Abstract In this study, we examine multiple trophic levels in two Central European rivers (the Dyje and Elbe) to assess whether round goby invasion has changed the pattern of total mercury (Hg) transfer through trophic levels. In the absence of comparable historical data, we also examined levels for European gudgeon, a native benthic species occupying a similar trophic niche to round goby. Our data clearly indicated bioaccumulation of total Hg with increasing trophic position in both rivers. Patterns were very similar in both rivers, with no significant difference in total Hg accumulation between round goby and gudgeon. Biomagnification factors were high for gobies (highest in the Elbe) and relatively low for perch (higher in the Dyje), with levels for burbot (Dyje only) similar to those for gobies. Goby dietary analysis revealed a clear preference for benthic macroinvertebrates in both rivers, with zebra mussels taken only occasionally. Both perch and burbot had an omnivorous diet, effectively “diluting” total Hg accumulation from benthivorous fish. Our results indicate that goby invasion has not altered the pattern of trophic contaminant transfer and, consequently, has not increased threat levels to top predators and humans. Our results corroborate findings from around Europe suggesting a preference for macroinvertebrates over zebra mussels and provide further evidence for case-specificity regarding potential round goby impacts on recipient systems.

引入侵入性圆形虾虎鱼(Neogobius melanostomus)后两条欧洲河流中的营养汞生物放大模式

摘要 在这项研究中,我们检查了两条中欧河流(戴耶河和易北河)的多个营养级,以评估圆形虾虎鱼入侵是否改变了通过营养级的总汞 (Hg) 转移模式。在缺乏可比历史数据的情况下,我们还检查了欧洲鱼的水平,这是一种与圆形虾虎鱼占据相似营养生态位的本土底栖物种。我们的数据清楚地表明,随着两条河流中营养位置的增加,总汞的生物积累。两条河流的模式非常相似,圆形虾虎鱼和金鱼之间的总汞积累没有显着差异。虾虎鱼的生物放大系数较高(易北河最高),而鲈鱼的生物放大系数相对较低(戴耶河较高),江鱼(仅戴耶)的水平与虾虎鱼相似。虾虎鱼饮食分析显示,两条河流中对底栖大型无脊椎动物的偏好明显,斑马贻贝只是偶尔被捕获。鲈鱼和江豚都是杂食性饮食,有效地“稀释”了底栖鱼类的总汞积累。我们的结果表明,虾虎鱼入侵并没有改变营养污染物转移的模式,因此也没有增加对顶级捕食者和人类的威胁水平。我们的结果证实了来自欧洲各地的发现,表明大型无脊椎动物比斑马贻贝更受欢迎,并为有关虾虎鱼对受体系统的潜在影响的病例特异性提供了进一步的证据。有效地“稀释”底栖鱼类的总汞积累。我们的结果表明,虾虎鱼入侵并没有改变营养污染物转移的模式,因此也没有增加对顶级捕食者和人类的威胁水平。我们的结果证实了来自欧洲各地的发现,表明大型无脊椎动物比斑马贻贝更受欢迎,并为有关虾虎鱼对受体系统的潜在影响的病例特异性提供了进一步的证据。有效地“稀释”底栖鱼类的总汞积累。我们的结果表明,虾虎鱼入侵并没有改变营养污染物转移的模式,因此也没有增加对顶级捕食者和人类的威胁水平。我们的结果证实了来自欧洲各地的发现,表明大型无脊椎动物比斑马贻贝更受欢迎,并为有关虾虎鱼对受体系统的潜在影响的病例特异性提供了进一步的证据。
