“…Heavy metals are taken up and accumulated by aquatic organisms both from the surrounding medium and via food sources (deep-sea carnivorous fish in particular accumulate metals in their muscles via the food chain). The extent of heavy metal accumulation is affected by external (dissolved metals, physicochemistry, dissolved oxygen, interactions between metals, sediment, food, seasonal effects, geographical differences) and internal (individual variability, body size and development stage, sex, breeding condition, brooding, moulting and growth, behaviour) factors [2,3].Many species of marine benthic fish are largely being used to assess the quality of aquatic environments because they could concentrate large amounts of some metals in different tissues such as muscle and gills [4,5].

Heavy metals are of particular concern due to their toxicity and bioaccumulation ability in aquatic ecosystems and aquatic organisms. In general, they are not biodegradable and have long biological halflives. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heavy metals must be controlled in food sources in order to assure public safety [1]. Heavy metals are taken up and accumulated by aquatic organisms both from the surrounding medium and via food sources (deep-sea carnivorous fish in particular accumulate metals in their muscles via the food chain). The extent of heavy metal accumulation is affected by external (dissolved metals, physicochemistry, dissolved oxygen, interactions between metals, sediment, food, seasonal effects, geographical differences) and internal (individual variability, body size and development stage, sex, breeding condition, brooding, moulting and growth, behaviour) factors [2,3].Many species of marine benthic fish are largely being used to assess the quality of aquatic environments because they could concentrate large amounts of some metals in different tissues such as muscle and gills [4,5]. The gills are considered the main site of entry for the dissolved metals. They are sensitive to any change of water components and serve as a good indicator of water quality since gill filaments and lamellae provide a very large surface area for direct and continuous contact with contaminants Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 24, No. 4 (2015), 1743-1748 AbstractIn the present study, the concentration of cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe) in the gill and muscle tissues of four benthic fish species (Merluccius merluccius, Lophius budegassa, Helicolenus dactylopterus, and Chlorophthalmus agassizi) from the northeastern Mediterranean Sea in Turkey were investigated. From the obtained results, the heavy metal concentrations in muscle were lowest and highest in the gills for each species. Cd was not detected in any tissues of the species. The order of heavy metal concentrations were found as Zn>Fe>Cu>Pb=Cd in muscle tissue samples for four selected fish species (p<0.05). In the muscle tissue, the highest concentration of Zn (5.875 μg/g) was found in Lophius budegassa. The concentrations of heavy metals in gills of four selected fish species were Fe>Zn>Cu>Pb>Cd (p<0.05). In the gills, the highest concentration of Fe (73.730 μg/g) was also found in Lophius budegassa. The comparison of our results with previous studies showed that the metal levels of tissues are variable in organisms caught from the same area. In our study, the concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Fe in the muscle tissue are less than the permissible limits set for heavy metals by food regulations.

“…Hence, we must be sure that fish and seafood are not contaminated with heavy metals and do not exceed their acceptance limits is crucial for both human health and environmental sustainability (Sabbir et al, 2018). Several marine fish species serve as bioindicators to assess the quality of aquatic environments because they can accumulate significant amounts of certain metals in their various tissues (Farombi et al, 2007;Safahieh et al, 2011). Therefore, utilization of several fish species as bioindicators of heavy metal pollution in environmental monitoring studies has been widely recognized and emphasized in recent years by numerous investigators and researchers (Chen-Yi et al, 2001;Yılmaz, 2003;Dural et al, 2007;Yılmaz et al, 2007;Uysal et al, 2008;El-Moselhy et al, 2014;Khezri et al, 2014;Külcü et al, 2014;Oguz and Yeltekin, 2014;Gu et al, 2017;Anser and Benamal, 2018;Astani et al, 2018).…”

This study investigates the presence and concentrations of ten specific heavy metals in the muscle tissues and gonads of three commercially important marine fish species: Garfish (Belone belone), European barracuda (Sphyraena sphyraena), and Anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius) collected from the Aegean Sea in Türkiye. The results indicate variations in metal accumulation, both between genders and among species. The fish species tend to accumulate higher levels of heavy metals in their gonads than in muscle tissues (p<0.05). While Cr, Cd, and Pb were not detected, Zn, Cu, and Fe are the predominant metals in muscle tissues due to their essential biological roles. However, within toxic elements, Hg was predominant, and L. piscatorius, a benthic fish, exceeded its recommended safety limits. A health risk assessment suggests that except for L. piscatorius, consuming these fish species from the Aegean Sea is generally safe, with estimated weekly intake (EWI) values below permissible limits. Total Hazard Quotient (THQ) values for most metals are below 1, indicating no significant non-carcinogenic health risks for consumers. This study emphasizes the critical need for regularly monitoring heavy metal levels in marine fish from the Aegean Sea, Turkiye. While overall safety in consuming these fish is highlighted, exceptions exist, notably concerning Hg levels in L. piscatorius. Therefore, persistent monitoring of heavy metal concentrations, especially in L. piscatorius, is advised to ensure ongoing safety and mitigate potential risks of metal accumulation.

“…A wide range of techniques have been used for determining of trace heavy metals such as inductively coupled plasmaatomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) 8 , inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) 9 , inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) 10 , X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis (CE) 11 , atomic absorption spectrometry by graphite furnace (AAS-GF) 12 and Flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) 13 . Flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) has been shown to be a promising technique for the determination of trace heavy metals in view of its low costs and easy usage 14 .…”

The present work describes a microwave digestion procedure by using new convenient digestion mixture (nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide) to determine manganese, zinc, copper, iron and nickel in (Tilapia and Cyprinus carpio) fish samples, breeding in artificial lakes, employing flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The optimization conditions involving the factors: amount of fish, microwave power and power time were studied. The experiments of this factorial were carried out using two species of local fish which are common consumed in Syria. The proposed method was used to determine the precedent metals in muscle, skin and tail in the two species fish (Tilapia and Cyprinus carpio). The relative standard deviations of the method were found to be less than 5 % for the five studied elements. The concentration results for manganese, iron, zinc, copper and nickel in Cyprinus carpio fish species varied between 1.
