“…This is important because muscle constitute the greatest mass of the shrimp that is consumed. These results are similar to the studies of the other researchers (Darmono and Denton 1990;Chou et al 2002;Cogun et al 2005;Pourang et al 2005).…”

“…In comparison of metals in shrimps and crabs with other studies, the concentrations of Cr, Cu, Cd, Fe and Zn in muscle tissues of C. longicollis and P. semisulcatus were higher than in most shrimps and crabs belonging the other areas studied previously, such as Callinectes sapidus, Penaeus stiferus, Xiphopenaeus kroyeri, Macrophthalmus depressus, Cancer irroratus (BuOlayan and Subrahmanyam 1998; Mantelatto et al 1999;Vazquez et al 2001;Chou et al 2002;Pourang et al 2005;Türkmen et al 2006).…”

“…Marine organisms are also able to take up metals that are adsorbed onto inorganic particles and absorbed onto organic matter as well from solution (Blackmore et al 1998). Crabs and shrimps to concentrate heavy metal in their tissues is well known (Sivadason and Nambisan 1988;Mantelatto et al 1999;Vazquez et al 2001;Chou et al 2002;Pourang et al 2005;Türkmen et al 2006).…”

Copper, chromium cadmium, iron and zinc concentrations were determined in marine crab Charybdis longicollis and marine shrimp Penaeus semisulcatus in order to assess the impact of industrial activities and the sinking of M/V Ulla ship. Liver, gill and muscle sample solutions prepared analyzed using the atomic absorption spectrophotometry technique. The order of the metal concentrations found in muscle of crab was: Cu>Cr>Fe>Zn>Cd, while in muscle of shrimp the order was different: Cr>Cu>Zn>Fe>Cd. The highest Cu, Cr, Cd, Fe and Zn concentrations were found in the liver, and this was followed by the gill and muscle in both species. The levels of all metals in a given tissue were always higher in C. longicollis than in P. semisulcatus. Metals in both species show seasonal variations. In both species the highest concentrations were detected for all metals in summer.

“…Furthermore, a higher level of cadmium was observed in the crab Paralithodes camtschaticus from the northeastern Bering Sea, Arctic Alaska by Jewett and Naidu (2000); in contrast, This study copper and lead levels were higher in N. granulata, while zinc level was similar. In addition, higher values of cadmium and lower levels of copper were reported in the crab Cancer irroratus from the Bay of Fundy, Atlantic Canada (Chou et al 2002). Results as obtained within the present study suggested a possible major anthropogenic copper impact in the coastal area of Samborombón Bay, as it was reported for Asiatic clams (Corbicula f luminea) from La Plata River which presented the highest values among others clams within the world and quite similar values to those reported for heavily polluted sites (Bilos et al 1998).…”

This paper presents the concentrations of total copper, lead, cadmium, and zinc in hepatopancreas of the burrowing crab Neohelice granulata from the Samborombón Bay (La Plata River estuary) and the Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon, Argentina. The highest accumulation of lead was observed in Mar Chiquita samples, whereas copper, zinc, and cadmium concentrations were higher in those from Samborombón Bay. Marked temporal and geographic availability differences were observed, while sexual differences only were observed for zinc. Finally, the validity of using this species as bioindicator of heavy-metal pollution within the assessed estuarine ecosystems is discussed.

RESUMOEste estudo objetivou avaliar as concentrações de As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb e Zn no camarão-rosa Farfantepenaeus paulensis associadas às flutuações nas condições hidrológicas estuarinas, no período de 2006 à 2010. Os organismos foram coletados anualmente e as concentrações de metais foram determinadas no organismo inteiro e na fração abdominal, por espectrometria de absorção atômica.Teores mais elevados de metais foram encontrados no camarão analisado por inteiro quando comparado à fração abdominal. As concentrações de As e Pb analisadas nas duas formas, e de Mn para o camarão inteiro, revelaram valores mais elevados em anos de maior ocorrência de pluviosidade, associada ao fenômeno El Nino. Contrariamente, as maiores concentrações de Cu no camarão inteiro foram observadas quando o estuário apresentou-se dominado por água marinha, característico de períodos de La Niña. Os demais metais analisados nos organismos não estiveram relacionados com os parâmetros ambientais contemplados neste estudo (material em suspensão e salinidade). Palavras-chave: crustáceos; elementos traço; condições hidrológicas. ABSTRACTThis study aimed to evaluate the concentrations of As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn in Farfantepenaeus paulensis associated with fluctuations in estuarine hydrological conditions from 2006 to 2010. Organisms were collected annually and metal concentrations were determined in whole shrimp and edible part by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. The whole shrimp (soft tissue and shell) under analysis generally exhibited higher concentrations of metals that the edible part. Both forms under analysis showed high levels of As and Pb in years of high occurrence of rainfall associated with El Niño effect. It was also observed for Mn in the whole shrimps analyzed. In contrast, the highest concentration of Cu in the whole shrimp were observed when the estuary was dominated by seawater, characteristic of La Niña periods. The other elements analyzed in the organisms were not related to the environmental parameters considered in this study (suspended matter and salinity). Keywords: crustaceans, trace elements, hydrologic conditions INTRODUÇÃOO camarão-rosa Farfantepenaeus paulensis é uma espécie nativa do Oceano Atlântico Ocidental, que se distribui desde Ilhéus na Bahia (Brasil -14º50'S) até o Mar del Plata (Argentina -38°35'S) (D'Incao, 1995). Seu ciclo de vida apresenta uma fase oceânica, onde ocorre a reprodução e desenvolvimento larval, e outra estuarina, caracterizada pelo desenvolvimento de juvenis até a migração para o oceano, três a quatro meses após sua entrada no estuário (Iwai, 1978;D'Incao, 1991).O estuário da Lagoa dos Patos é considerado o mais importante criadouro desta espécie no Brasil, que se constitui em um dos principais recursos pesqueiros da região Sul, devido ao seu alto valor comercial. A intensa pesca efetuada sobre os juvenis contribui para a redução do estoque adulto, que é considerado sobre-explotado desde a década de 80 e colapsado no início da década atual (D'Incao et al. 2002).
