“…The interelemental relationships may be attributable to similar physicochemical properties of the metals involved; also, it has been regarded as indicative of similar biochemical pathways or, at its simplest, as demonstrating that the binding of certain metals in animals indicates the occurrence of particular ligands (Mason and Simkiss 1983;Paez-Osuna et al 1995). According to Wright (1995), the relationship observed between some of the metal pairs may be a result of a competition or an additional effect on the metal binders and transporters at the cellular level.…”

Concentrations of cadmium, copper, and lead were determined in surficial sediments and the soft tissues (foot and gills) of swan mussel Anodonta cygnea from two sampling sites in Anzali wetland, which is an internationally important wetland registered in the Ramsar Convention. The metal contents in the mussel species from the studied region were comparable to other world areas. In most cases, the levels of the metals either fell within the range for other areas or were lower. There were significant differences between the tissues for the accumulation of Cd and Pb. Only in the case of Pb accumulation in gills significant differences between the specimens from the selected sampling sites could be observed. Age-related correlations were found in the case of Cu accumulation in foot and Cd levels in gills. No weight-dependent trend could be observed for the accumulation of the three elements. There was significant negative width-dependent relationship in the case of Cu. A significant negative correlation was also found between the maximum shell height and Cu accumulation in the gills. The only association among the elements in the selected soft tissues was found between Cd and Pb. Highly significant differences could be found between the sampling sites from the concentration of the elements in sediments point of view. The pattern of metal occurrence in the selected tissues and sediments exhibited the following descending order: Pb, Cu>Cd for gills, Cu>Pb, Cd for foot, and Cu>Pb>Cd for sediments. The mean concentrations of Cd and Pb in the sediments from the study area were higher than the global baseline values and world average shale. In the case of Cu, our results were somewhat higher than the baseline values but well below the world average shale.

Concentrations of cadmium, lead, nickel and vanadium were determined in water, surficial sediments and the muscle of three demersal fish species (Epinephelus coioides, Psettodes erumei and Solea elongate) from 15 sampling sites in the northern part of Persian Gulf. Concentrations of the elements were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer. There were no significant differences among the sampling sites in Cd and Pb levels in the sediments. The highest concentrations of Ni and V in sediments were found near the southern coast of Qeshm Iland and Bandar Lengeh. Concentrations of Cd, Pb and Ni in the sediments were notably higher than global baseline values. Nearly in all cases the element concentrations in the sediments were considerably greater than RSA (ROPME Sea Area) and the ERL (Effects Range Low) guidelines. Significant differences among the sampling sites could be found for concentrations of all the four metals in water. The mean Ni, Pb and Cd levels in the water samples were relatively higher than those in some other regions of the Persian Gulf. Except few cases, the mean concentrations of the elements in muscle of the selected fish species were markedly below the international guidelines for human consumption.

“…A similar pattern was observed in Cambarus bartoni (Bagatto and Alikhan 1987c). Marine decapods such as crabs (Charybdis longicollis), lobsters (Panulirus inflatus), and shrimp (Penaeus sp., Pleoticus muelleri, and Metapenaeus affinis) appear to have similar zinc accumulation patterns, with the hepatopancreas as the Results originally given as the concentration in a wet weight were recalculated to dry weight with the water content set at 80% for abdominal muscle and 72% for hepatopancreas (Jorhem et al 1994) b Concentration from an unpolluted (or reference) locality c Values less than the detection limit were replaced with the detection limit in calculation main storage organ (Darmono and Denton 1990;Marcovecchio 2004;Páez-Osuna et al 1995;Méndez et al 1997;Pourang and Amini 2001;Pourang et al 2004;Firat et al 2008). Most zinc was accumulated in the gills during laboratory toxicity tests in the crayfish (Lindhjem and Bennet-Chambers 2002;Martín-Díaz et al 2006).…”

Metal pollution is a global problem which represents a growing threat to the environment. Because of bioaccumulation and negative effects of heavy metals, their bioavailability needs to be monitored. Many studies showed accumulation of metals in crayfish tissues as dose-and time-dependent without significant differences in tissue concentration levels comparing males and females. Muscles and exoskeleton were considered as specific for accumulation of mercury and nickel, respectively. Cadmium, zinc, copper, lead, and chromium accumulated mainly in hepatopancreas. By analyzing these specific tissues, it is possible to deduce the bioavailability and, by presumption, the level of environmental pollution by specific metals. However, in the case of zinc and copper, their utility is limited to assessing bioavailability because rapid depuration of these metals renders them less useful for long-term environmental monitoring programs. The literature reporting heavy metal impacts on freshwater crayfish, with reference to accumulation levels, is reviewed and summarized with respect to their suitability as bioindicators. Summarized published data from unpolluted or control localities can be used as referential values in crayfish, and consequently help with evaluation of monitored sites.
