“…show that the musculature is definitively tissue with the lowest contents of accumulated heavy metals, within the limits of Macedonian alimentary norms, while the highest concentrations of metal residuum were observed in the liver and the gonads. These results are in accordance with conclusions of many authors (Salanki et al, 1982, Stripp et al, 1990, Berningen and Pannanen, 1994) that the liver and kidneys are the target organs for the accumulation of metals in fish, which is explained with efficient regulatory mechanisms: elimination via faeces (Berningen and Pannanen, 1994), high metallothionein concentrations (which efficiently bind Cd and Pb thus serving as detoxificators) in the liver and kidneys, low affinity of SH muscle fibre groups to Pb and the fact that in fish, as well as in humans, only 1-6% Cd and up to 10% of other metals resorbed via bowel mucous reaches muscles (Ohti and Chtenior, 1991). Spry and Wiener (1991) even draw a conclusion that, unlike methyl-Hg, Pb and Cd do not accumulate in the skeletal musculature in significant concentrations, therefore contamination of fish with these metals presents no particular risk to human health.…”

SummaryFish body metal (Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Al, Cr, Ni, Fe, Mn, Sr, Co) contents measurements, target organ and tissue distribution pattern analysis, bioaccumulation and biomagnification studies have been undertaken on a wide range of fish species belonging to various trophic levels within fish community from the Tikvesh reservoir in the R. Macedonia. The results of the current study indicated liver, kidney and gonads as target organs for metal accumulation and muscles as the tissue with the lowest concentrations of metal residues. Fish caught throughout 2006-2008 in the investigated area could be recommended as health food concerning metal burden as Macedonian alimentary standards for Cd and Pb in edible tissues have not been exceeded.

“…Almost no data were available to compare muscle and whole body concentrations, and liver to whole body comparisons were rarely reported. Comparisons of slopes (Table 6) of the relationships between liver and muscle and indicated that the relationships were not consistent between this study and literature values for common carp and white sucker (Bendell-Young and Harvey, 1989;Bradley and Morris, 1986;Harrison and Klavercamp, 1990;Miklovics et al, 1985;Sreedevi et at., 1992;Stripp et at., 1990;Suresh et at., 1993). Only the slopes of the relationship between concentrations in the liver and muscle tissue for nickel were not significantly different (t-test, P < 0.05).…”

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) collected from four sites in the Red River of the North in 1994 were analyzed for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), selenium (So), and zinc (Zn). Concentrations differed among liver, muscle, and whole body. Generally, trace element concentrations were the greatest in livers while concentrations in whole bodies were greater than those in muscle for Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, and concentrations in muscle were similar to whole body for As and Se. Concentrations of Cr were lower in liver than either muscle or whole body. Correlations between liver and whole body concentrations were stronger than those between liver and muscle concentrations, but the strongest correlations were between muscle and whole body concentrations. Examination of tissue concentrations by collection sites suggested that, for a general survey, the whole body may be the most effective matrix to analyze.

“…Although Mn in bony tissue can increase in fishes exposed to high concentrations of this element (Lockhart and Lutz ; Fraser and Harvey ; Moreau et al ), Bendell‐Young and Harvey () found that this relationship was not clearly defined because Mn is also homeostatically regulated. Direct relationships have been observed between water and skeletal concentrations of Zn, Pb, Ba, As, and Cd (Fraser and Harvey ; Moreau et al ; Bendell‐Young and Harvey ; Bengtsson et al ; Stripp et al ; Miller et al ; Kock et al ); however, Zn concentrations in vertebrae have also been observed to be influenced by genetic factors (Yamada et al ).…”

Microchemical analyses of fish otoliths have revolutionized fisheries science. Molecules deposited within otoliths may originate from ambient water and diet, with molecular concentrations being subject to subsequent physiological alteration after exposure. Analyses of otolith microstructure and incorporation of inorganic elements have led to major advances in stock assessment and fisheries ecology. However, the use of otoliths for microchemical analyses has drawbacks. Specifically, otolith removal from live specimens requires specimen sacrifice, which may be forbidden in the case of protected species. In addition, otoliths rarely contain sufficient concentrations of organic matter to allow reconstruction of food-web relationships via multiple stable isotopes, and otolith microstructure can be difficult to interpret in some species. Here, we review alternatives to otoliths that can provide microchemical analytes for life-history studies in fishes. Our focus is to describe advantages and disadvantages to the use of each alternative structure, with particular attention paid to trace-element analysis for inorganic matrices and stable-isotope analysis for organic ones. In general, the chronological analysis of elemental and isotopic values within each structure depends on the inert nature (or lack of molecular turnover) of the tissue. Structures with high turnover rates or those that are metabolically active will not effectively record elemental or isotopic compositions over time. Here, we provide an assessment of the use of bony endoskeleton, fin spines, fin rays, scales, and eye lenses as alternatives or complements to fish otolith analysis.
