Summary: Both age and sex of crayfish have significant effects on the accumulation of Ca, Cu, and Zn in the muscle and exoskeleton. The concentrations of these metals in the muscle and exoskeleton are influenced by physicochemical and biological factors. The consumption of spiny-cheek crayfish meat is safe in terms of the analyzed metal content.

Summary: The study characterized the meat of invasive spiny-cheek crayfish, finding it to be highly nutritious and a potential alternative to livestock meat. Due to its favorable fatty acid and amino acid profiles, as well as balanced mineral content, crayfish meat has drawn attention from the food industry. Additionally, the culinary value of crayfish meat, with its delicateness, mild flavor, and odor, makes it appealing to a wide range of consumers.

Summary: This paper reports the first occurrence record of Faxonius limosus in two North-western Italian lakes, Orta and Mergozzo, and confirms its presence in Lake Maggiore. Faxonius limosus, native to the east coast of the USA, was introduced to Europe in the late 19th century and rapidly spread in several countries. The study discovers 31 new occurrence localities for F. limosus in the three lakes, highlighting the need for monitoring and management programs to prevent its further spread and mitigate ecological impacts.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of dam reservoirs on the body condition of invasive Faxonius limosus. The results showed that reservoirs have a positive allometric effect on the growth of females, but have a less significant impact on males. Contrary to expectations, reservoirs do not provide more favorable habitat conditions for F. limosus compared to natural aquatic environments.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of coagulants on the bioaccumulation of metal elements in crayfish and assess the associated health risks. The results showed that exposure to the coagulant affected the bioaccumulation of metals, with an increase in aluminum concentration and a decrease in calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and copper concentrations.

Summary: This study analyzed the body shape and scale shape of three fish species in the constant watercourses of the suburban region of Budapest using geometric morphometric methods. Significant connections were found between shape and PhACs concentrations, with four PhACs affecting fish body and scale shape. Risk assessment showed that citalopram posed high risk, while propranolol and codeine posed medium risk, and trimetazidine posed low risk level. Additionally, seven other PhACs were categorized with a high risk level, but only citalopram was found to affect fish phenotype amongst the PhACs posing high risk.

Summary: This study conducted a phylogenetic investigation on stream-dwelling freshwater fish (Gobio spp.) individuals collected from the data-deficient Southeastern Carpathian area, discovering seven newly described haplotypes and identifying two valid species (G. obtusirostris, G. gobio) and a haplogroup with doubtful phylogenetic position G. sp. 1. The distribution patterns of the detected lineages align with recent and paleo hydrogeographic features in the Middle-Danubian area.

Summary: Lake Balaton, the largest shallow lake in Central Europe, is affected by the Zala River. The Kis-Balaton Water Protection System (KBWPS) was constructed to improve water quality, but toxic cyanobacterial blooms were still observed. The KBWPS acts as a significant buffering zone, protecting the water quality of Lake Balaton. Regular monitoring of cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins in this ecosystem is crucial.

Summary: A global approach is needed to identify invasive non-native species that pose a high risk to native species and ecosystems. By using a multi-lingual decision-support tool, assessors can classify aquatic organisms into different risk categories under current and predicted climate conditions, aiding in decision-making for management and policy.

Summary: This study focused on the occurrence, distribution, and environmental risk of 111 PhACs and 7 trace elements in small streams in the urbanizing region of Budapest, Hungary. Carbamazepine was the most frequently identified PhAC in water, while Lidocaine was the most frequently occurring PhAC in sediment. The study found that PhAC concentrations were independent of the distance from the WWTP effluents, and diclofenac had the highest environmental risk in the sampling area.

Summary: The study evaluated the chronic effects of the anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine (CBZ) and progesterone (P4) on zebrafish at environmentally relevant concentrations. The results indicated a synergistic effect of CBZ and P4, highlighting the potential risk to fish reproduction if these pharmaceuticals co-occur.
