text: In the present study, essential and nonessential metal content and biomarker
responses were investigated in the intestine of fish collected from the areas
polluted by mining. Our objective was to determine metal and biomarker levels
in tissue responsible for dietary intake, which is rarely studied in water pollution
research. The study was conducted in the Bregalnica River, reference location,
and in the Zletovska and Kriva Rivers (the Republic of North Macedonia), which
are directly influenced by the active mines Zletovo and Toranica, respectively.
Biological responses were analyzed in Vardar chub (Squalius vardarensis; Karaman,
1928), using for the first time intestinal cytosol as a potentially toxic cell
fraction, since metal sensitivity is mostly associated with cytosol. Cytosolic
metal levels were higher in fish under the influence of mining (Tl, Li, Cs, Mo,
Sr, Cd, Rb, and Cu in the Zletovska River and Cr, Pb, and Se in the Kriva River
compared to the Bregalnica River in both seasons). The same trend was evident
for total proteins, biomarkers of general stress, and metallothioneins, biomarkers
of metal exposure, indicating cellular disturbances in the intestine, the primary
site of dietary metal uptake. The association of cytosolic Cu and Cd at all locations
pointed to similar pathways and homeostasis of these metallothionein-binding metals.
Comparison with other indicator tissues showed that metal concentrations were
higher in the intestine of fish from mining-affected areas than in the liver and
gills. In general, these results indicated the importance of dietary metal pathways,
and cytosolic metal fraction in assessing pollution impacts in freshwater ecosystems.
acknowledgement: 'The authors are grateful to Dr. Nevenka Mikac for the opportunity
to perform metal measurements on HR ICP-MS. This research was funded by the Ministry
of Science, Education and Sport of the Republic of Croatia (projects No. 098–0982934-2721
and 098–1782739-2749). The sampling was carried out as a part of two Croatian-Macedonian
bilateral projects: “The assessment of availability and effects of metals on fish
in the rivers under the impact of mining activities” and “Bacterial and parasitical
communities of chub as indicators of the status of environment exposed to mining
activities.”'
