Aquatic organisms are exposed to a complete mix of elements. The accumulation of elements in organisms often reflects the amount of these elements in the surrounding environment, especially in the water environment, where the elements are easily spread [1, 2]. In studies where the concentration of metals in different lakes increased in gradient, the accumulation of metals increased in the juvenile perch transplanted up the gradient and the opposite down the gradient [3]. The accumulation of elements in fish depends on environmental factors such as temperature, pH, dissolve organic matter, and salinity [4-6]. These physicochemical parameters often change with the season, and thus season affects the bioavailability and accumulation of elements in fish [1]. Biological factors such as age, size, and weight of individuals, sex, reproduction cycle, feeding, and habitat use also play an important role in the accumulation of elements [2, 7-10]. The accumulation and the beneficial or toxic effects of elements depend on element properties. In general, elements are categorized into biologically essential and non-essential. Biogenic elements are integral components to support the function of an organism [11]. However, the concentration and accumulation of these elements account for the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
