“…Almost no data were available to compare muscle and whole body concentrations, and liver to whole body comparisons were rarely reported. Comparisons of slopes (Table 6) of the relationships between liver and muscle and indicated that the relationships were not consistent between this study and literature values for common carp and white sucker (Bendell-Young and Harvey, 1989;Bradley and Morris, 1986;Harrison and Klavercamp, 1990;Miklovics et al, 1985;Sreedevi et at., 1992;Stripp et at., 1990;Suresh et at., 1993). Only the slopes of the relationship between concentrations in the liver and muscle tissue for nickel were not significantly different (t-test, P < 0.05).…”

Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) collected from four sites in the Red River of the North in 1994 were analyzed for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), nickel (Ni), selenium (So), and zinc (Zn). Concentrations differed among liver, muscle, and whole body. Generally, trace element concentrations were the greatest in livers while concentrations in whole bodies were greater than those in muscle for Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, and concentrations in muscle were similar to whole body for As and Se. Concentrations of Cr were lower in liver than either muscle or whole body. Correlations between liver and whole body concentrations were stronger than those between liver and muscle concentrations, but the strongest correlations were between muscle and whole body concentrations. Examination of tissue concentrations by collection sites suggested that, for a general survey, the whole body may be the most effective matrix to analyze.

“…After dissection, all the tissue samples were separately oven-dried to constant weight at 105±20°C and were each ground to powder. The powdered samples were digested according to Sreedevi et al [9] . One gram of each sample was digested using 1.5.1 mixture of 70% perchloric acid, concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulphuric acid at 80±5°C in a fume chamber, until colorless liquid was obtained.…”

Problem statement: Al-Khadoud Spring is one of the largest spring in Al-Hassa governorate (Saudi Arabia). Due to the extended domestic activities and urbanization as well as the continuous industrial and agricultural growth of the region, spring water quality is potentially changing. Approach: This study was conducted to measure toxic heavy metal concentrations in water and fish samples along the spring channel. Filtered spring water and tissues (liver and muscle) of captured fish were analyzed for heavy metals in an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer equipped with a Varian Model. Results: The concentrations of metals in water were found in the following order: Fe 2+ >Zn 2+ >Cu 2+ >Pb 2+ >Mn 2+ >Cd 2+ . The levels of heavy metals recorded in water in this study were generally low, when compared to WHO and USEPA recommended levels in water, except iron which was found to be higher than the recommended levels. In fish samples collected from the polluted spring, metal levels were significantly higher than the levels in water, indicating bioaccumulation. The highest levels of metals were generally reported in fish liver than muscle. Hepatic metal levels were ranked as follow: Zn 2+ >Cu 2+ >Pb 2+ >Cd 2+ . Conclusion: The present results showed that, the fishes, based on the higher levels of metal bioaccumulation, could be unsafe for human consumption. Consequently, very close monitoring of heavy metal loads in Al-Khadoud spring is recommended in view of the possible risks to health of consumers.

This study assessed and monitored the concentrations of Cu, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb in the gills, offal, muscle and liver of a commercially important mudfish (Parachanna obscura) from Ogba River, Benin City, Nigeria between January and December, 2005. The same metals were also determined in the water of the river. The results revealed that the concentrations of all the metals in the tissues (offal, gills, muscle and liver) were higher than the concentrations of the metals in water and indicated bioaccumulation. The concentrations of all the metals in water were below WHO and FEPA recommended limits and suggested that the water of Ogba River was suitable for drinking, but the concentrations of Cu, Mn, Cr, Ni and Pb in all fish tissues exceeded these limits and indicated that the fishes of Ogba River, as far as these metals were concerned, were unfit for human consumption. Consequently, close monitoring of metals pollution and the consumption of the fishes of Ogba River is recommended with a view to minimizing the risks to health of the population that depend on the river for their water and fish supply.
