“…Many studies have been conducted on the concentrations of PTMs in fish in many regions or countries, such as the Red Sea [19][20][21], India [22][23][24], Pakistan [14,[25][26][27][28], Indonesia [29,30], Persian Gulf or Iran [31][32][33][34][35], Bangladesh [36][37][38], Tanzania [39], Turkey [40], China [41][42][43], Mediterranean Sea [44,45], Aegean Seas of Turkey [46,47], Mexico [48], the Black Sea (Bulgaria), and the Ionian Sea (Italy) [49].…”

Potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in edible marine fish have been widely reported from at least 15 different regions or countries in the literature. This evidently demonstrates the importance of monitoring the PTMs in fish fillets from a human health risk (HHR) point of view. This study aims to assess the HHR of Cu and Zn in 19 species of marine fish from popular marine fish loading sites at Setiu in Terengganu, on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, collected between August 2016 and February 2017. With overall ranges of concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) of Cu (1.50–7.83), and Zn (24.1–80.5), the 19 species of marine fishes from Setiu are good sources of these essential elements because they are below the maximum permissible limits set by seafood safety guidelines. The target hazard quotient values of Cu and Zn were lower than one, indicating non-carcinogenic risks of Cu and Zn in fish consumption. It was also found that the calculated values of the estimated weekly intake were below the established provisional tolerable weekly intake of Cu and Zn. It can be concluded that the consumption of fish from Setiu would not pose adverse effects from the PTMs to consumers. Nonetheless, continuous monitoring is necessary to ensure the safety of consumers who rely heavily on marine fish in Setiu coastal waters.

“…Recently, health risk assessment through PHE contamination in food has been observed as one of the most significant environmental issues [26][27][28]. Health risk assessment of aquatic food has shown a remarkable increasing trend globally, especially in the third-world developing countries such as Bangladesh [18], Pakistan [29], and Vietnam [30]. PHE contamination and potential health risks have been observed in the fish collected from the Hunza River, northern Pakistan [7], located in the vicinity of the present study.…”

This study investigated the concentrations of potentially harmful elements (PHE) in edible tissues of trout fish (Salmo trutta) in the Phander Valley, Northern Pakistan. For this purpose, fish were sampled from the Phander Valley (Gilgit River and Phander Lake). PHE concentrations in edible fish tissues (muscle, fins, and skin) were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS, AAnalyst 700, Perkin Elmer, USA). Among PHE, zinc (Zn) showed the highest concentration of 1097 μg/kg in the skin, followed by manganese (Mn) of 241 μg/kg in the muscle, and the lowest of 3.78 μg/kg for cadmium (Cd) in fins. The concentration of PHE in fish tissues of the study area was observed within the threshold limits set by the food and agriculture organization (FAO). PHE concentration of fish tissues was used for the calculation of chronic risk assessment using the chronic daily intake (CDI) and hazard quotient (HQ) indices. The highest CDI values were observed for Zn through fish tissue consumption in juveniles, followed by Mn, and the lowest for Cd in adults. The HQ values were observed less than 1 for adults through PHE consumption in fish tissue; however, that of juvenile surpassed the threshold limit through Cd consumption in all studied tissues and that of Pb in the muscle and skins only. Higher HQ values than the threshold limit could pose a potential chronic risk to the exposed community. Spearman's non-parametric correlation showed a varying degree of correlation among PHE in fish tissues and canonical discriminant analyses were used to differentiate the tissues based on PHE accumulation tendencies.

“…Metal concentrations in fish species meat are higher than (RDA) limits, effect a major health risk to both fish and humans. Kakar et al, 2020 studied that The Gadani shipbreaking area, on Pakistan's coast, is a major fish production location. Heavy metal concentrations in eatable muscle tissues of all examined fish species from the Gadani seaside were found to be safe for human consumption after comparison to maximum allowed limits.…”

Rivers in the KPK Peshawar region of Pak are subjected to a variety of anthropogenic impacts, Agricultural operations, industry, and urban garbage are all examples. The purpose of The goal of this research was to find out the degree of water contamination by showing a testing that includes in situ bio-monitoring of water constituents on Geno-toxicity in local fish species. Three places in the region were tested for Geno-toxicity using the micronucleus test. At sample locations like the urban perimeter, farmland, and the fertiliser industry, it was interesting to observe if there were any differences between monitored species control and such Characidium fasciatum, Astyanax fasciatus, Astyanax altiparanae. Records showed that the species from sites one, Two, and Three had a considerably greater frequency of Micronucleus when compared to fish from site Four. The frequency of Micronucleus was substantially higher in and A. altiparanae and A. fasciatus erythrocytes at sites one and two. Micronucleus frequencies were higher at site three in C. fasciatum. Micronucleus induction in C. fasciatum was associated to Cr levels in water and sediment, whereas A. altiparanae and A. fasciatum were linked to zinc levels in water and sediment.
