“…Active metabolic tissues, such as the kidneys, gills, and liver, accumulate more heavy metals than less metabolically active tissues, such as the muscles and skin (Ali et al, 2019). Generally, muscles store the lowest amount of heavy metals (Ronagh et al, 2009). These results are nearly similar to those reported by Badr et al (2014), who concluded that the level of heavy metals in Nile Tilapia tissues were higher in the liver than in gills and muscle.…”

“…Fish muscle is chosen as it is the part which is consumed by people (Agusa et al 2005;Zauke et al 1999), Muscle, generally, accumulates the lowest level of heavy metals (Ronagh et al 2009). In order to compare dry weight values (present study) with wet weight values of other studies, a conversion factor of 5.88 (1/0.17) was applied (Yap et al 2004).…”

“…The Cu level in gills and muscle was the highest in fish collected in August 7.27 ± 2.78 and 3.40 ± 0.76 µg/g dw, respectively, whereas Cu level in gills and muscle was the lowest in fish collected in April, which were 1.41 ± 0.06 and 1.28 ± 0.05 µg/g dw, respectively (Tables 4, 5). Meanwhile, previous studies have reported Cu levels of 2.07 µg/g dw in fish muscle (Ronagh et al 2009), 0.76 to 12.52 µg/g dw in muscle of 15 fish species from Lake Chini, Pahang, Malaysia (data converted to dry weight) (Ahmad & Shuhaimi-Othman 2010 …”

“…These factors include; i) the season, ii) decomposing trace metal -containing organic matter content, iii) lowering of pH, iv) changing redox conditions, v) increased salt conditions (Stumm and Morgan, 1996). Concentration of metals in sediments is dependent on the season to some extent according to a study by Ronagh et al (2009). The authors showed that the differences in sediment-metal concentrations among different seasons were not significant (p>0.05) though the variations showed higher concentration in the summer season than other seasons.…”

“…Fish are widely used as biomonitors as they are at the top of the food chain in aquatic ecosystems and hence tend to bioaccumulate high concentrations of toxins from the environment through the process of biomagnification (Ronagh et al, 2009). Biomonitors are organisms that generally accumulate heavy metals to concentrations that are relatively easy to measure since they concentrate the metals over several orders of magnitude above ambient water levels (Sarkar et al, 2008).…”
