“…These apparent discrepancies in available literature are due to variability between fish species, tissues and metals examined (e.g. Mendil et al, 2005;Kraemer et al, 2005;Arain et al, 2008;Uysal et al, 2008;Lakshmanan et al, 2009;Mathews and Fisher, 2009;Mendil et al, 2010). Schmitt et al (2007) as well as Qiao-qiao et al (2007) reported within-site variability with regards to metal concentrations in different tissue types.…”

This is the first paper reporting on results obtained in a metal bioaccumulation study in the Vaal River system. It discusses concentrations of four non-essential elements (strontium, aluminium, lead and nickel) in water, sediment and various fish tissues. A second paper will report on concentration levels of the remaining five essential trace metals (chrome, copper, iron, manganese and zinc) studied. While heavy metals did accumulate in C. gariepinus tissues, no clear trends emerged with regard to differences between localities (Vaal Dam and Vaal River Barrage) or surveys. The highest non-essential element metal concentrations were generally recorded in gill (filaments and arches), followed by muscle, liver and lastly skin. This general trend appears to be in agreement with trends observed by other workers and reported in the literature. Variability in tissue metal concentrations in C. gariepinus within locality and seasons observed in this study is also reflected in results from available literature. This accentuates the importance of factors that influence the concentrations and bioavailability of trace metals.

“…The shellfish (particularly the shrimp) is a major exportable item of countries like India and therefore keenly related to economy of the country (Subramanian and Sukumar 1988). Hence, it is important to investigate the levels of metals in these organisms to assess whether the concentration is within the permissible level and will not pose any hazard to the consumers (Sivaperumal et al 2007;Uysal et al 2008;Palaniappan and Karthikeyan 2009).…”

Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn and Cr were estimated using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry in sediment, water, fish and shrimp collected from the Subarnarekha River. Fish species Mystus gulio, Puntius conchonius, Labeo calbasu, Labeo rohita and Labeo bata, while the shrimp species Penaeus indicus, were used for the study. The range of Cd, Cu, Pb, Ni, Zn and Cr in all the samples was found to be 0.004-0.85, 0.75-145.2, 0.03-0.41, 1.25-21.5, 12.4-109.5 and 0.22-11.36 mg kg -1 fresh, respectively. The concentrations of metals in the fish and shrimp exceed the limits of Indian and international standards for food for Cu, Ni, Cd and Zn in some samples. Higher concentrations of the metals were observed in the shrimp as compared to fish samples. The calculated daily intakes of the metals through the consumption of fish and shrimps ranged from 0.30 to 27.0 % of the corresponding tolerable limits suggested by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives. The mean target hazard quotient values for the 6 metals were below 1 for all the samples; however, the maximum was more than 1 for shrimp Cu and Cr. The results indicated that the concentration of the metals in shrimps at some locations was alarming and pose an appreciable hazard risk on human health. Potential ecological risk analysis of sediment indicated that most of the sites posed moderate ecological risk with Cd posing a considerable risk at all the sites.

“…The liver concentrations were higher than those found in Carasobarbus luteus (1.36 µg/g) and Clarias gariepinus (4.39 µg/g) [43]. [42]. However, other studies show concentrations of Zn in the gills very low in Carasobarbus luteus (0.685 µg/g) and Clarias gariepinus (0.924 µg/g) [43].…”

“…We have found that Zn concentrations in muscle, gonads, gill and in liver of deformed A. lagunae from the Tunis North Lake were significantly higher than normal atherina. Zn in muscle of Atherina lagunae exceeds the values found in Sardina pilchardus (34.58 µg/g) and Atherina hepsetus (24.34 µg/g) [40], Sarda sarda (48.7 µg/g) [41]; Liza ramada (12.28 µg/g); Shelon labrax (7.24 µg/g) Mugil cephalus (40.2 µg/g); Lithognathus mormyrus (5.83 µg/g) [42] ( Table 2). The liver concentrations were higher than those found in Carasobarbus luteus (1.36 µg/g) and Clarias gariepinus (4.39 µg/g) [43].…”

In this study, zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca) concentrations in muscles, gills, liver, gonads and skeletons of two natural populations of sand smelt Atherina lagunae (Teleostean, Atherinidae) normal and deformed, as well as bioaccumulation of these elements from the water and the sediment in the North Tunis Lake were investigated. The analysis of Ca was performed with flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The average concentrations of Ca in the different tissues analyzed show higher values in healthy atherines except in gonads where the average concentration of Ca in deformed atherines significantly exceeds that in normal atherines (p < 0.05) and the spine Ca concentrations were similar in the two populations. Zinc, cadmium, lead and phosphorus were determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The Zn concentrations of Atherina lagunae in North Tunis Lake were very high compared to other studies in other lagoons. The highest concentrations were found in deformed atherines. The differences are significant for all tissues studied (p < 0.05). The average concentration of P in different tissues analyzed shows that the highest values were detected in the normal population of Atherina lagunae. The potential rate of Cd was below the detection limit in the different organs analyzed, in water and sediment.
