About 60 papers and reports dealing with heavy metal contents in different eel species were reviewed in order to document various patterns of uptake, elimination and accumulation of these metals and to underline their detrimental effects (lethality, histo-pathology). Two main toxicological topics were considered: observations on contaminant levels in eels taken from the wild, mainly from contamined waters, and experimental studies under laboratory conditions.
Résumé
Une synthèse présentée porte sur les modalités de contamination et d'accumulation des métaux lourds sur les diverses espèces d'anguilles, afin de souligner les effets toxiques de ces polluants (létalité, histocytopathologie). Deux thèmes principaux ont été considérés: études des anguilles des milieux naturels contaminés, et expériences de contamination en laboratoire.
Key words: Anguilla / heavy metal / toxicology
