“…In addition, we detected Pb in the range of 0.023-0.029 µg g-1 (Table 1), while the Pb concentration in fish from VIS was below the detection limit in the study by Kostić et al [37]. The Zn concentration in this study has similar mean values to those of Subotić et al [36]. Nickel enrichment in this study is similar to that measured in sichel, but much higher than that in ruffe [35].…”

“…Our results differ from previous analyses of metal concentrations in fish muscles at the same sampling sites as in this study [35˗37]. As for the VRO site, the Cr concentrations in fish muscles determined in this study are consistent with the results of Subotić et al [35,36] (Table 1). The same authors reported much higher concentrations of As, Cu, and Hg in the muscle of common nase (Chondrostoma nasus), Vimba bream (Vimba vimba), sichel (Pelecus cultratus), and ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernua) compared to our results.…”

In this study, the concentrations of metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn) were deter-mined in two freshwater fish species. The same fish were also used to determine the content of fatty acids (FA), including saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). We investigated the species-specific relationship between bioaccumulation of metals and the content of FA. Roach and white bream were caught at two different sites in the Serbian part of the Danube. The measured metal concentrations were below the standard concentrations recommended in the guidelines of the EU and the Republic of Ser-bia. Among the non-essential metals, Ni had the highest concentration, ranging from 0.158 to 0.591 µg g-1. The muscle of the two fish species contained high concentrations of SFA, ranging from 36.31 to 51.79%, and MUFA, ranging from 33.56 to 43.70%. Polyunsaturated fatty acids were represented with the lowest percentage (5.32 - 27.18). Four of the nine metals studied (As, Hg, Ni and Pb) in one fish species and five of the nine metals studied (A, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in the other fish species showed correlations with fatty acid content. These results help to reveal potential biomarkers of metal stress in lipid composition.

“…Fish can take up trace elements by several routes, e.g., through the skin and gills or the digestive system 20,21 . Therefore, trace element accumulation in fish depends on several factors, such as habitat preference and the diet of different species 22 . For example, several studies suggest that species with benthic habitat preferences and piscivorous or benthivorous diets may accumulate higher concentrations of trace elements [22][23][24] , while others found that pelagic and omnivorous fish accumulate more trace elements 25 .…”

“…At the beginning of their developmental stages, larvae and early juveniles of these species primarily rely on zooplankton as their main food source, and they typically inhabit shallow shoreline habitats 40 . However, after they advance through early development, significant ontogenetic shifts in both feeding behavior and habitat preference become apparent [41][42][43][44] , i.e., older juveniles gradually shift towards consuming species-specific prey items, adopting similar habitat preferences to adults several months after hatching [45][46][47] .These three cyprinid species are popular game fish and are commercially exploited in several European countries 22,40,48 . Furthermore, they are considered good bioindicators of the health of aquatic ecosystems 22,35,[49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60] .…”

Juveniles of three cyprinids with various diets and habitat preferences were collected from the Szamos River (Hungary) during a period of pollution in November 2013: the herbivorous, benthic nase (Chondrostoma nasus), the benthivorous, benthic barbel (Barbus barbus), and the omnivorous, pelagic chub (Squalius cephalus). Our study aimed to assess the accumulation of these elements across species with varying diets and habitat preferences, as well as their potential role in biomonitoring efforts. The Ca, K, Mg, Na, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Sr, and Zn concentration was analyzed in muscle, gills, and liver using MP-AES. The muscle and gill concentrations of Cr, Cu, Fe, and Zn increased with trophic level. At the same time, several differences were found among the trace element patterns related to habitat preferences. The trace elements, including Cd, Pb, and Zn, which exceeded threshold concentrations in the water, exhibited higher accumulations mainly in the muscle and gills of the pelagic chub. Furthermore, the elevated concentrations of trace elements in sediments (Cr, Cu, Mn) demonstrated higher accumulation in the benthic nase and barbel. Our findings show habitat preference as a key factor in juvenile bioindicator capability, advocating for the simultaneous use of pelagic and benthic juveniles to assess water and sediment pollution status.
