ABSTRACT: Dietary uptake could be the primary route of arsenic (As) bioaccumulation in

23

marine fish, but the bioavailability of inorganic and organic As remains elusive. In this study, we

24

investigated the trophic transfer and bioavailability of As in herbivorous rabbitfish

25

Siganus fuscescens and carnivorous seabass Lateolabrax japonicus. Rabbitfish were fed with one

26

artificial diet or three macroalgae, whereas seabass were fed with one artificial diet, one

27

polychaete, or two bivalves for 28 days. The six spiked fresh prey diets contained different

28

proportions of inorganic As [As(III) and As(V)] and organic As compounds [methylarsenate

29

(MMA), dimethylarsenate (DMA), and arsenobetaine (AsB)], and the spiked artificial diet

30

mainly contained As(III) or As(V). We demonstrated that the trophic transfer factors (TTF) of As

31

in both fish were negatively correlated with the concentrations of inorganic As in the diets, while

32

there was no relationship between TTF and the AsB concentrations in the diets. Positive

33

correlation was observed between the accumulated As concentrations and the AsB concentrations

34

in both fish, suggesting that organic As compounds (AsB) were more trophically available than

35

inorganic As. Furthermore, the biotransformation ability of seabass was higher than that in

36

rabbitfish, which resulted in higher As accumulation in seabass than in rabbitfish. Our study

37

demonstrated that different prey with different inorganic/organic As proportions resulted in

38

diverse bioaccumulation of total As in different marine fish.

INTRODUCTION Arsenic (As) is a pervasive environmental toxin with worldwide human health implications

45

and its contamination in the environment has been widely reported. 1, 2 Arsenic is widely

46

distributed in all organisms, 3 and total As concentrations in marine fish are higher (1–10 μg/g)

47

than those in freshwater fish (90%), independent of the As speciation in the diet.

234

Moreover, the AsB proportion of total As in diets and different tissues followed the order of

235

diets< intestine ≤ liver < muscle (Supporting Information, Figure S1). In addition, in all exposed

236

treatments of rabbitfish except As(V) exposed artificial diets treatments and artificial diets

237

exposed treatments of seabass, the accumulated concentrations of AsB in the tissues followed the

238

pattern of diets < intestine < liver < muscle (Table 1; Supporting Information, Table S2; Table

239

S3). For instance, in the As(III) exposed G. lemaneiformis treatment for rabbitfish, through

240

calculation, ingestion rate was maintained constant at about 3% of fish body weight. The total

241

input of AsB through feed was 16.04 g (wet weight) ×3%×28 d×0.11 μg/g (AsB concentration in

242

food) =1.48 μg. If we assumed that the assimilation efficiency was 100% at the end of 28 d

243

exposure, the accumulated AsB concentration was 1.48 μg/17.9 g (wet weight by the end of 28

244

d)=0.083 μg/g, but the detected AsB concentration in muscle of rabbitfish was 1.97 μg/g.

245

Therefore, these results strongly suggested that biotransformation of As occurred in marine fish.

246

For simplicity, we compared the ratio of organic As to inorganic As in different tissues to

247

contrast the differences in biotransformation. Such ratios in different tissues of seabass were

248

relatively higher than those in rabbitfish, suggesting that the conversion ability in seabass was

249

higher than that in rabbitfish (Figure 1 C and D). For example, in the As(V) exposed artificial

250

diet in which the predominant form of As was As(V), while the ratios of organic As to inorganic

251

As were 0.72, 3.18, 8.84 in intestine, liver, and muscle tissues of rabbitfish, and those were 11.75,

252

14.35, 14.75 in intestine, liver, and muscle tissues of seabass, respectively.

