“…fish have the ability to accumulate heavy metals in their tissues at higher levels than environmental concentrations due to absorption along the gill surface and the kidney, liver, and gut tract wall 49 . Heavy metal accumulation by organisms can be passive or selective, and differences in heavy metal accumulation by organisms can be due to differences in assimilation, egestion, or both 50. Many studies estimated the concentration of some heavy metals (cadmium, lead, zinc, iron, manganese, selenium and nickel) in the mussels offish species and other aquatic biota collected from Euphrates river / middle of Iraq [51][52][53][54][55] . The results of the physicochemical properties of Musayyib River branched from Euphrates river revealtemporal and spatial variations during the study period, as well as seasonal and site-specific fluctuations in heavy metal concentrations.…”

This study estimated seven heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Cd, Cr) in water (dissolved and particulate phase), sediments and some aquatic organisms including two species from aquatic plants (Ceratophyllum demersum&Phragmites australis); one species of clam (Psedontopeses euphratics) and two species from fish (Oreochromis aureus& Leuciscus vorax)in four sites within Mashroo AL-Musayyib channel project/ branch of Euphrates river, Babylon , medial of Iraq . This aims to show the concentration of these elements, their fate and the mechanisms of their transmission through the food chain in this lotic aquatic system ; also in addition to examining some physicochemical properties of river water such as water temperature (WT),air temperature (AT),pH , electrical conductivity ( EC) , salinity ,total dissolved solid ( TDS), total solid suspended (TSS) , dissolved oxygen (DO) and biological oxygen demand ( BOD5) .The occurrence in heavy metals in water was found in the order in the Dissolved phase :-Zn> Fe > Cu> Ni>Pb> Cr > Cd, the zinc element recorded the highest rate in site two for spring season while the cadmium element recorded the lowest rate in site one for spring season. In the particulate phase:-Zn> Cu >Fe > Ni>Pb> Cr > Cd, the zinc element recorded the highest rate in site two for spring season while the cadmium element recorded the lowest rate in site four for spring season. The sediment order was Zn> Cu >Fe >Pb> Ni > Cd > Cr where the zinc element recorded the highest rate in site two for spring season where as the chromium element recorded the lowest rate in site two for spring. In aquatic plant the order was in C. demersum :Zn> Fe > Cu>Pb> Cr > Ni > Cd, the zinc element recorded the highest rate in site four for winter season while the cadmium element recorded the lowest rate in site one for autumn season. In P. australis: Zn> Fe > Cu>Pb> Cd > Ni > Cr , the zinc element recorded the highest rate in site two for spring season while the chromium element recorded the lowest rate in site two for spring season. In clam the order was: Zn> Fe > Cu> Ni >Pb> Cd > Cr where the zinc element recorded the highest rate in site two for spring season while the chromium recorded the lowest value in site 3 through winter 2021.In fish species (O. aureas) the order was Fe > Zn > Cu>Pb> Cr > Cd > Ni. The iron element recorded as the highest rate in site 2 in spring 2021 whilethe element that recorded the lowest rate was Ni in site 2for spring in L. vorax. The iron element recorded the highest rate in site one for summer season where as the Nickel was recorded a lower value in site four in spring2021.

“…Yet, previous studies from Iraq have detected low levels of cadmium in different locales (Al –Jubouri and Salman, 2019 ; Mensoor and Said, 2018 ). Moreover, a significantly high level was reported from Sulaimani city (Rashed, 2012 ). The concentrations of Cu, Mn, and Ni observed in the current study are significantly lower that found in the mentioned study conducted in Sulaimani city.…”

Food contamination with heavy metals may pose a serious threat to human health. Fishes are the most common seafood globally. This study aimed to evaluate the levels of heavy metals in different fishes sold in Erbil city markets. The targeted heavy metal elements were cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn). Seventeen dorsal meat samples were digested and subjected to metal analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry. Co, Mn, Cu and Se were detected in all samples, while cadmium was below the detectable level in all samples. The average concentrations of targeted trace elements were 0.03±0.016, 0.02±0.03, 0.07±0.08, 0.10±0.08, 0.03±0.03, and 2.90±3.33 mg/kg for cobalt, chromium, copper, manganese, nickel, and zinc, respectively. Lead was only found in one sample (5.88%). On the contrary, mercury was detected in all samples but in low concentration (0.14±0.07). All detected heavy metals with specified permissible limits by FAO/WHO were significantly lower than the permissible limits. Based on detected levels of targeted heavy metals, consumption of such fish has no potential risks to human.

“…Consequently, human health is threatened as a result of polluted water and also consumption of fish grown in such a contaminated environment. Many researchers have reported the contamination of heavy metals in different native and commercial fish (5)(6)(7)(8). Many heavy metals, including zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and copper (Cu), are essential minerals by contributing to biological reactions, but could be toxic in higher concentrations and cause several health problems.…”

The objective of the present study was to investigate the concentration of some heavy metals in the dorsal muscle, gills, and liver of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from the Dukan lake, Suleimani, Iraq, and its relationship with fish protein content. The sampling was carried out in both the summer and winter seasons of 2021. Fish samples were collected from the water of Dukan lake. Biometry analysis and determining of protein content were carried out. Moreover, the heavy metal concentrations were measured in different tissues and organs of fish (the dorsal muscle, gills, and liver). The metal concentration varied considerably among different tissues and organs. Overall, the mean metal concentration revealed an order of Zn > Fe > Cr > Cd > Cu > As > Pb. The mean concentrations of Zn and Pb were determined as the maximum and minimum concentrations of metals in the fish organs, respectively. Metal accumulation was higher in the gills and liver than in the muscle (except Cr). The content of protein showed a close relationship with some of the metal concentrations. The concentrations of metals like As, Cd, and Cu were higher during the summer than in the winter, except for Cr and Fe. Due to the concerns related to the adverse effects of heavy metals in fish meat on human health, investigation of the concentration of pollution and regular monitoring of the physicochemical and heavy metal contents and its relationship with those measured in fish is strongly recommended.
