Kinetics of Cd accumulation and elimination in tissues of juvenile rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) exposed to dietary Cd

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation and elimination were investigated in the tissues (gill, intestine, kidney, lever and muscle) of juvenile rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli, after sub-chronic dietary Cd exposure (0, 0.5, 5, 25 and 125 mg/kg). No mortality occurred during the sub-chronic exposure to dietary Cd. Specific growth rates of the rockfish estimated by weight and length were significantly different from those of the control, and a significant inverse relationship was observed between weight gain and the exposure concentration of dietary Cd at 25, 125 mg/kg. Cd accumulation in the tissues increased with exposure periods and concentrations for the 60 days of dietary Cd exposure. Cd accumulation in the intestine of rockfish was higher than other tissues, and the order of Cd accumulation in tissues were intestine>kidney approximately liver>gill>muscle. Accumulation factors showed an increase with the exposure period and an inverse relationship between the accumulation factor and the exposure concentrations in the gill, intestine, liver and muscle, but not in kidney. Cd elimination in tissues of rockfish decreased during the 30 days of depuration except kidney and muscle. Intestine showed the fastest elimination rates of Cd at all concentrations compared with other tissues.

The correlation between bioaccumulation and pattern of stress-related genes expression of black sea bream (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Acanthopagrus schlegeli</Emphasis>) by cadmium exposure

In order to correlate the expression of detoxifying enzyme genes and Cd accumulation in black sea bream, we analyzed four tissues (brain, gills, liver, and muscle) from black sea breams that were exposed to four different concentrations of Cd (0, 2, 13, and 25 mg/L) for various durations (0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 h). The highest level of Cd was accumulated in the liver, followed by the gills, brain, and muscle. The accumulation of Cd was significantly correlated with the duration of exposure and the concentration in brain, gill, and liver tissue, but not in muscle tissue, and the rate of accumulation increased with Cd concentration. The expression of metallothionein II (MT II) mRNA exhibited a similar pattern as Cd accumulation, especially in that the expression of MT II mRNA decreased in muscle tissue with increases in exposure duration. In contrast, the expression of cytochrome P450 1A (CYP1A) mRNA was highest in the liver, followed by brain, muscle, and gill tissues, and in gills and muscle tissue of Cd-exposed fish, the expression of CYP1A mRNA fell below that of the control fish. Overall, the liver of black sea bream was the most sensitive to Cd exposure, and the expression of MT II mRNA was 200-fold greater than the control fish. These findings indicate that the detoxification mechanisms of black sea bream are influenced by both MT II and CYP1A and that the genes participate in the detoxification of different tissues.     

Oral single pulse exposure of flounder Platichthys flesus to 4-tert-octylphenol: Relations between tissue levels and estrogenic effects

The accumulation of 4-tert-octylphenol and the associated estrogenic effects were studied after a single pulse exposure to flounder Platichthys flesus. 4-tert-octylphenol was administered orally in a single dose of 50 mg kg(-1) and tissue (liver, muscle and testis) and plasma concentrations of 4-tert-octylphenol as well as plasma vitellogenin were measured 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 72, 144 and 216 h after administration of the dose. Concentrations of 4-tert-octylphenol in plasma and tissues were determined by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). 4-tert-octylphenol was detectable in liver, testis, muscle and plasma 3h post administration and an accumulation was observed in liver, muscle and plasma up to 12 h and in testis 18 h post administration, respectively. The maximum concentrations of 4-tert-octylphenol in liver, muscle and testis were 67, 3.2 and 6.8 microg g(-1), respectively. An increase in plasma vitellogenin levels was seen 48 h post administration and the vitellogenin level continued to increase (from <100 ng ml(-1) to 1.4 mg ml(-1)) until the end of the experiment 9 days after the administration of 4-tert-octylphenol.

4-tert-octylphenol and 17beta-estradiol applied by feeding to flounder Platichthys flesus: induction of vitellogenin and accumulation in tissues

In order to simulate a possible natural administration route of xenoestrogens male flounder Platichthys flesus were exposed via the diet to the alkylphenol 4-tert-octylphenol. Treatment with 4-tert-octylphenol (10, 50 and 100 mg OP kg(-1) BW) or 17beta-estradiol (0.05 mg kg(-1) BW) every second day during a period of 11 days resulted in a significant increase in plasma vitellogenin (Vtg) concentrations. The induction of Vtg was greatest in the fish receiving 50 mg OP kg-' BW. A significant accumulation of 4-tert-octylphenol was found in liver and muscle tissue of the OP treated groups. The tissue concentrations of 4-tert-octylphenol and the plasma vitellogenin concentration were positively correlated. The results show that 4-tert-octylphenol accumulates in liver and muscles of flounder P. flesus, and exerts estrogenic effects such as vitellogenin induction.     

