“…But moderately high concentration of Co (4.03-4.06 µg · g -1 dry weight) detected in the muscle of tilapia was correlated to moderately high concentration of the Co (70-96 µg · L -1 ) in the water of a lake (Ali and Fishar 2005). Deficiency in micronutrient concentration in the body of fish may result in increased accumulation of heavy metals notwithstanding concentration of the metal in the medium (Golovanova 2008). In the presently reported study Co could not be detected in the medium containing control and 0.05% CSD group.…”

“…A deficiency of micronutrients may result in increased accumulation of heavy metals from the environment (Golovanova 2008). Kidney, liver, gill, and gut tissues are the principal sites of heavy metal accumulation in fish (Popov et al 2002, Farkas et al 2003.…”

“…Accumulation of some metals in fish may be affected due to the occurrence of the others metals 37 and interactions among various metals may be related to their different affinities to various organs. In an aquatic environment, the impact of metals (perhaps the metal toxicity) can also be influenced by various abiotic environmental factors; e.g., water hardness, temperature and pH 13,25,38,39 . Hardness is one of the most important factors that affect fish physiology and metal toxicity 40 .…”

Background: Cadmium (Cd) is considered as one of the most toxic heavy metal. Intake of Cd by fish has serious implications. Metal pollution from multifarious sources has adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems. In aquatic systems, Cd is most readily absorbed by organisms directly from the water in its free ionic form. In many contaminated situations with heavy metals, Cd has become an important element of concern because of its bioaccumulative nature in food webs. Therefore, fish living in polluted waters tend to accumulate heavy metals in their tissues. Objectives: To assess the influence of Cd on freshwater fish, this review briefly addresses the Cd emission sources, uptake and impacts of Cd on freshwater fish and bioaccumulation nature of Cd by emphasizing the Cd accumulation affinity in freshwater fish tissues. Results and Discussion: Many studies have been carried out on Cd thresholds in diet and tissues of freshwater fish species. Affinity of freshwater fish to Cd is diverse. Generally, Cd accumulation depends on concentration, time of exposure, way of uptake, environmental conditions and intrinsic factors. Metal accumulation primarily depends on waterborne and dietary pathways. It shows a relationship of Cd level in fish tissues with the age and size of fish. Some species of fish show the highest Cd accumulation in the liver while others in kidneys and gills. Accumulation of Cd by the body muscles is always reported as comparatively low. Cd in freshwater environments results biological and environmental implications by altering reproductive and physiological behaviors of freshwater fish and abilities which ultimately affect environmental permanence and biodiversity of the ecosystem.

“…Fish health may be affected by a variety of environmental contaminants including polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDEs; Arkoosh et al, 2010;Muirhead et al, 2006), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs; Gundersen et al, 2000), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane metabolites (DDTs; Slaninova et al, 2009), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs; Johnson et al, 2008), and heavy metals (Golovanova, 2008). However, little is known about the effects that these contaminants have on the status of fish populations, especially in regards to contaminant mixtures present in the river.…”

The health of Largescale Sucker (Catostomus macrocheilus) in the lower Columbia River (USA) was evaluated using morphometric and histopathological approaches, and its association with organic contaminants accumulated in liver was evaluated in males. Fish were sampled from three sites along a contaminant gradient. In 2009, body length and mass, condition factor, gonadosomatic index, and hematocrit were measured in males and females; liver and gonad tissue were collected from males for histological analyses; and organ composites were analyzed for contaminant content in males. In 2010, additional data were collected for males and females, including external fish condition assessment, histopathologies of spleen, kidney and gill and, for males, liver contaminant content. Multivariate analysis of variance indicated that biological traits in males, but not females, differed among sites in 2009 and 2010. Discriminant function analysis indicated that site-related differences among male populations were relatively small in 2009, but in 2010, when more variables were analyzed, males differed among sites in regards to kidney, spleen, and liver histopathologies and gill parasites. Kidney tubular hyperplasia, liver and spleen macrophage aggregations, and gill parasites were generally more severe in the downstream sites compared to the reference location. The contaminant content of male livers was also generally higher downstream, and the legacy pesticide hexachlorobenzene and flame retardants BDE-47 and BDE-154 were the primary drivers for site discrimination. However, bivariate correlations between biological variables and liver contaminants retained in the discriminant models failed to reveal associations between the two variable sets. In conclusion, whereas certain non-reproductive biological traits and liver contaminant contents of male Largescale Sucker differed according to an upstream-downstream gradient in the lower Columbia River, results from this study did not reveal the specific environmental factors responsible for the differences in health status among fish populations.Published by Elsevier B.V.
