“…et al [ 31 ] reported significantly higher concentrations of both elements at 18.5 mg/kg for manganese and 18.2 mg/kg for copper. Franco-Fuentes et al [ 38 ] reported lower concentrations of manganese at 0.1–0.4 mg/kg and higher copper content of 0.8–4.2 mg/kg. Chromium is considered to be a nonessential element in aquatic organisms that can lead to limited growth and development [ 39 ].…”

The aim of this study was to assess the risk to consumers associated with the intake of toxic metals and other trace elements in diets that include the female gonads, testicles, and muscles of four popular freshwater fish species in Poland—common bream (Abramis brama L.), European perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), common roach (Rutilus rutilus L.), and northern pike (Esox Lucius L.). The following methods were used to determine the elements: GF-AAS (Pb, Cd); CV-AAS (Hg); ICP-AES (Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Li, Cr, Al). The concentration of toxic elements (Hg, Cd, Pb) in the female gonads and testicles ranged from 0.004 ± 0.006 mg/kg (Cd) to 0.028 ± 0.018 mg/kg (Pb). Of the other elements, the lowest content was noted for Cr (0.122 ± 0.182 mg/kg) and the highest for Al (46.98 ± 31.89 mg/kg). The study confirmed that female gonads and testicles are a valuable source of essential trace elements (Zn, Fe). Considering the content of toxic elements, the raw material of female gonads and testicles posed no health risks (THQ < 1).

“…The study of metal levels in sediments is not as extensive as that of metal levels in water. Metal levels in water are positively correlated with metal levels in sediments (Franco-fuentes et al, 2021), so if it follows a pattern of heavy metal study trends in water that are high in hotspot areas due to industrial and mining, the study should be concentrated several locations.…”

“…Heavy metals are susceptible to being trapped by suspended particulate matter when they enter the water column then absorbed and deposited in the sediments (Zhang et al, 2021, Zhai et al, 2020. The ability of sediment to accumulate trace metal is well known, so they act the role as a carrier to an aquatic organism (Belabed et al, 2017;Franco-Fuentes et al, 2021, Ouali et al, 2018. Sediment-bounded heavy metals may be released again if there is a change of environment (Zhang et al, 2018;.…”

The ocean is a source of mega-biodiversity that is supposed to perform optimally for current and future generations. The health of the ocean must be evaluated by measuring heavy metals in sediment because they can be accumulated and stored in long term. This metal can be released and absorbed by an organism, and affect the ecological risk and human health. The purpose of this article is to share viewpoints and those in a comparative study in terms of the metal database of both countries, the UK and Indonesia. The methodology used in this paper is critical review and analysis to compare a success story about compiling metal data into a national database in the United Kingdom (UK). Indonesia already has an open public access database issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. The further step is to strengthen collaboration between research institutes, universities, and government to assign a Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) to collect, analyze and report the data to a national depository. This database will be worthwhile to describe the pollution status in Indonesia and basic data for best practice decisions.

“…Although essential metals (Mn, Zn, Fe and Cu) have valuable roles in biological processes of marine organisms, they are required at low concentrations and occur naturally in the marine environment (Rubal et al 2014). The elevated concentrations of essential metals, coupled with the anthropogenic release of toxic non-essential metals (Hg, As, Cr, Cd and Pb amongst others) into the marine environment pose a threat to the proper functioning of marine ecosystems (Zhang et al 2020;Franco-Fuentes et al 2021) and this may also be the case in Simon's Town. The general trend observed in this study was the decrease in metal concentrations with increased distance to site 1 (see Co, Cu, Zn, Sr, Mo, Cd, Sn and Ba).…”

Maintenance of maritime vessels includes the removal of paint from hulls that ultimately ends up the aquatic environment. Coastal maritime vessel maintenance is a source of metals, antifouling paint particles (APPs) and microplastics (MPs) that ends up in the coastal environment. Simon’s Town is a small urban town in False Bay, Cape Town, South Africa, where maritime activities take place (there is a naval harbour, marina and boat maintenance facility). The aim of this study was to measure metals, APPs and MPs in Simon’s Town, to assess the impact of maritime activities and a storm water pipe in a protected marina. Sediment samples were collected from 6 sites during winter 2018. Sediment and extracted APPs were analysed for metal content and MPs characterised based on type (visual and polymer), colour and size. Metal and MP fragment concentrations were highest at the slipway of a boatyard / maintenance facility, decreasing with increased distance from the slipway. MP filaments were highest close to the storm water outfall pipe. Our results suggest that boating maintenance facilities are potential sources metals and MP APP fragments, with storm water pipes potential sources of MP filaments. Various indices applied to assessed the potential impacts of metals and MPs, suggests that these contaminants have the potential to severely adversely impact the intertidal ecosystem investigated.