Effects of long-term exposure to silver or copper on growth, bioaccumulation and histopathology in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis

The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term accumulation of either silver or copper from low concentrations in seawater by blue mussels, Mytilus edulis. Mussels raised from eggs in the laboratory to the age of 2·5 months (approximately 4·5 mm in length) were continuously exposed to 0, 1, 5 and 10μg/liter of either silver (nitrate) or copper (chloride) and sampled at 12, 18 and 21 months for growth studies, measurements of metal accumulation and histopathological examination.Whole-body soft tissues were analyzed for the presence of both silver and copper, as background levels of copper in the incoming seawater averaged 2–4 μg/liter. Mussels exposed to silver had accumulated significant amounts of silver only at the highest test concentration (10 μg/liter Ag) after 12 months, but at 18 and 21 months significant levels were accumulated at all three test concentrations. Mussels exposed to copper accumulated significant amounts of copper at 5 and 10 μg/liter Cu after all three sampling periods, but not at 1μg/liter. Silver-exposed animals also accumulated significantly greater amounts of copper than control animals.In a comparative study, field-collected juvenile mussels (approximately 16·1 mm in shell length) and adult mussels (approximately 53·4 mm in shell length) were exposed for 12 months to 0, 5, 25 and 50 μg/liter silver only and subsequently sampled for metal-accumulation analyses and growth measurements. Juvenile mussels accumulated significant amounts of silver at all test concentrations, with the exception of mussels exposed to 5 μg/liter Ag for 6 months. Copper accumulation in the silver-exposed juveniles was significant only at 50 μg/liter Ag after 6 months, but at all test concentrations after 12 months. Adult mussels exposed to silver accumulated significant levels of both silver and copper, but at somewhat lower levels than juveniles.In the growth study, silver had no effect on laboratory reared mussels at the highest concentration of 10 μg/liter tested, whereas copper at 10 μg/liter did appear to affect growth as early as 4 months after the start of experimental exposure. Field-collected juvenile mussels did show inhibition in growth after 6 months' exposure to 25 and 50 μg/liter Ag, with some growth occurring after 12 months. Adults also showed inhibition in growth after 6 months but not at 12 months.Histopathological examination of mussels exposed to either 5 or 10 μg/liter of copper for 18 months showed changes in the digestive diverticula, gastrointestinal tract, reproductive tract and muscle tissues. These changes were more noticeable in mussels exposed to 5 μg/liter Cu than in those exposed to 10 μg/liter. Mussels exposed to silver for 21 months showed yellowish to black particulate deposition in the basement membrane and connective tissue of the various organs and tissues. Silver deposition increased with increasing test concentration.     

南极大磷虾粉对点带石斑鱼幼鱼氟蓄积的影响

为研究南极大磷虾(Euphausia superba)粉对点带石斑鱼幼鱼氟蓄积和生长的影响,作者通过饲养点带石斑鱼(Epinephelus malabaricus)幼鱼(初始体质量为(3.50±0.30)g,体长(5.5±0.3)cm)100 d,在基础日粮中添加0%(对照组)、2%、4%和6%的南极大磷虾粉制成4组饲料,饲料中氟质量分数分别为145.81、202.71、257.53和317.60 mg/kg。结果显示:南极大磷虾粉中的氟在点带石斑鱼幼鱼组织中的分布程度,以脊椎骨和鳃中为最高,氟质量分数分别为(58.020~114.380)mg/kg和(46.029~123.874)mg/kg,其次是皮(含鳞片)((44.127~88.761)mg/kg),再次是肝((7.654~18.248)mg/kg),而肌肉中氟蓄积最低((3.352~3.999)mg/kg);脊椎骨、皮(含鳞片)和鳃中氟含量随饲养时间的延续而产生蓄积,且与饲料中南极大磷虾粉的水平呈正相关,肝中氟含量随饲养时间延续而产生蓄积,但与南极大磷虾粉的水平无相关性,肌肉中氟含量与饲养时间和南极大磷虾粉水平均无相关性;100 d时,4%组和6%组的特定生长率处于最高水平,且显著高于对照组(P0.05)。本研究表明在饲料中添加4%~6%南极大磷虾粉,对点带石斑鱼幼鱼生长具有明显的促进作用。     

