“…Cadmium accumulates in human body and may induce kidney dysfunction, skeletal damage, and reproductive deficiencies . Impairment of hearing ability, anemia, renal failure, weakened immune system and premature births, are the most common symptoms of lead poisoning (Yildirim et al, 2009). The mean element levels in the fish muscles observed in this study were clearly below the maximum allowable concentrations established by WHO and European Community in food.…”

The increasing order of the mean concentrations of Cd, Cu, and Zn in the tissues of Mugil cephalus of seven coastal lagoons of Sinaloa State (NW Mexico) was liver > gills > muscle, while for Pb it was gills > muscle ≥ liver. There were no differences between the mean concentrations of Cd and Pb of the three tissues determined in the samples of the seven lagoons and, although there were some significant differences, there was no indication of a latitude-related trend in the distribution of Cu and Zn: the Cu content of the muscle tended to be higher in the northern than in the southern lagoons, although in the case of the gills the highest and lowest mean values indicated an opposite trend, with the highest and lowest values in one southern and one northern lagoon. In the case of the liver, there were no differences and no indication of a regional trend. There were no differences in the mean Zn contents of muscle and gills; in the case of the liver, one of the lagoons of the central part of the state had a significantly higher value than one of the southern lagoons and all the rest had similar values. In addition, there was no clear indication of season-related differences in any of the three tissues. According to our results, the metal contents of the muscle of this species are not of concern for human health, since the allowable ingestion would be in the order of 0.9 kg/day.

“…Therefore, marine environments are occasionally monitored for heavy metal contamination in water, sediment and animals. It is well known that heavy metals accumulate in tissues of aquatic animals and therefore, the levels measured in tissues of aquatic animals can reflect the past exposure [1][2][3]. The accumulation patterns of metals in fish depend both on their uptake and elimination rates.…”

ABSTRACT.ABSTRACT. ABSTRACT. ABSTRACT. Levels of selected heavy metals (Pb, Co, Cu, Ni, Zn, Mn and Cd) in the heart and kidney tissues of parrot fish, collected from the Arabian Gulf, Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, were determined by wetdigestion based atomic absorption method. The results showed that accumulation pattern of analyzed metals in the kidney tissues followed the order; Zn > Cu > Co > Pb > Ni > Mn > Cd. In the heart tissue the analyzed metals followed similar pattern of metal accumulation. The average Pb (0.85 ± 0.50 ppm), Cd (0.12 ± 0.07 ppm), Ni (0.92 ± 0.35 ppm) and Mn (0.86 ± 0.43 ppm) were significantly lower in the heart tissue whereas Zn (26.4 ± 12.9 ppm) and Cu (3.29 ± 2.18 ppm) were higher in the kidney tissues. In general, the data indicated that marine fish from the sampling site of the Arabian Gulf contain relatively less burden of heavy metals in their tissues.
