Metals and Metallothioneins in Morelet’s Crocodile (Crocodylus moreletii) from a Transboundary River Between Mexico and Belize

The aim of this study was to determine concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium [Cd] and mercury [Hg]) and metallothioneins (MTs) in blood plasma and caudal scutes of Morelet’s crocodile ( Crocodylus moreletii ) from Rio Hondo, a river and natural border between Mexico and Belize.

description The aim of this study was to determine concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium [Cd] and mercury [Hg]) and metallothioneins (MTs) in blood plasma and caudal scutes of Morelet’s crocodile ( Crocodylus moreletii ) from Rio Hondo, a river and natural border between Mexico and Belize. Three transects of the river (approximately 20 km each) were surveyed in September 2012 and April 2013, and samples were collected from 24 crocodiles from these areas. In blood plasma, Cd (7.6 ± 9.6 ng/ml) was detected in 69 % of samples ( n  = 9); Hg (12.2 ± 9.2 ng/ml) was detected in 46 % of samples ( n  = 6); and MTs (10,900 ± 9,400 ng/ml) were detected in 92 % of samples ( n  = 12). In caudal scutes samples, Cd (31.7 ± 39.4 ng/g) was detected in 84 % of samples ( n  = 12) and Hg (374.1 ± 429.4 ng/g) in 83 % of samples ( n  = 20). No MTs were detected in caudal scutes. Hg concentrations in scutes from the Rio Hondo were 2- to 5-fold greater than those previously reported in scutes from other localities in northern Belize. In blood plasma, a significant positive relationship between Hg and body size was observed. Mean concentrations of Cd and MTs in size classes suggest that MTs may be related to Cd exposure. This is the first report of MT presence in crocodile blood.