Toxicity,growth and accumulation relationships of copper,lead and zinc in the grey mangrove Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh

The effects of three heavy metals Copper (Cu), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), and the interaction of an essential (Zn) and non-essential (Pb) metal on germination, growth, and accumulation of metals in the grey mangrove, Avicennia marina (Forsk.) Vierh var. australasica (Walp.) Moldenke, were studied under laboratory conditions. Avicennia marina was found to be highly tolerant to the metals applied. Copper was accumulated in root tissue in a linear relationship at lower sediment concentrations, but at concentrations of 200 microg/g and higher, no further increases in root Cu levels occurred. Translocation of Cu from the root to leaf tissue was low, yet revealed similar accumulation patterns as root tissue. Significant reductions in seedling height leaf number and area were found with significant increases in Cu concentrations in tissues at 100 microg/g sediment Cu. At Cu sediment levels of 400 microg/g, a decrease in total biomass and root growth inhibition was observed. Emergence was retarded with increasing copper concentration, with 800 microg/g sediment Cu resulting in a total inhibition of emergence. The LC50 for emergence and EC50 for biomass was 566 and 380 microg/g Cu respectively. Lead accumulation in root tissue was lower that other metals, yet increased in a dose dependant fashion across the sediment Pb concentration range examined. Lead was excluded from leaf tissue at Pb sediment concentrations up to 400 microg/g, above which limited transport of Pb occurred. Little negative effects on growth were observed due to the low accumulation of Pb. Zinc uptake was high, and was accumulated in a linear fashion in root tissue across the sediment Zn concentration range applied. Zinc translocation to leaf tissue exhibited a dose dependant relationship with both root and sediment Zn levels. Emergence decreased with increasing sediment Zn concentrations, with 1000 microg/g sediment Zn showing 100% mortality. Significant reductions in seedling height, leaf number, area, biomass and root growth inhibition were found at concentrations of 500 microg/g sediment Zn. The LC50 for emergence and EC50 for biomass was 580 and 392 microg/g Zn respectively. Lead and Zn in combination resulted in an increased accumulation of both metals in leaf tissue and increased toxicity than individual metals alone, and is the first noted occurrence of a Pb and Zn additive response in angiosperms. Possible mechanisms of accumulation and toxicity are discussed.     

Chronic dietary exposure to copper affects growth, tissue lipid peroxidation, and metal composition of the grey mullet, Chelon labrosus

Juvenile grey mullet (Chelon labrosus) were fed either a basal (4.4 mg Cu/kg dry wt) or high-Cu diet (2400 mg Cu metal/kg dry wt) for 10 weeks to assess the relationship between growth and Cu-induced oxidative damage. No mortalities were observed, but growth rate and food intake were reduced by 43 and 29%, respectively, in the high-Cu group. This was not only attributed to peroxidative damage of the food which reduced food intake (palatability), but also to direct effects of hepatic lipid peroxidation. Hepatic α-tocopherol concentrations were 63% lower, while malondialdehyde (MDA) increased by 304% in mullet fed a high-Cu diet for 67d. Cu-exposure reduced apparent α-tocopherol retention by 420%. Hepatic Fe and Zn levels fell, while Cu increased (p < 0.05). The results show that oral Cu exposure induces oxidative stress in grey mullet. Quantification of lipid peroxidation (rancidity) in the food, reflecting palatability, is essential to differentiate the direct toxic effects of Cu on growth from the secondary influences of reduced food intake.     