DISCUSSION Bioavailability of Inorganic and Organic Arsenic in Fish. In our study, three tissues of

256

rabbitfish and seabass displayed no significant correlation between inorganic As concentrations

257

in fish and those in diets, except inorganic As in the intestine of rabbitfish. One possibility was

258

that inorganic As was transformed to organic As in the fish. In contrast, AsB in carnivorous

259

seabass was strongly correlated with those in diets (containing major AsB), indicating that AsB

10

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Environmental Science & Technology

260

was more trophically available (bioavailable) than inorganic As. One likely explanation for such

261

a correlation was that AsB was the final storage form of As in the fish tissues. Very few earlier

262

studies have compared the bioavailability of inorganic vs. organic As. Kirby and Maher 33

263

investigated the accumulation and distribution of As compound in marine fish species in relation

264

to their trophic position. They speculated that As compounds present in fish tissues may be

265

different depending on trophic position (diet) and/or their association with marine sediments.

266

Pelagic carnivorous fish species exposed mainly to AsB through their diet accumulated this

267

compound in their tissues.14, 34 However, the intestine of rabbitfish displayed significant

268

correlation between inorganic As concentrations in fish and those in diets, mainly because

269

intestine was the extrinsic digestive part, which was likely influenced by the surrounding

270

environment (or biotransformation was low).

271

We observed an inverse relationship between the TTF and inorganic As concentrations in diets.

272

Inverse correlations between the TTF and metal (such as Cd, Pb and Zn) concentrations in prey

273

were previously found in juvenile fish T. jarbua and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss35, 36, but

274

such correlation had not been tested for inorganic As. The potential for metal trophic transfer can

275

be described by the equation: TTF= (AE × IR)/ke, where AE represents the assimilation

276

efficiency from ingested prey, IR is the ingestion rate of the predator, and ke is the efflux rate

277

constant. This equation expressed theoretically the positive relationship between TTF and AE or

278

IR but a negative relationship with ke. In this study, IR was maintained constant at about 3% of

279

the body weight. Therefore, any change in TTF was likely due to changes of AE and ke. A lower

280

TTF at a higher inorganic As burden suggested a somewhat less complete digestion and

281

assimilation in the fish or more efficient elimination of As. One possible mechanism was that

282

inorganic As was less efficiently assimilated by the limited number of transporters on the

283

intestine epithelium. Alternatively, the biotransformation process may influence the assimilation

284

of inorganic As. At high external inorganic As concentrations, biotransformation may be

285

facilitated when inorganic As uptake became saturated. Whaley-Martin et al.37 found that high

286

proportions of inorganic As might result from saturation of biochemical pathways responsible for

287

the transformation of inorganic arsenicals (from food, water, and /or sediment) into AsB and

288

other complex organoaresenicals. Earlier studies reported that once inorganic As was inside the

289

cells, As(V) was removed by several reactions and transformations, including competition with

290

phosphate, binding to polyphosphates (i.e., adenosine diphosphate, ADP), hydrolysis, and

11

291

enzymatic reduction. 38, 39 Thus, reduction in TTF with increasing exposure concentration

292

appeared to be driven mostly by changes in As AE or biotransformation instead of elimination.

293

There was no relationship between TTF and AsB concentrations in diets, suggesting that TTF

294

was not influenced by the AsB burden. Presumably, these compounds passed more easily

295

through the apical membranes of the epithelial cells of the digestive organs than inorganic As. It

296

is possible that AsB is taken up via the glycine betaine transport system of marine fish, and does

297

not participate in metabolism processes. In other words, the marine fish receiving AsB in their

298

diets accumulated As in this form without further metabolizing it. Thus, our present study

299

demonstrated that As transfer along the food chain was influenced by prey types containing

300

different As species, in which AsB was assimilated more easily than inorganic As along the food

301

chain. Very few studies have quantified the bioavailability of inorganic As and organic As in

302

marine fish. Earlier studies have simply reported the As bioaccumulation in organisms following

303

dietborne As exposure. For instance, yelloweye mullet Aldrichetta forsteri fed upon a range of

304

As compounds had low retention of As(V) in their muscle tissues, whereas fish that received

305

either AsB or AsC had elevated levels of As in their muscles. 40

306

In our study, As did not biomagnify in the marine fish, consistent with earlier studies in

307

aquatic food chain. 14, 15, 18, 41, 42 Maher et al. 14 found no evidence of biomagnification of As in

308

two Zostera capricorni seagrass ecosystems. Zhang et al.18 suggested that As did not biomagnify

309

in a marine juvenile fish T. jarbua due to the very low AE and the relatively high ke. However,

310

feeding on different diets might affect As biomagnification potential in marine fish.

