Bioavailability and health risk assessment of Zn and Cd in edible tissues of two typical shellfish species using in vitro gastrointestinal digestion.

Dynamic extraction of edible tissues of Jinjiang oyster (Crassostrea rivularis) and Flower clam (Paphia undulata) was conducted using a fully biomimetic digestion (in vitro) method. The impact of different cooking methods on the bioavailability of Zn and Cd in the edible shellfish tissues was analyzed, and the human health risk of Zn and Cd was evaluated. The results show that the gastric biomimetic extractions of Zn and Cd in unheated samples of C.

Bioenrichment preference and human risk assessment of arsenic and metals in wild marine organisms from Dapeng (Mirs) Bay, South China Sea.

Bioenrichment preference of arsenic and metals in wild marine organisms has been scarcely considered. Twenty species including fishes, cephalopods, crustaceans, and bivalve mollusks were collected from Dapeng (Mis) Bay and analyzed for arsenic and metals. Through this study, we had obtained the following four main conclusions: (1) average concentrations of arsenic and metals (μg/kg, wet weight) in the aquatic organism samples were 48.

Micro-CT and SEM investigation of sound absorption structure and chambers in the otoliths of Giant Panda fish species - Chinese Bahaba (Bahaba taipingensis).

As a critically endangered (CR) fish species, Chinese Bahaba is a unique "Giant Panda" fish species in China and has been listed among the national first-class wildlife protection animals and China's top 10 genetic resources of aquatic products since 2021. This fish species is of high commercial value because its swim bladder is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine. Its otoliths are the sensory organs immersed in the endolymph for maintaining its balance and hearing.

Metal Biological Enrichment Capacities, Distribution Patterns, and Health Risk Implications in Sea Bass (Lateolabrax japonicus).

Seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) is a major aquacultured fish species worldwide. The bioconcentration, bioaccumulation, and biomagnification of metals in water, sediments, and commercial feed were investigated in L. japonicus from an aquaculture pond in the Pearl River Delta of South China.

Rare earth elements in different trophic level marine wild fish species.

The presence of rare earth elements (REEs) in different trophic levels of wild fish species remains unknown. In this study, fish characteristics and distribution patterns of REEs at different trophic levels of wild fish species are studied for the first time. The northern coastal region of the South China Sea was selected as it has the highest fishing intensity in China.

Fingerprint characteristics and health risks of trace metals in market fish species from a large aquaculture producer in a typical arid province in Northwestern China.

Concentrations of nine metals were measured in eight common cultured fish species obtained from forty-three aquatic product markets across three cities in Xinjiang province, to establish fingerprint characteristics and assess potential human health risks due to the consumption of fish. Metal levels ( g/kg, wet weight) in fish muscles were: 1204.88-5113.

Biological risk assessment of heavy metals in sediments and health risk assessment in bivalve mollusks from Kaozhouyang Bay, South China.

The concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Hg and As) in surface sediments and bivalve mollusks in Kaozhouyang Bay were investigated. A biological risk analysis of the sediments indicated that ten sites (about 76.92% of the total number of sites) had a 21% incidence probability of toxicity.

Fuzzy comprehensive assessment of heavy metals and Pb isotopic signature in surface sediments from a bay under serious anthropogenic influences: Daya Bay, China.

The fuzzy comprehensive assessment was undertaken to evaluate the marine sediment quality in Daya Bay, China based on the monitoring data of 2015 and China National Standard for Marine Sediment Quality (GB 18668-2002). The results demonstrated that the average metal concentrations (mg/kg) were 0.08 (Cd), 51.

Speciation and risk of heavy metals in sediments and human health implications of heavy metals in edible nekton in Beibu Gulf, China: A case study of Qinzhou Bay.

We investigated the total concentrations of heavy metals in surface sediments and nekton, along with sediment metal chemical partitioning in Qinzhou Bay of the Beibu Gulf. Cd was preferentially associated with the acid-soluble fraction and Pb mainly with the reducible fraction, whereas a major portion of Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn was strongly associated with the residual fractions. A principal component analysis (PCA) in sediment metal speciation revealed three groupings (Cd; Pb; Cr, Ni, Cu, and Zn) that mainly resulted from different distributions of the metals in the various fractions.

[The progress in speciation analysis of trace elements by atomic spectrometry].

The main purpose of the present work is to review the different non-chromatographic methods for the speciation analysis of trace elements in geological, environmental, biological and medical areas. In this paper, the sample processing methods in speciation analysis were summarized, and the main strategies for non-chromatographic technique were evaluated. The basic principles of the liquid extractions proposed in the published literatures recently and their advantages and disadvantages were discussed, such as conventional solvent extraction, cloud point extraction, single droplet microextraction, and dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction.
