摘要

Abstract

This study investigates the variations of microcystins (MCs) in water

cyanobacterial blooms

sediment

and aquatic organisms collected from the Dau Tieng Reservoir (DTR). Vietnam. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to measure MC concentrations in various target samples. Results indicate that

Microcystis

spp. dominates as the primary MC producer in the DTR. The average concentrations of analyzed MCs in surface water ranged from 1.10 to 5.54 µg/L

temporally and spatially. In sediment

average concentrations varied from 0.15 to 1.13 µg/g wet weight (WW) temporally and from 0.41 to 0.72 µg/g WW spatially. MCs were detected in different organs of fish species (

Oreochromis

sp. and

Labiobarbus

sp.) and in the entire soft tissues of bivalve (

Corbicula

sp.) and gastropod (

Assiminea

sp.). The highest observed MC concentration in July was 0.83±0.22 µg/g WW in the intestines of fish

Oreochromis

sp. The presence of MCs in grass shrimp

Palaemonetes

sp. was observed solely in June

reaching a concentration of 0.28±0.19 µg/g WW. This is the first report of MC accumulation in the

grass shrimp

Palaemonetes

sp. during field collection. For the bivalve

Corbicula

sp.

the presence of analyzed MCs was consistent throughout the study period

except for March and September

with the highest concentrations in July at 0.77±0.1 µg/g WW. Pearson correlation analysis revealed significant positive correlations between MCs in water and sediment with MC concentrations in aquatic animals

indicating the potential transfer of MCs across different trophic levels. The estimated daily intake values for analyzed MCs indicate that fish collected from the DTR are considered safe for consumption

as long as only the edible organs

such as the muscle

are consumed. However

bivalves or gastropods collected from the DTR are not safe for human consumption. This study underscored the importance of monitoring MC accumulation in aquatic animals used as food to mitigate adverse effects on human health.
