Toxic Effects of Arsenic on Four Freshwater Aquatic Species and Its Transformation Metabolism in Crucian Carp ().

Inorganic arsenic is a well-known carcinogen that is much more toxic than its organic counterpart. While much is known about the accumulation and transformation of arsenic in marine organisms, little is known regarding these processes in freshwater aquatic species. In this study, the acute toxicity and toxicological effects of inorganic arsenic on four freshwater organisms (, , , ) commonly found in rice-fish farming systems were investigated.

Comprehensive assessment of detoxification mechanisms of hydrolysis fish peptides in largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) under copper exposure: Tracing from bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, lipid deposition to metabolomics.

As a heavy metal, copper is toxic to aquatic organisms in water, causing oxidative stress and lipid deposition. However, there is currently no effective dietary strategy to prevent damage caused by copper exposure. Here, copper bioaccumulation, antioxidant enzymes, lipogenic enzymes, lipid metabolism-related gene expression levels and metabolic pathways were synthesized and evaluated in copper-exposed largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) after hydrolysis fish peptides (HFP) pretreatment.

[Trophic niche and interspecific diet relationship of in autumn from Langcuo Lake of Tibet, China].

Langcuo Lake is a typical plateau lake in the southern Tibet, with an altitude of 4300 m. and coexisted in this lake. In this study, we investigated the food composition and trophic niche of two fishes in autumn by carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes technique in 2018.

Determination of sulfonamide antibiotics in fish and shrimp samples based on magnetic carbon nanotube dummy molecularly imprinted polymer extraction followed by UPLC-MS/MS.

In this study, a novel purification method using magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) based on magnetic carbon nanotube dummy molecularly imprinted polymer (MCNTMIP) nanocomposite was investigated for separation and enrichment of sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) in fish and shrimp samples. The MCNTMIP nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by applying carbon nanotubes as supporting template, methacrylic acid as functional monomer, sulfabenzamide as the dummy template for SAs, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinking agent, then was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry and vibrating sample magnetometry. The adsorption performance of MCNTMIP was evaluated by binding experiments, including static adsorption, kinetic adsorption, and selectivity recognition study.

Distribution, contents and health risk assessment of heavy metal(loid)s in fish from different water bodies in Northeast China.

This study aimed at investigating the accumulation and potential risks of eight metal(loid)s in fish from natural and culturing water samples in Northeast China. Chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) contents in 16 fish species (155 samples) and sediments of their habitats were analyzed. In general, the concentrations of these eight metal(loid)s in most fish samples are lower than the guideline levels and legal limits, and the Pb and Hg level in 0.

Heavy Metal Levels in Fish from Heilongjiang River and Potential Health Risk Assessment.

Concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cr, As, Cd, Pb and Hg were determined in 153 samples covering 18 fish species collected from Heilongjiang River, China, and the potential health risks to local residents through fish consumption were estimated. Results revealed that all metals were detected with Cd and Pb having considerably lower detection rate. There were 28.

Trace elements in farmed fish (Cyprinus carpio, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Oncorhynchus mykiss) from Beijing: implication from feed.

Concentrations of 30 trace elements, Li, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Mo, Zn, Se, Sr, Co, Al, Ti, As, Cs, Sc, Te, Ba, Ga, Pb, Sn, Cd, Sb, Ag, Tm, TI, Be, Hg and U in major cultured freshwater fish species (common carp-Cyprinus carpio, grass carp-Ctenopharyngodon idella and rainbow trout-Oncorhynchus mykiss) with the corresponding feed from 23 fish farms in Beijing, China, were investigated. The results revealed that Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Sr, Se were the major accumulated essential elements and Al, Ti were the major accumulated non-essential elements, while Mo, Co, Ga, Sn, Cd, Sb, Ag, Tm, U, TI, Be, Te, Pb and Hg were hardly detectable. Contents of investigated trace elements were close to or much lower than those in fish from other areas in China.

Heavy metals in sea cucumber juveniles from coastal areas of Bohai and Yellow seas, north China.

The study was undertaken to assess the contents of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cd, As and Hg) in sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) juveniles from coastal areas of Bohai and Yellow seas in northern China. Sea cucumber juveniles were collected from twenty commercial hatcheries distributed in five coastal cities. The mean concentrations obtained for heavy metals in mg/kg were as follows: Cu (0.
