Over the last few decades, the demand‐driven growth in aquaculture has been tremendous
due to development and adoption of cutting‐edge technologies and production systems …

The expansion of the aquaculture production is restricted due to the pressure it causes on
the environment by the discharge of waste products in the water bodies and by its …

In pristine natural waters, silver (Ag) occurs at low ng L− 1 levels, rising to 1000-fold at highly
contaminated sites. The free ion Ag+ appears to be the sole cause of acute toxicity in …

Heavy metal cadmium (Cd) pollution is a serious problem affecting the sustainable
development of aquaculture and the safety of aquatic foods. Research about the use of …

This issue of Environmental Chemistry features a series of papers that focus on cadmium as
an environmental contaminant. This emphasis on cadmium is welcome and perhaps …

Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal that can pose a serious threat to aquatic organisms. To
evaluate the physiological response and defense mechanism of fish intestine to Cd toxicity …

Elevated metal levels in fish are a concern for the fish themselves, their predators, and
possibly humans who consume contaminated seafood. Metal bioaccumulation models often …

This study investigated the short-term (3 h) cadmium binding characteristics of the gills, as
well as the influence of various water chemistry variables [calcium, magnesium, sodium, pH …

The importance of salt and water absorption from the food by the gastrointestinal tract and its
impact on iono-and osmoregulation have been largely overlooked by fish physiologists. The …

An in vitro gut sac technique was used to compare the uptake rates of essential (copper, zinc
and nickel) and non-essential metals (silver, cadmium and lead) at 50μmolL− 1 each (a …
