Abstract:IntroductionHeavy metals are ubiquitous environmental pollutants, and fish could be contaminated by these metals, potentially posing a threat to human health through the food chain. Understanding the accumulation of these metals in fish tissues is crucial for assessing the safety of consuming fish products.MethodsIn this study, the distribution of nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) in tissues of eight fish species (Ctenopharyngodon idellus, Megalobrama amblycephala, Hypophthalmich… Show more
