“…Although manganese is an element of low toxicity, it has been of considerable biological signi"cance. Evidence of its accumulation in certain species of "sh has been presented by Sharif et al (1993). In this study, the average manganese concentrations in canned sardines ranged from 1.53 to 17.55 g/g.…”

“…Data concerning the concentration of lead in "sh from di!erent areas of the world ranged from 0.05 to 2.50 g/g (Sharif et al, 1993). According to the existing legislation, the allowed limits for lead by virtue of its toxicity is 2.0 g/g (Abia, 1998).…”

“…The levels of cadmium in sardines analyzed in this study are below this speci"ed limit. In general, human contamination by cadmium intake is not a concern, because several studies have reported a low contamination of "sh in di!erent areas of the world (Sharif et al, 1993).…”

“…On the other hand, our data were in agreement with the values in the range of 0.06}1.2 g/g (wet wt. ), reported by Sharif et al (1993). Although copper is an essential element, it is very toxic and a maximum limit intake was set at 30 mg/day (WHO, 1996).…”

“…In the literature Ni levels have been reported in the range of 0.73-6.11 lg/g of dry weight in tropical marine fish species from the Bay of Bengal (Sharif et al 1993), 0.54-1.84 lg/g of wet weight in demersal fish species from İskenderun Bay, Turkey (Yilmaz et al 2010) and 1.1-10.2 lg/g of wet weight in fish species from polluted and unpolluted areas of Yeşilırmak River in Tokat, Turkey (Mendil et al 2010). …”

This study aimed to determine the concentrations of aluminium, cadmium, lead and nickel in edible muscle of three commercially valuable fish species (Rutilus frisii kutum, Liza aurata and Cyprinus carpio) from four fishing sites of Iranian coastal waters of the Caspian Sea during winter and summer. The samples were analyzed using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) after wet-ashing digestion. The results were expressed as lg/g of wet weight. The resulted range of metals in fish species was between 0.89-2.46 lg/g for aluminium, 0.03-0.17 lg/g for cadmium, 0.21-0.38 lg/g for lead and 0.12-0.52 lg/g for nickel. Seasonal variation influenced concentration of the metals in fish samples of some fishing sites. The highest concentrations found were 4.63 lg/g for aluminium in winter and 0.82 lg/g for lead in summer in Cyprinus carpio; while cadmium (0.49 lg/g) and nickel (1.14 lg/g) were the highest in Rutilus frisii kutum in winter. This demonstrates that estimated daily and weekly intakes of aluminium, lead and nickel and estimated monthly intake of cadmium via consumption of fish flesh are below the established PTDI, PTWI and PTMI values.

Heavy metal pollution was reported in commercially valuable freshwater edible fish in the Buriganga River, Bangladesh. The concentrations of As, Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn, and Cu were investigated in the muscle, gill, stomach, intestine, and liver of Heteropneustes fossilis caught at three stations to assess the degree of fish pollution by heavy metals. Significant differences in concentrations of analyzed elements were observed among different tissues, but not among the stations. The ranges of the measured concentrations (μg/g dry weight) in the tissues of H. fossilis were as follows: arsenic concentration was (0.2-0.4), (0.82-0.90), (3.29-3.99), (2.20-2.80), and (2.41-2.90), that of lead was (1.79-2.20), (4.95-6.55), (10.36-13.38), (5.74-9.70), and (18.20-18.79), that of cadmium was (0.3-0.4), (2.87-4.27), (1.03-1.63), (1.55-4.59), and (2.25-5.50), that of chromium was (1.40-1.70), (3.52-3.72), (2.28-5.29), (2.77-3.79), and (4.25-8.65), that of zinc was (24.47-28.82), (16.82-18.80), (20.22-22.20), (22.86-26.68), and (60.82-67.80), and that of copper was (7.80-8.50), (6.22-6.81), (38.21-44.25), (17.07-21.03), and (43.24-47.30) in the muscle, gill, stomach, intestine, and liver, respectively. This research showed that the liver appeared to be the main heavy metal storage tissue, while the muscle had the lowest levels of analyzed metals. The concentrations of metal in the muscles not exceeded the acceptable levels for a food source for human consumption.
