Article Synopsis
- The study examined how cadmium (Cd) is distributed within the liver of two marine fish species, the European sea bass and the Senegalese sole, after they were fed cadmium over two months, followed by a two-month detox period.
- During detoxification, sea bass primarily stored cadmium in detoxifying proteins, whereas the sole stored it in more sensitive organelles, indicating different strategies for handling cadmium exposure.
- The sole experienced more significant disruptions in essential metal balance and growth due to cadmium, suggesting that the differences in how each fish species processes cadmium may explain their varying sensitivities to its toxic effects.
Impacted marine environments lead to metal accumulation in edible marine fish, ultimately impairing human health. Nevertheless, metal accumulation is highly variable among marine fish species. In addition to ecological features, differences in bioaccumulation can be attributed to species-related physiological processes, which were investigated in two marine fish present in the Canary Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME), where natural and anthropogenic metal exposure occurs.

According to the Directive, achieving competence through adequate training is a requisite for people having a role in the different functions (article 23) as such carrying out procedures on animals, designing procedures and projects, taking care of animals, killing animals. Cephalopod Biology and Care Training Program is specifically designed to comply with the requirements of the "working document on the development of a common education and training framework to fulfil the requirements under the Directive 2010/63/EU".
