“…A study by Shaw and Handy using O. niloticus, which was exposed to dietary copper, found that copper was highly accumulated in the intestine (30‐fold), followed by liver (3‐fold), and gills (2.7‐fold) 8 . Bu‐olayan and Thomas showed increasing metal levels in the liver, followed by the gills, and then the muscle 9 . Birungi et al ., on the other hand, found that the gills showed the highest copper concentration after a 6 week period of cage testing in Murchison Bay, Uganda.…”

Freshwater fish demand in West Java is supported by cage aquaculture in reservoirs. Cirata Reservoir is one of three cascading hydropower reservoirs built along the Citarum River that receives domestic and industrial wastes. Water pollution by heavy metals, such as copper and lead, increases the health risk of humans who consume the fish. The study was aimed to evaluate the concentration of copper and lead in fish, specifically on Cyprinus carpio, that are widely cultivated in the Cirata Reservoir. Two sizes of fish were collected from five sampling points around floating-cage area. The liver of the fish was found to contain the highest copper level, followed by gills, skin, and muscle. In contrast, lead was also high in the liver, followed by skin, gills, and the muscle, but the copper concentration found in the tissues studied was much higher (31.111 +/- 17.911 mg/kg dry wt) than the lead content (0.290 +/- 0.346 mg/kg dry wt). The concentration of metals in smaller fish was always higher than than that in bigger fish. The metals content was also compared to those in fish exposed in a semistatic laboratory-scale study using Oreochromis niloticus. After 28 days exposure with 0.01 mg Cu/L, fish accumulated 21.53 mg Cu/kg dry wt, whereas for Pb exposure of 0.016 mg/L, fish accumulated up to 7 mg/kg dry wt. However, estimates of Cu and Pb intake from C. carpio consumption were still below the average daily intake (ADI) limit. This study suggested that monitoring of water quality and heavy metals in cultured fish is important in protecting human health.

“…In coastal lagoons, mullets have been used in several of these studies because, being filter and detritus feeders (Drake et al 1984;Minos et al 1995), they are exposed to the contaminants present in water and sediments (Blasco et al 1998;Fernandes et al 2007Fernandes et al , 2008. For this reason, they have been suggested as good candidates for pollution monitoring studies (Ferreira et al 2004;Bu-olayan and Thomas 2005).…”

The increasing order of the mean concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn in the tissues of Mugil cephalus of seven coastal lagoons of Sinaloa State (NW Mexico) was liver > gills > muscle, while for Pb it was gills > muscle ≥ liver. There were no differences between the mean concentrations of Cd and Pb of the three tissues determined in the samples of the seven lagoons and, although there were some significant differences, there was no indication of a latitude-related trend in the distribution of Cu and Zn: the Cu content of the muscle tended to be higher in the northern than in the southern lagoons, although in the case of the gills the highest and lowest mean values indicated an opposite trend, with the highest and lowest values in one southern and one northern lagoon. In the case of the liver, there were no differences and no indication of a regional trend. There were no differences in the mean Zn contents of muscle and gills; in the case of the liver, one of the lagoons of the central part of the state had a significantly higher value than one of the southern lagoons and all the rest had similar values. In addition, there was no clear indication of season-related differences in any of the three tissues. According to our results, the metal contents of the muscle of this species are not of concern for human health, since the allowable ingestion would be in the order of 0.9 kg/day.

“…Previous studies have reported the bioaccumulation of Pb even at very low concentrations (Hollis et al, 1999;Bu-Olayan and Thomas, 2005). The level of Pb exposure negatively correlates with the serum levels of thyroid hormones (THs) in humans (Singh et al, 2000;Lopez et al, 2000).…”
