severe discharge of sewage and industrial effluents into the persian gulf leads to the deposition of various types of heavy metals, especially lead and mercury, in the muscles of fish. total mercury and methylmercury contents were determined in the edible parts (muscle tissue, fillet) of two different most popular frozen fish species from the persian gulf to ascertain whether the concentrations...

ría and coastal zone are, in particular, vulnerable to heavy metals pollution. concentrations of 10 metals in liver, muscle and kidney of the sole (solea vulgaris) from ría of vigo and its coastal zone (spain) were measured from april 2006 to february 2007 and the relationships between fish size age and metal concentrations in the tissues was investigated. concentrations of the heavy metals in...

due to increasing worldwide water pollution, fish might be a source of excessive zinc, mercury, arsenic or  manganese  intake. the  aim  of  this  study  was  to  evaluate if  fish atopy/sensitization and fish consumption behavior are associated with eczema severity and blood levels of the 4 heavy metals. one-hundred and nineteen patients with eczema and 43 patients with miscellaneous non-eczem...

zebra fish were exposed to environmentally relevant concentration of pesticides and metals fora period of 14 days. the individual and the combined toxicity of pesticides and metals were studied. damage caused to the dna and induction of mutation in the gadd45β gene was investigated in this study. the present investigation revealed that exposure of zebra fish to pesticides and metals induced dna...

heavy metals entrance to fish body tissues and transferring to human body systems after their consuming makes numerous undesirable effects and health problems. the aim of this study was to determine some heavy metals (lead, cadmium and mercury) in fresh fishes marketed in khorramabad city, west of iran. in this descriptive study, five samples of 17 fish species with high consumption were purcha...

Background: Food poisoning resulting from microbial and heavy metals pollution is commonplace. These contaminants do not only reduce the nutritional value of the food but are in many cases toxic. In this study, the proximate composition, bacterial quality and some heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Hg) concentration in three common fish species (Claria gariepinus, Heterobrachus bidorsalis and Channa obscura...

the current study is focused on determination of the accumulation rate of cadmium (cd) and lead (pb) in the liver and muscle tissues of the caspian kutum fish. specimens were collected randomly from twelve stations in mazandaran province, the caspian sea basin, between october 2009 and march 2010. fork length, weight and length-weight relationship of samples were measured. one-way analysis of v...
