“…Similar results were reported for some fish species in other studies, showing that the muscle were not an active tissue for metals accumulation (Tekin-Ö zan and Kir 2008; Alam et al 2002). The highest concentrations of Cu and Zn were observed in liver, what is in agreement with reports in literature (Canli et al 2001). Fish can retain Cu and Zn owing to specific binding proteins known as metallothioneins in liver tissue (Allen-Gil and Martynov 1995).…”

Concentrations of copper, zinc, mercury, and arsenic were measured in the muscle, gill and liver tissues of Coreius heterodon and Pelteobagrus vachelli collected from the rare and endemic fish nature reserve in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The concentrations of copper and zinc in the tissues of these two fish species were higher than those of mercury and arsenic. Highest metal concentrations were generally found in fish samples from Yibin. The concentrations of copper, zinc, mercury, and arsenic in C. heterodon were higher than that in P. vachelli. The fish from this study area were not safe for human consumption.

“…For decades, fish species as bio-indicators of heavy metal pollution has been studied by many researchers in a number of countries, including Turkey (Canli et al 2001;Tuzen 2003;Altindag andYigit 2005, Fidan et al 2008), Brazil (Vives et al 2006), Italy (Boncompagni et al 2003;Storelli et al 2005), USA (Heiny and Tate 1997;Gale et al 2004), Saudi Arabia (Ashraf et al 2006), Portugal (Leal et al 1997), Libya (Voegborlo et al 1999), Uganda (Swaibuh Lwanga et al 2003, etc. In Pakistan, a study was previously carried out for the determination of some heavy metals from fresh water fish catch from the River Indus (the longest river in Pakistan and the 21st largest river in the world in terms of annual flow, also considered the lifeline of Pakistan).…”

The untreated industrial and sewage wastes arising from industries and metropolitan activities make their passage to the River Ravi, Pakistan, where Balloki Headworks is one of the major sites of effluent concentration. This study was designed to evaluate the concentration of various toxic elements in fishes of that area compared to a nearby fish farm. The concentrations of heavy metals, such as As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Hg, and Zn, and electrolytes Ca, K, and Na were determined in different edible and non-edible fresh water fish varieties. Fish samples were collected from two selected sites and were analyzed for aforementioned elements. Higher levels of As (35.74-45.33 ppm), Cd (0.35-0.45 ppm), Pb (2.1-3.0 ppm), Hg (83.03-92.35 ppm) while normal levels of Zn (37.85-40.74 ppm) and Cu (1.39-2.93 ppm) were observed. Mercury, higher levels of which trigger cough, impairment of pulmonary function, and psychotic reactions, was significantly higher in all studied categories. At the sites under study, there has been observed alarming levels of toxic metals which are needed to be monitored regularly.

“…However, the lead levels in sea fish are reported to be much lower than represented by our data. Carvalho et al (2005) reported 0.02 to 0.06 lg/g for the Portuguese Coast, Portugal, whereas the report for the Mediterranean Sea, Turkey (Canli et al 2001) was on the higher side of the lead content in the common fish species of the region (1.58-2.30 ppm).…”
