“…Our results are in agreement with and confirm reports from earlier findings that fish muscle generally accumulates lower concentrations of PTEs (except for Hg) than gills, liver and intestines [56,57]. Gills are the first target organ for exposure in fish [17,18] to PTEs in water which complex with mucus.…”

Limited information is available on trace element-water contamination and health risk assessment of small-scale intensive fish farming in low-income settings. Such information creates awareness among fish consumers, policy makers and the scientific community, regarding dietary exposure and health risks for not well-reported settings. The concentrations of potentially toxic trace elements in water, sediment and fish (T. rendalli, O. nitloticus and M. salmoides) were determined by spectrometry. The ecological and potential human health risks were assessed for Magobo dam, NE Zimbabwe, using the Hakanson ecological approach and the United States Environmental Protection Agency risk-assessment model, respectively. Concentrations in water and sediment appeared to increase in the order: cadmium < arsenic < lead. They restricted water use for irrigation and human consumption. The potential ecological risk factors for individual trace elements were below the index range for low risk. The potential ecological risk index for the dam (7.20) did not constitute ecological risk. The concentrations of trace elements in fish significantly varied with species, length and tissue (p < 0.05). The concentrations of arsenic and lead in gills, liver and muscle for O. niloticus and arsenic in M. salmoides were greater than international maximum permissible limits for fish. The target cancer risk due to dietary exposure to arsenic in the three fish species was in the range 10-6. There is no obvious cancer risk to the exposed population.

“…"The tissue samples were thawed at room temperature before analysis. Approximately 1 g (gills, liver, kidney and muscle) was weighed in an Erlenmeyer flask and digested with 5 ml Perchloric acid and 15 ml HNO3 on a hot plate until brown fumes ceased to evolve, then samples were cooled at room temperature, diluted with 50 ml distilled water by following [21]".…”

“…Studies conducted on river Kabul revealed the presence of heavy metals in different fish species including Tor putitora, Ompok bimaculatus, Aorichthys seenghala, Cyprinus carpio, Labeo dyocheilus and Wallago attu in a higher concentration than the permissible limits [16][17][18]. Many recent studies reports the presence of heavy metals in various fish species from different parts of the country [19][20][21]. Keeping in view the current scenario of an increase in heavy metal concentrations in different freshwater bodies in Pakistan, and the increasing risks associated with consumption of fish having higher concentrations of toxic metals, the current study was carried out to determine concentrations of different heavy metals in the kidneys, liver, gills and muscle tissues of three highly consumed fish species (Garra gotyla, Cyprinus carpio and Cyprinion watsoni) from the river Panjkora, Pakistan.…”

This study was conducted in the River Panjkora, Pakistan, in order to assess the level of heavy metals accumulated in the liver, kidneys, gills and muscle tissues of three highly consumed fish species by the local community, Garra gotyla, Cyprinus carpio and Cyprinion watsoni. The heavy metals including manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) were determined in the collected fish specimens through an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Level of heavy metals significantly varied depending upon tissues type and fish species. Cyprinus carpio accumulated highest concentration of heavy metals, followed by Garra gotyla while Cyprinion watsoni accumulated least concentration of heavy metals. All the three species displayed significant differences in level of accumulated heavy metals. The order of accumulation in tissues was gills

The present study was aimed to evaluate the concentration of heavy metals in various organs of three edible fish species (Catlacatla, Wallagoattu and Tilapia nilotica) sampled from contaminated water of River Setluj at head Sulemanki (Okara), Pakistan. The concentration of selected heavy metals iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are compared in skin muscles, heart, liver, kidney and gills of same fish and also made comparison among three type of fishes. Overall absorption of heavy metals in three type of fishes is as follow Fe >Pb> Ni > Cr > Cd. The concentration of heavy metals in all three species of fishes is compared as Tilapia nilotica ˃ Catlacatla ˃ Wallagoattu, while the existence of heavy metals in the organs of fish is also compared, kidney ˃ liver ˃ gills ˃ skin muscles ˃ heart. In analysis of variance accumulation of heavy metals in three species is significantly present, as p˗value is less than 0.05 for all heavy metals. Measured elevated levels of metal concentrations in fish organs is pointed out to be risks for potential health of fish, other aquatic organisms and human health.
