“…Hg has been reported to bind to muscle tissue in fish due to its high affinity for phosphate and sulphur in proteins making it a suitable tissue for assessing Hg concentrations in fish; whilst Cd and Pb are analysed in fish liver due to the organs' storage and detoxification function (Agusa et al, 2005;Bat et al, 2015). This is supported by the findings of this study, where the concentration of Hg in demersal shark muscle (262.0-990.0 μg/kg ww), pelagic roundfish muscle (43.30-50.60 μg/kg ww), demersal roundfish muscle (25.90-105.0 μg/kg ww) and flatfish muscle (20.10-341.0 μg/kg ww) was significantly higher than the concentration in the liver tissue of the corresponding category (demersal shark liver 24.70-201.0 μg/kg ww; pelagic roundfish liver 16.30-18.10 μg/kg ww; demersal roundfish liver 5.050-51.00 μg/kg ww; flatfish liver 26.20-278.0 μg/kg ww; (p < 0.05 ANOVA, Tukey); Table 1).…”

Heavy metal contaminations in aquatic habitats effect negatively on the organisms that depend on the water. In this work heavy metal levels in edible tissues of Cyprinus carpio from Karasu Stream in Sinop in summer, autumn and winter were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer. The accumulation pattern in the work is in the order of Zn>Cu>Pb>Cd> Hg. The amounts of Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in carps were 0.022-0.036, 0.031-0.045, 0.22-0.29, 1.32-1.61 and 8.4-12.3 mg kg-1 wet wt., respectively. Concentrations of heavy metals in C. carpio were all below the TFC and EC guidelines. Total target hazard quotient (TTHQ) was 0.10722 and below 1 which showed that consumption of carp from the Karasu Stream has no health threats by now as the heavy metals investigated was concerned.

“…Cd and Pb belong to the group of non-essential and toxic metals and have no known function in biochemical processes [36]. The concentrations of Cd and Pb in the samples of razor clams ranged from 0.013 to 0.045 mg kg −1 and from 0.025 to 0.20 mg kg −1 , respectively, i.e., well below the permissible limits.…”

The levels of essential (Cu, Cr, Co, Mn, Se, Zn) and non-essential (As, Be, Bi, Cd, Cs, Ga, Ni, Pb, Sr, Tl, U, V) trace elements were studied in razor clams (Solen marginatus) collected from the Tyrrhenian coast of Southern Italy at five selected sites along the Domitio littoral in the Campania region. The main objectives of this study were to assess the contamination status of these bivalve mollusks and to evaluate the risks to the environment and consumers due to metal contamination. The concentrations of 18 trace elements were determined after microwave-assisted mineralization and by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Concentrations of the toxic elements Pb and Cd were below the maximum levels established by Commission Regulation (EC) 1881/2006, while higher average concentrations of arsenic were found at each of the five sites studied. Regarding the other trace elements, contamination levels followed the order: Zn > Sr > Mn > Cu > Se > Cr > V > Ni > Co > Ga > Cs > Be > U > Bi > Tl. No significant differences among the sites were found with regard to any of the trace elements analyzed, and element levels in razor clams did not reflect sediment contamination. The results demonstrated the substantial food safety of the razor clams in this area with respect to heavy metals but revealed a potential health risk due to arsenic contamination in all the areas sampled.
