“…Considering that crustaceans have an average water content of about 80% (Vinogradov 2018 ), the mean BaP concentration expressed on wet weight became 40 ng g -1 ww, and therefore it was much higher than the mean values of BaP found in the present study. Zhang et al ( 2020 ), in a study on PAH bioaccumulation in marine organisms from South Yellow Sea in China, determined in crab samples concentrations (sum of 16 PAHs) that ranged from 119.11 to 223.34 ng g -1 dw resulting higher than our results.…”

This study assesses the PAH and heavy metal levels in muscle of warty crabs (Eriphia verrucosa), from the northern coast of the Campania region improving the data on toxic contaminants in this crustacean. The results showed a minimal PAH contamination; the mean concentrations were as follows: 0.2, 1.6 and 1.7 μg kg-1 wet weight (ww) for BaP, PAH4 and PAH6, respectively. Regarding the levels of the two PAHs not included in the European regulations, the BkF mean concentration was 0.1 μg kg-1 ww, while DahA was detected only in 10.7% of samples. Pb and Cr were also detected at low levels with mean values of 0.068 and 0.468 mg kg-1 ww, respectively; instead, high As levels, with a mean value of 5.021 mg kg-1 ww, were found. Considering the EWIs and the ILCRs calculated in this study, the PAH, Pb and Cr contamination levels found in the edible part of the crabs resulted safe for human consumption. Contrariwise, the ILCR calculated for the As exceeded the acceptable level of cancer risk, although the calculation did not refer to the inorganic form which is the only one recognized as carcinogenic. Hence, this study shows that warty crabs can accumulate environmental contaminants in their muscle tissue representing an important route of exposure to these toxics for the local population that regularly consumes them. This finding highlights the importance of monitoring the presence of these pollutants in crabs and in general in all fish and seafood in order to ensure food safety for consumers.

“…The North Zhejiang fishing ground is located in the middle section of the southeast coast of China and belongs to a subtropical monsoon climate. China's offshore fishing ground is one of the sea areas most frequently affected by typhoons in summer and autumn (Li, Wang, and Sun, 2016; Wu et al ., 2014); Zhoushan and Yuwai are fishing grounds that are often affected by typhoons (Zheng et al ., 2016).…”

Zhang, S.; Tang, F.; Fan, W.; Yang, S.; Zhu, W.; Zhang, H., and Cui, X., 2023. Analysis of hauling net hours for Gazami crab (Portunus trituberculatus) gillnets based on the Beidou vessel monitoring system (BDVMS). Journal of Coastal Research, 39(4), 663–674. Charlotte (North Carolina), ISSN 0749-0208.Gillnets are among the most widely used fishing gear in the world, and there are nearly 97 thousand gillnetters in China's offshore. With the decline of resource fisheries, the fishing quota has remained a topic of concern for the world's fishing nations. At the beginning of 2017, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China implemented the total management of marine fishery resources and began to launch the quota fishing experiment. The vessel monitoring system (VMS) provides a new data source for fisheries research. It is a new attempt to estimate fishing yield from VMS. Refined fishing intensity can be obtained through calculation of hauling time or net length. In China, the shipboard Beidou satellite navigation system terminal was installed on well-equipped fishing vessels. It sends vessel identification and location information at three minute intervals and with 10 m spatial resolution. In this paper, the speed threshold was used to consider the hauling duration of the net. The hauling nets' hours were calculated to estimate the catch rate with the hours. The speed thresholds of the 56 vessels were from 1.7 to 2.4 m/s. The hauling duration in hour of the vessels were distributed throughout eight fishing grounds in 2017. Hauling duration was divided into 0.01° × 0.01° grids based on coordinate locations. The average hauling duration of the nets was 1.7 h, and the maximum value was 41.5 h. There were approximately 514 thousand net hauling points, and the catch weight of the swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) was calculated to be approximately 4.7 million kg in 2017 based on the hauling duration data.

“…The risk of seafood consumption thought to be contaminated with PAH is of prominent importance with expanding urbanization and fossil fuel demand such as coal consumption which in its turn can contaminate marine sediment (Sun et al ., 2016). Analysis of marine sediment from Haizhou Bay and Lusi fishing ground in China demonstrated that marine organisms such as the crabs P. trituberculatus and Charybdis japonica can be moderately polluted with feeding, and habitats can act as modulators for PH bioaccumulation in marine sediment and biota (Zhang et al ., 2020). This finding indicates that although cancer risk from seafood is low there is a potential risk of PAH bioaccumulation in marine trophic levels due to consistent anthropogenic pollution.…”

Petroleum hydrocarbons (PH) toxicity and bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms have been investigated for almost 50 years. Continuous oil spillages necessitate a further understanding of the toxicological effects of PH on brachyuran crabs. Crabs can be exposed to PH through various routes such as the water column, sediment and diet. Numerous investigations have been dedicated to evaluating PH toxicity on different life stages of crab species, but the majority of them have focused on the blue crab Callinectes sapidus as it represents an edible and favourable seafood commodity for human consumption. The objective of the review is to critically assess studies related to PH toxicity on different life stages of 41 crab species representing 13 families across the world. Several physiological, biochemical and genetic endpoints of marine crabs were evaluated in addition to the sublethal effects of PH on crab metabolism, behaviour, moulting, growth and survival. A concise summary of PH deleterious effects on different taxonomic species of marine crabs is discussed and provides evidence that crabs can be used as indicator organisms of biomarker significance for marine pollution. Overall, larval stages appeared to be the most sensitive to the deleterious effects of PH compared with juveniles and adults. However, adult stages have received more research attention than other life stages, followed by larval stages, and juvenile stages are the least investigated stages with respect to PH toxicity. Finally, hepatopancreas and gills were the organs where greatest accumulation of PH was recorded.
