“…For mackerel, results found in our study present also higher cadmium contents and lower levels of Pb than mackerel from Atlantic Ocean in Portuguese waters, and Mediterranean Sea (Vieira et al 2011;Falcó et al 2006). Moreover, lower content of cadmium were reported in horse mackerel from Adriatic Sea and Atlantic Sea (Storelli 2008;Vieira et al 2011) and higher content of Hg and Pb (Storelli 2008;Vieira et al 2011;Mendil et al 2010) (Table 6). …”

In the current study, ten elements contents (Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Cr, Co, Ni, Cd, Pb and Hg) have been measured in muscle and liver of four pelagic fish species (Engraulis encrasicolus, Sardina pilchardus, Scomber japonicus and Trachurus trachurus) from the north-west African coast (South Atlantic Moroccan coast), collected during summer and autumn seasons (July and December 2013, respectively). Significant differences in metal contents were found between the different species (p \ 0.05). Metals levels were also much higher in liver than those recorded in muscle tissues. The concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cd, Co, Cu and Pb were significantly higher in mackerel liver (p \ 0.05).While, in muscle, anchovy presents a higher content of Mn, Cu, Cr, Ni and Pb. A high level of cadmium was recorded in liver of the different species which can be attributed to an anthropogenic source (phosphate industry) and to natural sources (upwelling activities). The main concentration of toxic elements (Cd, Pb and Hg) recorded in the four edible muscles of pelagic fish species, under study, were below the established values by the European Commission Regulations and show that their effect on the consumers health can be considered as negligible.

“…In the last years, the health benefits related with seafood consumption have been extensively publicized (Mendil et al, 2010). The world consumption of fish has increased simultaneously with the growing concern of their nutritional and therapeutic benefits (El-Moselhy et al, 2014).…”

“…At low levels, some TE are essential for enzymatic activity and many biological processes (Bat et al, 2012). The main roles of these essential elements can be described as functional (a catalyzing role) and structural (integrators of the organic compounds) (Mendil et al, 2010). TE become toxic when their intake is excessive or when ingested over a long time period and even potentially carcinogenic to humans (Uluozlu et al, 2007).…”

“…In fish, it can cause deficits or decreases in survival, growth rates, development and metabolism (Yilmaz, et al, 2010). The distribution of metals varies between fish species, depending on age, season of the catch, development status, the position of particular fish species in a food chain and other physiological factors (Mendil, et al, 2010). In fish, metals accumulate mainly in kidney, liver and intestine epithelium.…”

The aim of this work was to compare the concentration of lead in the meat of common bream (Abramis brama L.), white bream (Blicca bjoerkna L.) and common bleak (Alburnus alburnus L.). The experimental fish were obtained in natural condition from Vistula River, located within Toruń, near wastewater treatment plant. The study involved 60 individuals of freshwater fish caught in autumn. Analyses were carried out on 10 individuals of common bream, 20 white bream and 30 individuals of common bleak. The muscles samples for analyses were taken from the large side muscle of fish body above the lateral line. There were chosen for analyses individuals with similar biometric measurements. Due to a relatively low amounts of meat obtained from white bream and common bleak, the material from individuals of similar body length was combined (about 2-3 pieces). Pb concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer Solaar 939 QZ, ATI Unicam. Analyses of variance (test post hoc -Tukey test) indicated that the mean value of lead was the highest in the meat of common bream (0.086 μg·g -1 wet weight) and the lowest in the meat of white bream (0.075 μg·g -1 wet weight). There were no statistical significant differences in the lead content between the analyzed fish species (at p< 0.05). Analysis of correlation indicated a negative and statistical significant correlation between the fish body length and Pb concentration.
