“…Chacunda gizzard shad feeds on diatoms, radiolarians, molluscs, copepods and crustaceans (Whitehead, 1985;Carpenter et al, 1997). Bat et al (2015) discussed that differences in heavy metal levels in pelagic and benthic fish species and concluded this depends of diet and feeding habits of fish species. Moreover accumulation of heavy metal levels in whether pelagic or benthic fish depend on ecological needs and size of individuals (Newman & Doubet, 1989;Zehra et al, 2003, Naeem et al, 2011.…”

Concentrations of heavy metals Cd, Fe, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr and Mn in muscles, liver, kidney and gills of marine and native commercial fish of Chacunda gizzard shad Anodontostoma chacunda collected from Karachi fish harbour were determined to conduct a health risk assessment for people by the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The obtained results were expressed mg/kg dry weight. Results showed that Fe and Zn concentrations were the most abundant among all tissues whereas Cd and Pb levels were the lowest. The data obtained in this study were compared with the international maximum permissible values. The estimated values of all metals in muscles of fish in this study were below the permissible limits. Generally, risk values for the measured metals do not pose unacceptable risks at mean ingestion rate for edible tissues. It can be concluded that the heavy metal levels in edible parts of A. chacunda have no hazards for consumers.

Many factors determine heavy metals content in organisms, like their habitat, feeding habits and natural metal concentratiom in organisms [11].…”

Heavy metal in river come mainly from naturally occurring geochemical materials. However, human activities has enhanced concentration of heavy metal such as coal mine in the case of pollution in Lematang River. The high suspended solid loads in the river can remove most soluble metals from the water and trapped them in the bottom sediment. Freshwater molluscs were collected 3 sampling site, Lahat (ST1) as reference site, and polluted rivers of West Merapi (ST2) and East Merapi (ST2). Freshwater molluscs were analysed for the heavy metal contents in tissue. Relationships of the heavy metal in sediment to the heavy metal content in molluscs was performed using SPSS 24. Thiara scabra was the most abundant taxa in sampling area. Concentration of Fe and Mn in sediment has no significant effect on the Fe content in mollusc tissues. Molluscs appeared to more sensitive to higher Mn content. This study did not clearly show molluscs as a bioaccumulator for metal. Nonetheless, Thiara scabra were common, abundant, easily sampled and it is a useful choice as bioindicator in Lematang river for future study.

“…As a natural water inhabitant, fish are exposed to contaminants especially heavy metals available in the water environment (Bat, Arıcı, Sezgin, & Şahin, 2017; Noreña‐Ramirez, Murillo‐Perea, Guio‐Duque, & Méndez‐Arteaga, 2012; Vinodhini & Narayanan, 2008). Living organisms can accumulate present metals.…”

s Metal pressure under farm conditions was examined on the gill and muscle tissues of farmed Sparus aurata and compared with their wild counterparts (Sparus aurata, Trachurus trachurus, Mullus barbatus). Al, Mn, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn accumulation amounts in gill tissue of farmed fish were 28.821, 37.620, 0.136, 0.300, 3.730, 2.441, 3.222, 2.474 and 127.494 mg/kg respectively. Among them, Cd, Cr, Cu and Pb concentrations in gill tissue of farmed fish were higher than that in wild fishes. Metal depositions in muscle tissue of farmed fish were far below that in the gill tissue. The accumulated Al (6.700 mg/kg) in the muscle tissue of farmed fish was higher than in wild ones. The results showed that metal accumulation levels (especially Cd, Cr, Cu and Pb) in the gill tissue of farmed fish indicate metal pressure under captive conditions. Furthermore, the calculated hazard index (HI) and total hazard index (THI) of the considered elements in the edible part of farmed fish were below the level considered safe, which elucidates that farmed fish do not pose any threat to the human consumer in terms of metal toxicity.
