“…This is consistent with the other reports that heavy metal concentrations are generally inversely correlated with the trophic level (Andres et al 2000, Amundsen et al 1997. S. thumbergi typically preys on insects and smaller fish, such as the Streep-rower (Brycinus lateralis) (Choongo et al 2005;Utsugi andMazingaliwa 2002, Skelton 1993), which have a lower total body load of Cu (whole animal: 4.0 mg/kg, Syakalima et al 2001).…”

Heavy metal accumulation in lake sediments, fish (Oreochromis niloticus and Serranochromis thumbergi) and crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) in Lake Itezhi-tezhi and Lake Kariba, AbstractWe measured the level of heavy metal accumulation in lake sediments, herbivorous (Oreochromis niloticus) and carnivorous (Serranochromis thumbergi) fish, and crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) from Lake Itezhi-tezhi (ITT) and Lake Kariba. We used atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) to quantify the levels of 7 heavy metals (Cr, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Ni). The sediment and the herbivorous fish O. niloticus accumulated a very high concentration of Cu in Lake ITT, most likely due to the discharge of Cu waste from a mining area 450 km upstream. The aquatic species we sampled in Lake Kariba had higher concentrations of Cr, Ni, and Pb relative to those in Lake ITT. This is most likely due to anthropogenic activities, such as the use of leaded petrol and anti-fouling agents in marine paints. Interestingly, we observed a negative correlation between the coefficient of condition .

“…In the present study, Cr contents were generally higher in the gills and ISSN 2157-6076 2015 www.macrothink.org/jbls 205 livers than in the muscles. This observation agrees with those of Amundsen et al, (1997) freshwater fish species from the border region between Norway and Russia.…”

The occurrence of metals viz., lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) in water and fish ( Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus) samples collected bi-monthly from nine stations (water) and 3 designated landing sites (fish) of Badagry creek were investigated using atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) method. With an exception of cadmium, metals concentration was lower in the water samples and higher in the fish tissues, indicating a bioaccumulation tendency of fish. Concentration levels in water were found in decreasing order of magnitude Cr > Pb > Fe > Zn > Cu > Cd. However, metals investigated except Cu (highest concentration in the liver) had highest concentrations in the fish gills, which could be related to the uptake pathway. The relatively lower wet season Cu, Pb, Cr and Cd in water could be attributed to a dilution effect of rainfall. Although, presently the mean concentrations of all the heavy metals except Pb in this study were moderate and within the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) permissible standard limit for aquatic life , the elevation of metal concentrations in this creek is inevitable under the prevailing conditions of increasing urbanization, industrialization and other forms of modernization in Badagry and environs. Nevertheless, it is imperative to ensure regular monitoring of heavy metal loading in this creek and other water bodies with a view to safeguard public health.

“…Unlike hydrophobic POPs, biomagnifications of metals in fish with the age or trophic level were not observed. These results are consistent with those reported in the literature (Allengil and Martynov 1995;Amundsen et al 1997;Papagiannis et al 2004). Previous studies revealed that both the winter monsoon (westerly jet stream) and Asian summer monsoon (easterly jet stream) transport a significant load of metal-associated aerosols (Cong et al 2007;Li et al 2008).…”

There are limited data on trace metals in the fishes of the Tibetan Plateau. In this study, 62 fish samples were collected from six alpine lakes and a river to investigate the levels and spatial variations of trace metals across the Tibetan Plateau. The concentrations of nine trace elements in fish samples were measured using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer after microwave digestion. Results showed the metal concentrations in the fish muscles had the following ranges: Cr 0.09-0.74 mg/kg, Mn 0.38-4.49 mg/kg, Ni 0.06-0.91 mg/kg, Cu 1.00-32.2 mg/kg, Zn 13.1-102.5 mg/kg, As 0.12-3.10 mg/kg, Pb 0.46-3.22 mg/kg, Ba 0.60-4.93 mg/kg, and Se 0.77-9.38 mg/kg on a dry weight basis, respectively. All the lake-averaged metal concentrations in the fish muscle were below the maximum permissible levels set by the Chinese food health criterion (GB2762-2012). The results were analyzed by multivariate statistical techniques to identify the major factors explaining the variance of metal concentrations in the alpine lakes. This work provides baseline data on metal pollution in common fish species of the Tibetan Plateau, contributing to the effective evaluation of both the environmental quality and health status of organisms in the aquatic ecosystem.
