“…For their quantification, an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) (Agilent 8900-Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) was used. For their analysis, the preparation of the samples followed a protocol adapted by Bakhshalizadeh et al [ 29 ]. Each sample was homogenized and digested in a digestion solution (15 mL, with 65% nitric acid (HNO 3 ) and hydrogen peroxide) and heated on a plate at 200 °C.…”

Although fish is a food that supplies nutrients of a high biological value, they can also be a source of some harmful substances, such as heavy metals. In the same context, some human activities in the Caspian Sea have contaminated this ecosystem during the past few years. For those reasons, our objective consisted of determining the concentrations of heavy metals and evaluating their bioaccumulation patterns in the different types of musculature in two species of mullets of commercial interest, Chelon auratus and Chelon saliens, from the southern coast of this sea. For this purpose, 20 C. auratus and 29 C. saliens were caught off this coastline and the metal concentrations in 3 different muscle locations were analyzed: the ventral, dorsal and caudal muscles of each fish. The caudal muscle had higher concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn, whereas As, Hg and Ni accumulation seemed to be independent of the musculature type. Overall, the Cd, Hg, and Pb concentrations exceeded the maximum levels permitted in fish by the European Union. In addition, the relationships between pairs of metals were positive and elevated in all the cases, which could be a sign of heavy metal pollution in the region sampled. Therefore, it will be necessary to continue monitoring and evaluating the degree of pollution in the Caspian Sea.

“…Heavy metal contaminants are of particular concern due to their high toxicity, persistence, and ability to accumulate into the food chain, reaching human beings [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Metals such as iron, copper, zinc and manganese are essential since they play an important role in biological systems, whereas nickel, lead and cadmium are considered non-essential metals, as they are toxic, even in trace amounts [19,20]. Toxic effects can also be observed if the essential element's level is excessively elevated [4,20].…”

The aims of this study were to measure the concentrations of selected toxic and essential elements in the muscle tissue of five common freshwater fish species ((roach (Rutilus rutilus), freshwater bream (Abramis brama), prussian carp (Carassius gibelio), crucian carp (Carassius carassius) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio)) from Lake Burgas and Lake Mandra (Bulgaria). In all samples the levels of Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Fe and Zn were under the maximum allowed concentrations for safe human consumption in Bulgaria and ranged as follows: Cd 0.02–0.05; Cr 0.03–0.06; Cu 0.11–0.20; Mn 0.05–0.71; Ni 0.06–0.11; Pb 0.15–0.27, Fe 1.68–5.86 and Zn 1.94–9.06 mg/kg wet weight. The concentration of As was under detection limit. An assessment of the human risk by calculation of the target hazard quotients (THQ), hazard index (HI) and target risk (TR) was performed. The target hazard quotient (THQ) for individual elements and HI for combined metals were lower than 1, indicating no health risk for consumers due to the intake of either individual or combined metals. The target risk for iAs, Pb and Ni was below 10−6, indicating no carcinogenic risk. According to these results, the consumption of these freshwater fish species is safe for human health.
