Popis: | Abstract Arsenic (As), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), aluminum (Al), cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) accumulations were evaluated in the gills, hepatopancreas, exoskeleton, and muscles of Pontastacus leptodactylus (crayfish) (Eschscholtz, 1823). The highest metal accumulation was observed in the gills and hepatopancreas. It was detected a negative correlation between Cr-Pb, As-Cr in the muscle tissue. All other metals were displayed positive correlations with each other in the gills, hepatopancreas, and exoskeleton. Strong positive correlations were determined between Ni-Cd and As-Pb in the gills, Ni-Cd, As-Pb and Al-Zn in the hepatopancreas, Zn-Mn and Fe-Cu in the exoskeleton, Ni-Cd, As-Pb, Zn-Mn, Al-Mn, Fe-Cu and Al-Zn in the muscle (r= 1.000). PCA and cluster analysis generally were supported the correlations observed. The correlations between divalent metals may be expressed by the role of divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) in the gathering of these metals. |
