“…Such insoluble forms of cadmium could subsequently be excreted via the lumen during epithelial cell breakdown, especially if there was no further transfer of cadmium from the gills to the hepatopancreas. It has been proposed that cadmium accumulated via the diet of the amphipod Corophium volutator can be excreted following the breakdown of epithelial cells of the ventral cecea, releasing detoxified metals into the gut lumen and out of the body via faeces . However, subcellular fractionation of cadmium in the hepatopancreas after different periods of exposure would be required to confirm these assumptions for M. australiense .…”

The uptake, depuration, and organ distribution of the radioisotope Cd were used to explore the internal kinetics of this nonessential metal following accumulation from waterborne cadmium by the freshwater decapod crustacean Macrobrachium australiense. Short- (6 h) and long-term (7 to 14 days) exposures to the radioisotope in solutions of 0.56 μg Cd/L were followed by depuration in metal- and isotope-free water for up to 21 days. The anatomical distribution of the radionuclide was visualized using autoradiography at predefined time points. The gills did not become saturated with cadmium after 14 days of exposure and demonstrated a greater rate of cadmium uptake relative to the hepatopancreas. Cadmium concentrations decreased rapidly during depuration from both gills and hepatopancreas after short exposures but slowly following long-term exposures. This suggests that the duration of cadmium exposure influences the depuration rate for this organism. The study demonstrates the complex behavior of cadmium accumulated by M. australiense and improves our understanding of how exposure duration will influence the internal location and potential toxicity of metals.

“…However, once assimilated, the internal fate of these metals is not the same. Cobalt and Zn may be excreted by aquatic invertebrates [ 48 , 49 ] and are mainly retrieved in the insoluble fraction. On the contrary, Cd and Cu accumulate in the cytosolic fraction where they are durably bound notably to metallothionein (MT), proteins implicated in their detoxification and sequestration [ 15 , 50 , 51 ].…”

Over the course of history, the development of human societies implied the exploitation of mineral resources which generated huge amounts of mining wastes leading to substantial environmental contamination by various metal(loid)s. This is especially the case of coal mine tailings which, subjected to weathering reactions, produce acid mine drainage (AMD), a recurring ecological issue related to current and past mining activities. In this study, we aimed to determine the origin, the fate and the ecotoxicity of metal(loid)s leached from a historical coal tailing heap to the Beuveroux river (Franche-Comté, France) using a combination of mineralogical, chemical and biological approaches. In the constitutive materials of the tailings, we identified galena, tetrahedrite and bournonite as metal-rich minerals and their weathering has led to massive contamination of the water and suspended particles of the river bordering the heap. The ecotoxicity of the AMD has been assessed using Chironomus riparius larvae encaged in the field during a one-month biomonitoring campaign. The larvae showed lethal and sub-lethal (growth and emergence inhibition and delay) impairments at the AMD tributary and near downstream stations. Metal bioaccumulation and subcellular fractionation in the larvae tissues revealed a strong bioavailability of, notably, As, Pb and Tl explaining the observed biological responses. Thus, more than 70 years after the end of mining operations, the coal tailings remain a chronic source of contamination and environmental risks in AMD effluent receiving waters.

“…Ocean Disposal. Uptake, accumulation, and excretion of radioactively labeled zinc, cadmium, and cobalt added to digested biosolids by the benthic-feeding amphipod Corophium volutator (Pallas) was studied by Galay Burgos and Rainbow (1998). Irregularly, pulses of labeled zinc, cadmium, and cobalt were excreted and it was suggested this excretion pattern reflected the breakdown of epithelial cells of the ventral caeca following a cell cycle, resulting in the excretion of stored metals.…”
