The serum levels of Zn, Se and Cu of thecases and controls were detected. The resultsshowed that most echinococciasis cases weredistributed in Shiqu county (17.1%, 7/41), and only1 case was distributed in Yajiang county (2.4%). Themale to female ratio of the cases was 1:1.56. Theechinococciasis patients were mainly aged 30-39years (36.59%, 15/41). And, the cases aged 20-49years accounted for 68.29% (28/41). Comparedwith health controls, the serum levels of Zn and Seof the cases significantly declined. However, theserum level of Cu of the cases had no significantlychange. It was confirmed that the serum levels ofZn and Se were interrelated with the prevalence ofechinococciasis.展开更多

[ Method ] Juvenile rainbow trout with an initial weight of (89.2 ±0.2) g were fed with the basal fodder supplemented with different levels of ferrous fumarate (0, 20, 40, 80,160 and 480 mg/kg iron) for 60 d, and the six groups were named DO, D20, D40, D80, D160 and D480, wherein DO was as the control group, actually containing 62.60, 79.50, 99.60, 139.30, 215.20 and 538.40 mg/kg iron respectively. [ Result] The growth performance of juvenile rainbow trout was not affected by different dietary iron levels obviously ( P 〉 0.05). With the increase of dietary iron level, hemoglobin (Hb) content and number of red blood cells(RBC) rose firstly and then leveled off. No significance was found in hematocrit (Hct) among the six groups (P 〉0.05). Iron content in the whole body, vertebrae and muscle increased significantly with the improvement of dietary iron level( P 〈0.05), and iron concentration in the liver increased firstly and then leveled off in groups from D40 to D480. No significant difference in zinc content of the whole body was found among the six groups ( P〉0.05), while zinc content in the vertebrae and muscle in control group was significantly higher than that of other groups ( P〈0.05), and zinc concentration in the liver in groups DO and 1320 was significantly higher than that of other groups ( P 〈0.05). Copper content in the whole body increased significantly with the increase of dietary iron level (P 〈 0.05 ), while no significant difference was observed in the vertebrae ( P 〉0.05), and copper concentration in the muscle in control group was significantly lower than that of other groups ( P 〈0.05). Serum lysozyme (LZM) activity of group DO was significantly lower than that of other groups ( P 〈 0.05) except for group D480 ( P 〉 0.05). Catalase (CAT) activity of serum enhanced significantly ( P 〈 0.05) from DO to EH0 and then decreased obviously (P 〈0.05). [ Conclusion] Based on hemoglobin and iron content in the liver, the broken-line model analysis showed that the dietary iron level provided by ferrous fumarate for juvenile rainbow trout was estimated to be 99.8 and 100.4 mg/kg respectively in the experiment.展开更多

The objective of this work is to evaluate, on the one hand, the levels of identified pesticide residues and, on the other hand, those of researched TMEs (lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic) in the waters of ponds used for fish farming in Zépréguhé, a locality located 9 km from the town of Daloa in the centre-west of Côte d’Ivoire. The dosage of the samples carried out by means of a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC/MS) made it possible to detect nine (9) pesticide molecules, including eight (8) organochlorines and a single molecule from the pyrethroid family, obtained from the detection limit of 0.006 μg/L and the quantification limit of 0.018 μg/L. The maximum average concentration was obtained with α-endosulfan for a content reaching 0.8038 μg/L and well above the maximum admissible concentration of 0.1 μg/L. The TMEs were quantified using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Arsenic is the most abundant metal with an average concentration of 9.497 μg/L. With the exception of lead, these measured levels are above the acceptable limit values for freshwater. This study showed that human activities such as the use of fertilisers and plant protection products in plantations, sand extraction and road traffic have a negative impact on the quality of the water in ponds used for fish breeding.展开更多

Samples were collected from seven stations located in Anzali wetland, Iran. The samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS). The results showed that concentration of the studied metals(except As and Cd) were higher in sediments than in P.australis organs. Metal accumulation was found to be signifi cantly(P <0.05) higher in roots than in above-ground organs of P.australis. The bioaccumulation factor(BAF) and the transfer factor(TF) also verifi ed the highest rate of metal accumulation in roots and their reduced mobility from roots to the above-ground organs. Pearson correlation coeffi cient showed signifi cant relationships between metal concentrations in sediments and those in plant organs. It should be pointed out that sediment and plant samples exhibited higher metal concentrations in eastern and central parts than in western and southern parts of the wetland. The mean concentrations of all studied elements(except for Fe, V and Al) were higher in these sediment samples than in the Earth's crust and shale. High accumulation of metals in P. australis organs(roots and shoots) is indicative of their high bioavailability in sediments of the wetland. The correlation between metal concentrations in sediments and in P. australis indicates that plant organs are good bioindicators of metal pollution in sediments of Anzali wetland.展开更多