Comparison of organotin accumulation in the masu salmon Oncorhynchus masou accompanying migratory histories

In order to examine the accumulation pattern of organotin compounds (OTs) accompanying the migration pattern in diadromous fish, tributyltin (TBT) and triphenyltin (TPT) compounds and their derivatives were determined in the liver, muscle, gill, and ovary tissues of both sea-run and freshwater-resident masu salmon, which are of the same species, Oncorhynchus masou. Their migratory histories were estimated using strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) analysis in the otolith. A significant difference in the mean Sr:Ca ratio from the core to the edge of the otolith was found between sea-run and freshwater-resident masu salmon. The TBT concentration in the liver was significantly higher than that in the other tissues in both sea-run and freshwater-resident fishes. In sea-run masu salmon, the TBT concentrations in all tissues except for the ovary were significantly higher than in those of freshwater-resident individuals. In the sea-run type, the percentage of TBT was higher than that of the freshwater-resident type. The TPT concentration in the liver of the sea-run type was also significantly higher than that in the other tissues, while that in the gill of the freshwater-resident type was significantly higher than that in the other tissues except for the ovary. The TPT concentrations found in the liver and muscle of the sea-run type were significantly higher than those in the freshwater-resident type, whereas the values of the gill in the sea-run type were significantly lower than those in the freshwater-resident fish examined. The percentage of TPT in the sea-run type was higher than that of the freshwater-resident type. These results suggest that the sea-run O. masou has a higher ecological risk of TBT and TPT exposure than the freshwater-residents during their life history.     

Metallothioneins and cytosolic metals in Neomysis integer exposed to cadmium at different salinities

In the present study the induction of metallothioneins (MTs) and its relation to cytosolic metal concentrations (Zn, Cu and Cd) in the euryhaline crustacean Neomysis integer exposed to Cd at different salinities was studied. N. integer was exposed to the same free cadmium ion activity of 5.74 x 10(-9) mol l(-1) (i.e. 1/5 of the 96 h LC(50) value expressed as cadmium activity) in hypo-osmotic (5 psu), isosmotic (16 psu) and hyper-osmotic media (25 psu) for 7 days. In this way, the effect of salinity on cadmium speciation was eliminated and therefore the physiological effect of salinity on Cd accumulation and MT induction could be studied. The accumulation of cytosolic Cd in N. integer changed with salinity from 1.11+/-0.05 micromol l(-1) at 5 psu up to 1.43+/-0.17 micromol l(-1) at 25 psu. This could indicate that the physiological response of euryhaline estuarine invertebrates like N. integer to salinity changes can influence the rate of trace metal uptake from solution. While the salinity changes did not cause significant differences in cytosolic Zn concentrations (mean value of all tested salinities: 34.4+/-2.8 micromol l(-1)), an inverse relationship between salinity and cytosolic Cu concentration was observed. The highest concentration of 15.7+/-2.3 micromol Cul(-1) was determined at 5 psu and the lowest 10.9+/-1.4 micromol Cul(-1) at 25 psu. This could point to a possible relationship between the copper concentration and the hemocyanin metabolism in N. integer. This is the first time that differential pulse voltammetry method was applied to MT assays with N. integer. Although the exposure to Cd resulted in a higher Cd cytosolic concentration, no subsequent MT increase was detected. The significant positive correlation between MT levels and cytosolic Cu concentrations (Spearman correlation coefficient r(s)=0.356, p=0.009) implies a strong relationship between MT and Cu in N. integer.     

Assessment of pollution and ecological risk of heavy metals in the surface sediments of Ulsan Bay,Korea

Heavy metal concentrations in the surface sediments of specially managed Ulsan Bay were investigated to determine metal distribution, pollution status and its ecological risk using pollution indices (enrichment factor and geo-accumulation index), potential ecological risk index and sediment quality guidelines (SQGs). The order of mean concentration (mg/kg) of metals was Zn (361.9) > Cu (95.6) > Pb (90.7) > Cr (64.7) > Ni (32.2) > Co (16.6) > As (15.8) > Cd (0.40) > Hg (0.16) in sediments of Ulsan Bay. Spatial distribution of metals in sediments showed a significantly higher concentration near industrial complexes, indicating that metal pollution is caused by anthropogenic sources. The results of enrichment factor (EF) and geo-accumulation index (I_geo) showed that sediments were significantly accumulated with Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb and Hg, indicating moderate to very severe enrichment (pollution) by these metals. Based on the potential ecological risk index, Hg and Cd posed a very high and a considerable potential ecological risk. Cu and As posed a moderate potential ecological risk, while, other metals (Cr, Co, Ni, Zn and Pb) rarely posed any potential ecological risk to the coastal environments. The sediments in Ulsan Bay showed a very high level of ecological risk, dominated by Hg and Cd. Metal concentrations in sediments were 80% for Cu, 96.7% for Zn, 50% for As, 70% for Pb and 50% for Hg above the threshold effects level (TEL), respectively.
