There is an increasing concern that aquaculture has been implicated in the formation of antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) reservoirs; however, little is known about the consequences of their presence in groundwater. In this study, 22 antibiotics, including four acetylated metabolites, and 27 ARGs were analyzed in fish pond water, surface water, and groundwater of the Honghu Lake in China. Correlations between conventional parameters, ionic composition, antibiotic concentration, and relative abundance of ARGs in water samples were analyzed. Among the three different sources of water, total antibiotic levels were the highest in fish pond water and the lowest in groundwater, with moderate levels in lake water. In surface water, sulfonamides and their metabolites accounted for the highest antibiotic content, whereas tetracyclines were the most frequently found in groundwater samples. Despite the near-undetectable levels of antibiotics in groundwater, the relative abundance of ARGs in groundwater samples was even higher than that in surface waters. The magnitude and extent of ARG migration are likely to be dependent on local antibiotic contamination levels as well as on the local environmental and hydrogeological conditions, with the class 1 integrons (intI1) being essential for the dissemination of such ARGs. The effects of environmental parameters such as antibiotics, dissolved oxygen, HCO3-, and pH on ARGs were highly significant, reflecting the potential impact of these factors on the abundance of ARGs. Our findings thus highlight the need for improved control of the spread of ARGs in and from aquaculture environments.
