In this study, the total content of REEs ranged from 1.32 to 67.74 &mu:g/kg, with a predominant presence of light REEs. The &Delta:Eu and &Delta:Ce values, which exceeded and approached 1, respectively, indicated positive Eu anomalies and low Ce anomalies. Wild fish were categorized into high-, medium-, and low-REEs-bioaccumulation groups using cluster analysis. Higher LRs/HRs and &Delta:Eu values, coupled with lower &Delta:Ce values, in fish from the high-bioaccumulation group suggested that increased bioaccumulation mitigated fractionation. Omnivorous fish with higher REEs levels and lower LRs/HRs indicated broader feeding sources may enhance REE bioaccumulation and diminish fractionation. Elevated REEs concentrations and LRs/HRs in demersal fish highlighted a preferential accumulation of light REEs in the benthic environment. Smaller fish with higher REEs levels but lower LRs/HRs were likely associated with complex feeding sources. Regression analysis revealed that fish with lengths and weights of less than 18 cm and 130 g, respectively, were more susceptible to REEs bioaccumulation. Despite higher ADI values indicating a greater risk for children and Pelteobagrus fulvidraco, all ADI values within 70 &mu:g/(kg·:d) suggested that fish consumption poses no risk. This study confirmed that the fractionation of REEs in fish can be used to trace their bioconversion.
