Heavy metal levels in different sizes and tissues of Drepane longimana (Bloch &amp; Schneider, 1801) from Arabian Sea

This research was carried out to determine the levels of Cd, Hg, Pb, As, Al, Cu, Fe and Zn in the muscles of Trachurus mediterraneus ponticus. The fish samples were collected from the Samsun coasts of the Black Sea between September and December in both 2021 and 2022 and were analysed by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrophotometer. The metal values in the muscle tissues of horse mackerel were below the permissible values. Zn has the higher mean concentration (5.475 mg/kg wet wt.) followed by Fe (mean concentration of 3.887 mg/kg wet wt.) and Cu (mean concentration of 0.178 mg/kg wet wt.) The Cd was found at the lowest (0.0077 mg/kg wet wt.) mean concentration followed by Hg (0.0096 mg/kg wet wt.), Pb (0.0453 mg/kg wet wt.), and Al (0. 1077 mg/kg wet wt.). The target hazard quotients (THQs) for individual metals and the total target hazard quotients (TTHQs) were
