Differences in organochlorine accumulation accompanying life history in the catadromous eel Anguilla japonica and the marine eel Conger myriaster

In order to examine the ecological risk for organic pollutants in diadromous fish migrating between sea and freshwater, organochlorine compounds (OCs) were determined in the catadromous eel Anguilla japonica having marine, estuarine and freshwater residence life histories.

520 |a In order to examine the ecological risk for organic pollutants in diadromous fish migrating between sea and freshwater, organochlorine compounds (OCs) were determined in the catadromous eel Anguilla japonica having marine, estuarine and freshwater residence life histories. The eels were collected in Japanese coastal areas. We also compared the OCs accumulation with the marine eel Conger myriaster, which has a similar life history as A. japonica in the marine environment. The ontogenic changes in the otolith strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) concentrations were examined along the life history transect to discriminate the migration type. There were generally three different patterns, which were categorized as 'marine residence' (spent most of their life in the sea and did not enter freshwater), 'estuarine residence' (inhabited estuaries or switched between different habitats), and 'freshwater residence' (entered and remained in freshwater river habitats after arrival in the estuary) according to the otolith Sr:Ca ratio. There were generally no correlations between OCs such as Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs), Hexachlorobenzene (HCB), Hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and Chlordanes (CHLs) accumulation and each biological characteristic such as TL, BW and age in A. japonica. A positive correlation between the lipid content and concentrations of OCs were found. Additionally, the concentrations of HCB, ∑HCHs, ∑CHLs and ∑DDTs in A. japonica were significantly higher than those of C. myriaster, associating with the higher lipid contents (14% on average) in the former than the latter eels (9% on average). A negative linear relationship was found between the otolith Sr:Ca ratios and concentration of each OCs in A. japonica. The ecological risk of OCs increase as the freshwater residence period in the eel becomes longer. It is clear that migratory histories and lipid contents directly affected OCs accumulation in the anguillid eels
