“…The average mean concentrations of lead shown in all the tissues were found to exceed the safety limits recommended by FAO [18]. This was also found to be far above the concentrations reported by other studies in the Mediterranean Sea on fish tissues [34,46,47]. [48].…”

This study assesses the likely health risks to human contamination of heavy metals from fish consumption. The analysis of the idea of fish destination and status (fishing area) for heavy metals was determined by the assessment of its risk limits (daily intake of metal and health risk index). Variations in the accumulation of heavy metals concentrations were between various tissues/organs (skin, muscle, gills, liver, intestine, kidneys, brain, and bones) across the batches of two fishing origins. Post hoc (Duncan) multicomparison shows that there are significant differences ( < 0.05) across batches. The concentrations of heavy metals analyzed, in the investigated tissues of Scomber scombrus, showed higher levels of heavy metals accumulations in the order: Fe > Hg > Pb > Cd > Ni and were above the recommended safety limits outlined by FAO/WHO. However, the consumer's health risk with the consumption of fish muscles tissues shows that there are greater tendencies for cadmium, lead, and mercury exposure. Also consumption of Scomber scombrus species above the recommended daily intake (stated in this study) might lead to ingestion of heavy metals at unacceptable concentrations.

“…Available reports indicate that the kidney, liver and gills were the critical targets for Cd in fishes [15][16][17] in which they have been reported to cause significant metabolic, biochemical and physiological effects. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the different fish tissues has been studied by several investigators [18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Objective: The present work was carried out to know the therapeutic role of zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca) supplementation to combat cadmium (Cd) induced toxicity in selected tissues of freshwater teleost, Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia) exposed to Cd. Methods:The freshwater fish, Oreochromis mossambicus (Tilapia) was brought from the local ponds and were allowed for acclimatization to the laboratory conditions. After acclimatization, fishes were exposed to 1/10 th of LC50/48 hr of Cd i.e.5 ppm for 7, 15 and 30days (d) long sojourn. After 15d Cd exposure, fish were divided into three groups. The 1 st Results: A significant (P<0.05) elevation was observed in bioaccumulation levels during Cd exposure. The high amount of Cd accumulation was found in 30d Cd-exposed kidney (22.353±0.410 µg/g) followed by other tissues. After supplementation with Zn and Ca, Cd accumulation was progressively decreased in all the test tissues. The maximum percentage of Cd depletion was found in 30d Ca-supplemented muscle tissue. group was supplemented with Zn at a dose of 1 ppm; Group-II was supplemented with Ca at the dose of 1 ppm and Group-III received a combination of both Zn and Ca at the above said doses for 7, 15 and 30d. After specific time intervals, fish were sacrificed and liver, kidney, brain, gill and muscle tissues were isolated in ice cold conditions. Then the tissues were used for bioaccumulation studies. Conclusion:Our findings clearly envisage that the Zn and/or Ca supplementation is very effective in reducing the Cd toxicity in the teleostean fish, Oreochromis mossambicus.

“…These variations are presumably due to individual samples being of different size categories, from different ecological niches, and from different trophic levels. Possibly, species also have different metabolic requirements for specific trace element (Soegianto et al, 2008). The present study exhibited significant spatial variation in metal level amongst the species, which may be due to variations in environmental conditions.…”

The study, which measured the concentrations of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd, in muscle tissue of 5 commercially important crustacean species (Penaeus monodon, Penaeus indicus, Penaeus semisulcatus, Penaeus marguensis and Metapenaeus brevicornis) collected from the UNESCO declared world heritage site Indian Sundarbans. The Indian Sundarbans at the apex of Bay of Bengal is recognized as one of the most diversified and productive ecosystems in the world located at the confluence of Hooghli-Matla estuarine complex. However, due to intense industrialization, urbanization and increase of anthropogenic activities in recent era, Indian Sundarbans have been contaminated with heavy metals which vary with seasons and often exhibit pronounced monsoonal effect. Significant variation of heavy metals in muscle tissue of 5 commercially important crustaceans or shrimp species collected from four different sampling stations (2 each in central and western sector) of Indian Sundarbans were observed. The distribution of trace metals accumulated in all the muscle tissues of shrimp species followed the order Zn > Cu> Pb> Cd. The concentration of metals exhibited significant spatial variation and followed the order station 1 >station 2 > station 3 > station 4, which may be related to different degree of contamination in different location (p < 0.01) that indicated the adverse impact of industrialization and urbanization on the edible crustaceans community. Although the concentration of selected heavy metals were within the normal range in all stations, but at station 1 the metal level has exceeded in the muscle of shrimp species as a food source for human consumption.
