissue were independent of fish weight and length. The hazard index of all investigated elements in muscle tissue were less than one for adults and children, whereas the target hazard quotients of muscle‐bound PTEs for children were higher than those for adults. Results indicated that exposure duration was the largest contributor to the hazard quotient of Cr, As, and Hg, whereas the concentration of Pb in muscle was the most sensitive factor affecting the variation in hazard quotient of Pb.ConclusionThere is no risk related to the normal intake of muscle‐bound Cr, Pb, As and Hg with the consumption of Cyprinus carpio. A better definition of the probability distribution for exposure duration and PTEs concentration could result in a more accurate hazard quotient. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
