Heavy Metals in a Tropical Eel Anguilla marmorata from The Central Part of Vietnam

Abstract

In order to understand the present status of heavy metal contamination and the risk associated with human consumption, commercial freshwater eels in Vietnam were examined.

Proximate Levels of Bone Bluefin Tuna Fish As Gelatinization By Product

“…In addition to calcium, the primary mineral found in many fish is Fe, and Zn Cu (Le et al, 2009). Minerals play an important role in the functioning of hormones, enzymes and enzyme activity (Kirkpatrick and Coffin, 1974; Khan et al, 1987).…”

From Sources to Solution

“…(2011), Zn is one of the elements that are used in producing agrochemical fertilizers. Several factors were reported contribute to the differences of Zn concentrations in muscle tissues such as locality (natural or an-thropogenic sources), the physiological condition of the fish (age and size), and seasonal variations (Le et al 2009). According to the Malaysian Food Regulation (1985), the permissible Zn limit allowed is 100 lg/g.…”

Stress Responses of Biomolecules and Dehydrogenase Activity in the Tissues of <I>Labeo rohita</I> against Pollutant Load in the Lakes of Bangalore

“…Some metals are known to be toxic even at low concentrations, including arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead (Lee et al, 2009). Others such as copper and cobalt, are known to be essential elements and play important roles in biological metabolism at very low concentrations (Lee et al, 2009). The presence of heavy metals in fishes from the Coastal waters of Kapar and Mersing, Malaysia water was reported by Bashir et al (2013).…”

“…Among the various pollutants, heavy metals, in particular, are widespread contaminants released into aquatic systems from numerous factories and industries. Some metals are known to be toxic even at low concentrations, including arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead (Lee et al, 2009). Others such as copper and cobalt, are known to be essential elements and play important roles in biological metabolism at very low concentrations (Lee et al, 2009).…”
