Abstract

Aquaculture, specifically farmed fish, contributes to global aquatic fish stuff production. The present study systematically reviewed mercury levels in farmed fish. One hundred two scientific articles were found in four databases. Only seven were considered appropriate, and eleven articles were added. In total, 18 articles are eligible for this review. Papers determining Hg in farmed fish were reported in seven countries: China, Korea, Pakistan, India, Brazil, the USA, and Poland. Fifty species from farmed fish were evaluated worldwide, and Ctenopharyngodon idella Glass carp, Oreochromis niloticus Tilapia, and Hypophthalmichthys nobilis (synonym of Aristichthys nobilis) Bighead carp have registered the highest frequency. The mercury values found in fish from the production system were low. For the risk analysis, only India presented values within tolerable limits; however, Korea and Pakistan showed high values, indicating a potential risk of consuming protein from farmed fish in these countries. Therefore, farmed fish are not Hg-free but safer than fish in nature due to greater control of biotic and abiotic factors in ponds, thus contributing to sustainable, productive economic activity.

全球养殖鱼类中的汞含量：一项系统综述。

水产养殖，特别是养殖鱼类，为全球水产鱼原料生产做出了贡献。本研究系统地审查了养殖鱼类中的汞含量。在四个数据库中发现了102篇科学论文。只有7条被认为是适当的，并增加了11条。总共有18篇文章符合本综述的条件。在中国、韩国、巴基斯坦、印度、巴西、美国和波兰等七个国家报道了有关养殖鱼类中汞含量的论文。在世界范围内对50种养殖鱼类进行了评价，其中以玻璃鲤、罗非鱼和鳙鱼的频率最高。在生产系统中发现的鱼的汞含量很低。在风险分析方面，只有印度的数值在可容忍范围内；但是，韩国和巴基斯坦的蛋白质含量较高，这表明在这些国家食用养殖鱼类的蛋白质存在潜在风险。因此，养殖鱼类并非不含汞，但由于对池塘中的生物和非生物因素有更好的控制，因此比自然界的鱼类更安全，从而有助于可持续的生产性经济活动。

期刊介绍： Biological Trace Element Research provides a much-needed central forum for the emergent, interdisciplinary field of research on the biological, environmental, and biomedical roles of trace elements. Rather than confine itself to biochemistry, the journal emphasizes the integrative aspects of trace metal research in all appropriate fields, publishing human and animal nutritional studies devoted to the fundamental chemistry and biochemistry at issue as well as to the elucidation of the relevant aspects of preventive medicine, epidemiology, clinical chemistry, agriculture, endocrinology, animal science, pharmacology, microbiology, toxicology, virology, marine biology, sensory physiology, developmental biology, and related fields.