311

Biomagnification can occur in some ecosystems as evidenced by gastropods in rocky intertidal

312

systems. 43

313

After dietary exposure, the bioavailability of AsB was higher than inorganic As, and AsB

314

contributed to the accumulation of total As in marine fish. Hong et al. 44 investigated the in situ

315

bioaccumulation of As in various aquatic organisms in a highly industrialized area of Pohang

316

City, Korea. AsB was the most dominant form of As in fish, bivalves, crabs, and shrimps, and

317

was directly proportional to the total concentration of As in their tissues. In our study, positive

318

correlation was observed between the newly accumulated As concentration and the ratio of

319

organic As (subtracting the background concentrations)/inorganic As in seabass (Supporting

320

Information, Figure S2). Thus, following the absorption in the intestine, the bioaccumulation of

321

As compounds may be altered by biotransformation, leading to dramatic changes in the

12

Environmental Science & Technology

322

bioaccumulation. Therefore, As biotransformation could influence the bioaccumulation of As in

323

marine fish.

324 325

Arsenic Bioaccumulation and Biotransformation in Fish. Our study demonstrated that the

326

potential of As bioaccumulation in seabass was higher than that in rabbitfish. Such high

327

bioaccumulation in carnivorous seabass may be attributed to its prey types. Different prey

328

contained different proportions of inorganic As and organic As compounds, and the diets of

329

seabass contained more AsB than rabbitfish. AsB could be more efficiently transmitted than

330

inorganic As along the food chain. Therefore, our findings again confirmed the relative

331

significance of prey type in regard to As bioaccumulation in marine fish. The observed

332

interspecific differences in wild-caught fish found in previous studies may be explained by

333

differences in diet among species. 45 The herbivorous cyprinids and carnivore fish species

334

exhibited significantly different abilities to accumulate As in their body organs, with the

335

maximum As concentration of 4.01 µg/g recorded in a carnivorous fish Wallago attu, and the

336

minimum one (2.12 µg/g) in a herbivorous fish Catla catla. 46 Therefore, variation of As

337

concentration among fish species could be attributed to prey type including different As species.

338

On the other hand, such high bioaccumulation may be explained by the higher

339

biotransformation ability in seabass than that in rabbitfish. When both fish feeding on artificial

340

diets containing mainly As(V), for example, more As(V) was biotransformed into organic As by

341

seabass, leading to more As accumulated in seabass compared with rabbitfish. The fish may

342

adapt and regulate when different As species pass through the body. One possibility is that they

343

biotransform As to less toxic forms or reduce the toxic As accumulation, which may be

344

responsible for the higher bioaccumulation in seabass than that in rabbitfish. Cockell 47 reported

345

that with continued exposure to dietborne As, epithelial cells in the hepatobiliary system must

346

undergo an adaptation in order to allow them to regenerate. Such adaptation may occur by the

347

increase of metabolic transformation of As to a less toxic form, or the reduction of net

348

accumulation by decreasing uptake or increasing excretion of As. Until now, limited data have

349

been available for the comparison of bioaccumulation with some information of

350

biotransformation. Therefore, it would be interesting to use radiotracer studies to quantify the

351

relationship between As bioaccumulation and As speciation in a future study.

352

This study examined the trophic transfer and bioavailability of As in two typical marine fish,

13

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

353

herbivorous rabbitfish and carnivorous seabass feeding on different prey types with different

354

proportions of inorganic As and organic As compounds. We demonstrated that different diets had

355

significant effects on As bioavailability and bioaccumulation in marine fish. The bioavailability

356

of AsB was higher than that of inorganic As. Inorganic As in both fish was difficult to be

357

transmitted along the food chain, due to their biotransformation in the fish tissue rather than

358

direct accumulation. While AsB was more assimilated than inorganic As, possibly because AsB

359

passed more easily through the apical membranes of the cells of the digestive organs, and was

360

the final storage form of As in the fish tissues. Therefore, differential bioavailability of inorganic

361

and organic As contributed to their different bioaccumulation in marine fish.
