Description
Nana Sun and a large team report a 2026 food-safety study of cadmium in mantis shrimp sold in Shanghai markets. The animal is a seasonal delicacy, and locals prize its roe and the rich hepatopancreas tissue. The team measured cadmium in five tissues across the shrimp's reproductive development stages using sensitive mass spectrometry.
Cadmium concentrated overwhelmingly in the hepatopancreas and intestine, at levels dozens of times higher than in muscle or gonads. Gonad levels stayed low at every stage and did not track reproductive development, suggesting a barrier in the outer gonad membrane shields the eggs. Risk assessment flagged eating intestine and hepatopancreas as a potential cancer concern. Muscle and roe, the most eaten parts, carried low risk, giving consumers targeted guidance.
