“…Wright (1980) demonstrated using radiolabelling techniques that most cadmium uptake in amphipods may be internal rather than adsorption to or storage at the body surface. On the other hand, Nuñes-Nogueira and Rainbow (2005b) found that in P. indicus newly accumulated zinc was distributed to all organs but with the highest proportions being deposited in the exoskeleton. In addition, Wang and Fisher (1998) noted that compared to other metals, including cadmium, Zn binds in considerable quantities to the exoskeleton from the dissolved phase with Mouneyrac et al (2002) calculating the adsorbed percentage onto Orchestia gammarellus exoskeleton as being Freshwater Biol.…”

1-Centre for Environmental and Marine Studies (CESAM) and Department of Biology, 3University of Aveiro, Portugal 4 2-Environmental Group, Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, United Kingdom 5Heavy metals accumulated by aquatic crustaceans in environmental studies are 7 normally investigated using the whole body burden, with little regard paid to uptake in 8 different tissues, to potential gender of life stage differences, or to the influence of 9 nutrition on the test organism. This is likely to give erroneous conclusions for a dose-10 response relationship within the toxicity test and potentially lead to wrong conclusions 11 for the ecological risks of metals where species may have higher sensitivities with 12 gender and life stage than indicated or that functionally metals may be sequestered 13 into parts of the body so are not bioavailable. This could lead to under-estimation or 14 over-estimation of the toxicity of metals, respectively, inaccuracy of metal budget 15 calculations and evaluation of trophic transfers of metals. This study evaluated the 16 influences of life stage, gender, and a priori nutritional state in the uptake of the 17 metals Zinc (an essential micro-nutrient; Zn) and Cadmium (a non-essential element; 18 Cd) in the amphipod Echinogammarus marinus. The study showed that life stage, and 19 nutritional stage did significantly influence the uptake and bioaccumulation for both 20 * Corresponding Author.

In 21 addition, it was concluded that there was a significant uptake and accumulation of 22 both metals within the exoskeleton of the amphipods, which though adding to the full 23 body burden would add little to toxicity through lack of bioavailability. These results 24showed that care should be taken when interpreting results from tests normally 25 preformed on such test organisms. 26 27

“…In M. rosenbergii , Zn was present in large quantities in the hepatic materials (35.7–141 μg/g) and muscle (49.9–85.8 μg/g). Zinc is an essential element required for many biological processes and is usually stored in phosphorus‐rich granules in the R cells of the hepatopancreas 33 . There is evidence that the ability to regulate internal concentrations of Zn is a feature of decapod crustaceans.…”

“…Zinc is an essential element required for many biological processes and is usually stored in phosphorus-rich granules in the R cells of the hepatopancreas. 33 There is evidence that the ability to regulate internal concentrations of Zn is a feature of decapod crustaceans. For example, the caridean decapod Palaemon elegans is able to regulate total internal concentrations to approximately 80 mg Zn/g dry wt up to a threshold aqueous exposure concentration (between 177 and 316.2 mg Zn/L), after which regulation breakdown and net accumulation begins.…”

Bioaccumulation and distribution of trace elements in tissues of giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) from South Vietnam

Accumulation profiles of 22 trace elements in abdominal muscle, abdominal exoskeleton and the hepatopancreas of the giant river prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii were analyzed. The giant river prawn is an indigenous freshwater species from South Vietnam, and is cultured commercially and fished in the wild. Samples were collected from Ho Chi Minh City and the surrounding area (SKEZ, South Key Economic Zone), and from the Mekong River Delta between 2003 and 2005.Highest accumulations of essential (Cu, Se and Mo) and toxic (As, Ag, Cd and Hg) elements were observed in hepatopancreatic tissue, except for Mn, Sr, Sn, Ba and V in the exoskeleton and Rb and Cs in muscle tissue. Spatial differences showed concentrations of Cs and Pb in muscle and Sr in exoskeletons from the SKEZ were higher than those from the Mekong River Delta. The opposite trend was observed for Cr, Se and Sb in muscle, Mo, Sb and Tl in exoskeleton, and Se, Hg, Mo, Cd, Sb, Tl and Bi in the hepatopancreas. These differences in trace element concentrations in prawns likely reflect differences in industrialization and human activities between the two regions of South Vietnam.

This study analyzed the changes in metallothionein-like proteins (MTLPs) and Energy Reserves (ERs) in hepatopancreas and abdominal muscle of the white prawn Penaeus vannamei. Realistic metal concentration exposure for 10 days to Ni and Pb in solution revealed that juvenile prawns partially induce MTLP in hepatopancreas after Pb exposure. Ni was distributed equally between soluble and insoluble fractions, while Pb was present only in the insoluble fraction, suggesting different detoxification strategy. No changes in lipids and glycogen concentration were detected under these experimental conditions in both tissues analyzed. MTLP could not be considered as a suitable indicator for lead exposure in hepatopancreas.
