Concentrations of the trace elements iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead were measured in samples collected from the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Cobalt, cadmium, and lead occurred at or below the detection limits of the analytical method. The mean concentrations of nickel, copper, and zinc were 0.4 μgl−1. 0.6 μgl−1 and 1.8 μgl−1 respectively, and there was no evidence that local conditions influence their distribution. The distribution of dissolved and colloidal iron is related to dilution and precipitation processes which occur as fresh and saline waters are mixed. The particulate iron distribution is largely governed by water circulation patterns and settling.

The contamination of aquatic systems with heavy metals is affecting the fish population and hence results in a decline of productivity rate. River Kabul is a transcountry river originating at Paghman province in Afghanistan and inters in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan and it is the major source of irrigation and more than 54 fish species have been reported in the river. Present study aimed at the estimation of heavy metals load in the fish living in River Kabul. Heavy metals including chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, and lead were determined through atomic absorption spectrophotometer after tissue digestion by adopting standard procedures. Concentrations of these metals were recorded in muscles and liver of five native fish species, namely,Wallago attu,Aorichthys seenghala,Cyprinus carpio,Labeo dyocheilus, andOmpok bimaculatus. The concentrations of chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, and lead were higher in both of the tissues, whereas the concentration of cadmium was comparatively low. However, the concentration of metals was exceeding the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance of USA) limits. Hence, continuous fish consumption may create health problems for the consumers. The results of the present study are alarming and suggest implementing environmental laws and initiation of a biomonitoring program of the river.

ABSTRACTIdentifying substances in sediment that cause adverse effects on benthic organisms has been implemented as an effective source-control strategy. However, the identification of such substances is difficult due to the complicated interactions between liquid and solid phases and organisms. Metabolomic approaches have been utilized to assess the effects of toxicants on various organisms; however, the relationships between the toxicants and metabolomic profiles have not been generalized, and it makes impractical to identify major toxicants from metabolomic information. In this study, we used partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to investigate these relationships. The objective of this study was to construct PLS-DA models using the metabolomic profiles of the benthic amphipod Grandidierella japonica to assess the exposure effects of target toxicants and to demonstrate the utility of these models to assess the effects of chemicals in environmental samples. The PLS-DA models were constructed from the metabolomic profiles of G. japonica to discriminate the exposure of G. japonica to chromium, nickel, copper, zinc, cadmium, fluoranthene, nicotine, and osmotic stress. The models had high predictive power for the presumptive exposure to each chemical and were able to detect exposures in mixed chemical samples. These results suggest that the metabolomic responses can provide important information for the assessment of chemical effects on organisms. We applied the models to the metabolomic profiles of G. japonica exposed to river sediment and road dust, and the results demonstrated the applicability of the models. The control groups were not classified as exposure groups, and no samples were presumed to belong to any exposure group. These results suggest that the target chemicals were not toxic in the samples and conditions we investigated. This study demonstrates a method to assess the relationships between chemical exposure and metabolomic responses. To the best our knowledge, this is the first study to apply metabolomics for identification of toxicants.
