“…Moreover, Cr and Pb showed a significantly negative correlation with the shell length and soft-tissue weight (p < 0.01), and Ni showed a negative correlation with soft-tissue weight but not with shell length (p > 0.05). Previous studies demonstrated that concentrations of Cr and Pb showed a significantly negative correlation with fish length (Nussey et al, 2000), and Zn had a significantly positive correlation with fish weight (Velusamy et al, 2014), which was similar to the results in this study. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on the data of 11 metals with varimax rotation, and the results are shown in Table 3.…”

“…The correlation coefficient between Cr and Pb was the highest (r = 0.88), followed by Co and Ni (r = 0.76), and the correlation between Mn and Zn was the lowest (r = 0.002). In previous reports, significantly positive or negative correlations between investigated heavy metals were also observed (Kljaković et al, 2010;Joksimovic et al, 2011;Velusamy et al, 2014), which may indicate that aquatic organisms selectively absorb specific heavy metals for normal metabolism, and heavy metals may interact with each other.…”

a b s t r a c tTo investigate the pollution level and evaluate the potential health risks of heavy metals, the concentrations of chromium (Cr), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As), selenium (Se), molybdenum (Mo), cadmium (Cd), antimony (Sb), and lead (Pb) were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in 198 clams (Mactra veneriformis) collected from 11 sites of the Bohai Bay. The results showed that heavy metal concentrations in the clams were different at different sites (p < 0.05). Mn was dominant with a percentage of 22.08-77.03% in heavy metals, followed by Zn with 12.66-57.11%, and the concentration of Pb was the lowest with 0.45-1.04%. The potential health risk to consumers was evaluated by the target hazard quotient (THQ) and the maximum daily consumption rate (CR max ). The results indicated that the THQs of Co were the highest with the values of 1.125, 1.665, and 1.144 at three sections; the values of other individual metals were <1, which indicated that consumption of clams from the study areas caused health risks due to Co. Moreover, the CR max values also indicated the potential health risk caused by Co in clams consumed in this area. Pearson correlation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that there were significantly positive or negative correlations between the heavy metals (p < 0.05), and the studied metals were divided into four groups. The results indicated that the concentrations of heavy metals in clams were affected not only by pollution sources but also by the characteristics of clams that could absorb selectively and accumulate special metals. This study offers important information on the pollution levels of heavy metals in clams and warns consumers of the health risks associated with the consumption of clams in the area.

“…Generally, cadmium exposure to human population occurs mainly through two sources, the oral route through water and food, also through the inhalation (Castro-González & Méndez-Armenta, 2008). Cd is a non-essential toxic metal and has no biological activity in humans, but through food chain magnification, they will be also highly risked on Cd poisoning (Arulkumar et al, 2017;Velusamy, Satheesh Kumar, Ram, & Chinnadurai, 2014). Moreover, Pb was found in the range of 0-0.161 mg/kg (dry weight).…”

Aquatic environment of Jakarta Bay have already been highlighted due to its heavy metals contamination which may lead into food safety concern of fisheries products derived from this region. This research aimed to investigate bioaccumulation level of heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and As) in fish and mussels from Jakarta Bay, as a human risk assessment of seafood consumption. Samples of mussels and fish were taken from Penjaringan, Tarumanegara, Cilincing, and Tanjung Pasir district. Bioaccumulation of heavy metals was analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma -Mass Spectrometry technique. Results of the study revealed that metals bioaccumulation in fisheries products were varied, with As (Arsenic) as the highest metal contaminant (0.68 mg/kg, dry weight). Furthermore, estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotient (THQ), total target hazard quotient (TTHQ), and safety limits prescribed by various agencies, showed that consumption of fisheries products from Jakarta Bay considered as relatively safe for human health in total of food ingestion rate of fish 57.34 g/day. These results are expected to serve as a baseline to construct preventive and palliative policies for food safety of fisheries products from Jakarta Bay.

“…The diet is the main route of human exposure to heavy metals (12). Velusamy et al (2014) studied the accumulation of heavy metals in the 17 species of commercially important fish harbor of Bambaei in India. The results showed that the maximum concentration of heavy metals in Europe and species studied by the FAO/ WHO recommendations, and the fish in this area were considered safe for human consumption (13).…”

A B S T R A C T Background and Objectives:Despite the increasing impact of heavy metal pollution in Persian Gulf due to urban growth and agricultural and petroleum activities, few studies have focused on the behavior and relationships of these pollutants in the biotic and abiotic components of aquatic environments. In this study, the amount of some metals (copper, iron, lead, cadmium, zinc and nickel) was determined in the tissues of fish from three locations (Qeshm, Khamir port and Laft port) of Persian Gulf. Materials and Methods:Fish samples were caught in Aug 2015. After bioassay, the samples of short fish (Silago Sihama) were prepared through acid digestion method, and the amount of metals was measured using atomic absorption device (Scientific Equipment GBS). Results: Conclusions:The research results showed that heavy metal concentrations in the muscles of investigated species were also lower than the maximum levels set by law. Therefore, food risk assessment of the case study species indicated that consumption of short fish with the current consumption rate causes no danger to consumers from the viewpoint of zinc, nickel, cadmium, lead, copper and iron.
