Silver carp mediated biological control techniques are often advocated for controlling cyanobacteria blooms in eutrophic water, which are often enriched with arsenic (As). However, the transfer and fate of As during the biological control of cyanobacteria blooms by silver carp in As-rich eutrophic water remain unclear. Based on the simulated ecosystem experiment, the accumulation of As in silver carp and the transfer and fate of As in the water-algae-silver carp system during Microcystis aeruginosa blooms controlled by silver carp were investigated. Microcystis aeruginosa showed high tolerance to As(V). The accumulation of As in different tissues of silver carp was different, as follows: intestine > liver > gill > skin > muscle. After silver carp ingested As-rich Microcystis aeruginosa, As accumulation in the intestine, liver, gill, and skin of silver carp was enhanced under the action of digestion and skin contact. Compared with the system without algal, As accumulation in the intestine, liver, gill, and skin of silver carp increased by 1.1, 3.3, 3.3, and 9.6 times, respectively, after incubation for 30 days in the system with Microcystis aeruginosa, while the accumulation of As in the muscle was only slightly increased by 0.56 mg/kg. This work revealed the transfer and fate of As during algal control by silver carp, elucidated the accumulation mechanism of As in water-algae-silver carp system, enriched our understanding of As bioaccumulation and transformation in As-rich eutrophication water, and provided a scientific basis for assessing and predicting As migration and enrichment in water-algae-silver carp system.
