Carassius auratus gibelio

Biomarkers that demonstrate chromium exposure under field conditions is under active investigation. Laboratory studies with Prussian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio) exposed for 3 to 9 days to 25 to 100 pg Cr /L or 50 to 200 pg Cr+3/L show a dose-dependent increase in the frequency of micronuclei in erythrocytes, and this increase is considered indicative of increasing DNA damage (Al-Sabti et al. 1994). Similar increases in micronuclei were observed in Prussian carp from the River Ljubjanica near chromium-containing outfalls from leather waste products in the Republic of Slovenia (Al-Sabti et al. 1994). 

The highest levels of Cd in muscle tissue were found in fish Carassius auratus gibelio (0.19mg/kg-0.06 mg/kg), Perea fluviatilis (0.20 mg/kg-0.08 mg/kg) and were high the upper limit recommended for human consumption (0.05 mg/kg) (Figure 2).
