Scardinius erythrophthalmus

Rudd Scardinius erythrophthalmus), a medium-sized cyprinid species, is an herbivorous the bulk of its diet consists of plants and algae. However, small invertebrates, such as nematodes, larvae of a freshwater shrimp Atyaephyra des-maresti), larvae of small, littoral chironomids Paratanytarsus sp. and Cricotopus flavocinctus), and particularly microcrustaceans such as ostracods, are included.

In a study of the distribution of Se in the fish Scardinius erythrophthalmus, an important food in Turkey, it was found that liver, spleen, kidney, digestive system and gall bladder retained the highest amounts of Se [74]. For humans, data on the Se concentration in the body organs of children and adults have been presented [75]. The highest levels in both adults and children were in the kidneys, liver and thyroid gland.
