“…The common clustering of Ca–Mg–Sr in HACA may reflect the frequent substitution of these limestone elements in geochemical and physiological processes in an organism (MacMillan et al 2002 ). They may be absorbed by a female from bones of fish which contain high levels of limestone elements (Radwan et al 1990 ; Sharif et al 1993 ; Torz and Nedzarek 2013 ). The eggshell serves as the major source of both Ca and Mg for the developing embryo (Richards and Packard 1996 ; Orlowski et al 2014 , 2016 ).…”

We compared the concentrations of 17 heavy metals and essential elements in post-hatching eggshells of two waterbirds, the obligate piscivorous great cormorant Phalacrocorax carbo (GCM) and the more omnivorous grey heron Ardea cinerea (GHR), breeding sympatrically in eight mixed colonies in Poland. We found significant inter-species and inter-colony differences in the levels of most of the elements. GHR had significantly higher concentrations of Al, which can be explained by its very low stomach pH: an acidic environment favours the release of Al compounds. Differences in Mn, Ni, Cu, Se and Hg concentrations can be attributed to the various contributions of fish and other aquatic organisms to the diet, and to the exploration of different habitats (GCM exclusively aquatic, GHR a wider range) and microhabitats (GCM, in contrast to wading GHR, dive for food, exploring the whole depth range of water bodies), differently exposed to contamination by those elements from sediments. Inter-colony differences were related to the level of industrialisation. We recorded higher levels of some elements in the eggshells (Fe, Mn in both species and Cr, Ni and Zn in GCM) collected in industrialised areas, which may be associated with the negative environmental impact of industrial areas.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s11356-018-3765-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Earlier study showed that Fe, Cu and Zn levels in sweet water fishes ranged from 31. 80 -296.02, 1.48 -23.30, 33.01 -286.45 in mg/kg (d.w.b), respectively (Sharif et al 1993). According to another study, in marine fish, levels of Fe, Cu and Zn were found to vary from 60.55 -450, 1.48 -23.3 and 0.65 -58.1 in mg/kg respectively (Khan et al 1987).…”

“…However, the degree of such concentration and their consequent damages may depend on different external and internal factors i.e., the type of body parts, nature of metal, concentration, medium, duration of exposure, etc. Only a very few published reports on the toxic effects of heavy metals on fishes in Bangladesh are available ( Sharif et al 1993, Holsbeek et al 1996, Begum and Rakshit 1998, 2000, Begum et al 2001). …”

Effect of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr) and mercury (Hg) on liver histology of Clarias batrachus L. was studied after 28 days of exposure to sub lethal concentrations in the said metals under laboratory condition. The common changes in the liver were disruption of hepatic cords, abnormal shape of hepatocytes, pyknotic nuclei, and congestion of blood vessels and sinusoids. Cadmium induced frequent vacuolation in hepatocytes, loss of cell boundary, clumping of nuclei. Atrophied hepatocytes with variegated cytoplasm and necrosed nuclei were specific to Cr stress, and prominent intercellular spaces around most of the hypertrophied hepatocytes appeared in the liver under Hg stress.
