“…The results showed a higher As concentration in the prawn followed by in Mollusca and fishes, M. pancalus, A. coila, and G. youssoufi (Table 2). The arsenic value in fish from the Buriganga River is higher than the concentration from an earlier report by Begum et al (2013). Maximum allowable level of arsenic contaminants in fish, shellfish, and crustaceans are 2, 1, and 2 mg/kg, respectively (FSANZ Food Standards Australia New Zealand 2008).…”

Although fish, crustacean, and shellfish are significant sources of protein, they are currently affected by rapid industrialization, resulting in increased concentrations of heavy metals. Accumulation of heavy metals (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sb, Ba, and Pb) and associated human health risk were investigated in three fish species, namely Ailia coila, Gagata youssoufi, and Mastacembelus pancalus; one crustacean (prawn), Macrobrachium rosenbergii; and one Gastropoda, Indoplanorbis exustus, collected from the Buriganga River, Bangladesh. Samples were collected from the professional fishermen. Cu was the most accumulated metal in M. rosenbergii. Ni, As, Ag, and Sb were in relatively lower concentrations, whereas relatively higher accumulation of Cr, Mn, Zn, and Se were recorded. Mn, Zn, and Pb were present in higher concentrations than the guidelines of various authorities. There were significant differences in metal accumulation among different fish, prawn, or shellfish species. Target hazard quotient (THQ) and target cancer risk (TR) were calculated to estimate the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks, respectively. The THQ for individual heavy metals were below 1 suggesting no potential health risk. But combined impact, estimated by hazard index (HI), suggested health risk for M. pancalus consumption. Although consumption of fish at current accumulation level is safe but continuous and excess consumption for a life time of more than 70 years has probability of target cancer risk.

“…Previous report by Begum et al [17], showed that the liver appeared to be the main storage of heavy metal, while the muscle tissue with the lowest level. Yet, Mormede and Davies [18], suggested that the liver is the target organ, which functions to detoxify and accumulate [19], while muscles are at most concern to humans because it is the main tissues of human diet [20].…”

In the present study, the concentration of Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, and As in various tissues of Hemibagrus sp. from two different habitat were determined with microwave assisted digestion-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. The objective of this research was to determine the differences between wild and cultivated in terms of heavy metal accumulation in muscle, liver and gills tissues. The metals accumulation pattern relating types of tissue and elements as well as fish habitats were revealed by principal component analysis. The results revealed that variation in metal accumulation pattern is strongly dependent on the type of tissues. The results suggested that Cu, Zn, and Pb are highly associated with liver tissue while Cr and As with muscle and gills. The differences in heavy metal accumulation observed between wild and cultivated Hemibagrus sp. were probably due to the differences in their environmental conditions. Keywords: principal component analysis, pattern recognition, heavy metal, fish, farmed Abstrak Kepekatan Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb, dan As dalam pelbagai tisu Hemibagrus sp. dari dua habitat yang berlainan adalah ditentukan dengan pencernaan bantuan gelombang mikro-plasma gadingan teraruh-jirim spektrometri. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan perbezaan antara ikan dari habitat semulajadi dan kolam ternakan dari segi pengumpulan logam berat dalam tisu, hati, dan insang. Corak pengumpulan logam berkaitan jenis tisu dan elemen kajian serta habitat ikan ditunjukkan oleh analisis komponen utama. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa perubahan dalam corak pengumpulan logam adalah bergantung kepada jenis tisu. Keputusan kajian mencadangkan bahawa elemen Cu, Zn, dan Pb adalah berkaitan dengan organ hati manakala elemen Cr dan As adalah berkaitan dengan tisu dan insang. Perbezaan dalam pengumpulan logam berat di antara Hemibagrus sp. dari habitat liar dan kolam ternakan adalah mungkin disebabkan oleh perbezaan dalam keadaan persekitaran mereka.

“…Pb was exceeded the recommended value provided by FAO/WHO whereas Cd and Ni were within the guidelines except for Cd in the liver. Begum et al (2013) [15] reported that the liver appeared to be the main heavy metal storage tissue, while the gonad had the lowest levels of analysed metals. This result is almost similar to our achievement.…”

Pollution and food safety are concerning issues in recent years. For that, the present investigation was aimed to determine the levels of heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium and Nickel) in different organs of three fish (Labeo rohita, Gibelion catla and Pangasius hypophthalmus) and to compare the present value with Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)/World Health Oraganization (WHO) acceptable limit. These commonly consumed fish were collected from Kawran Bazar fish market, Bangladesh and the concentrations of heavy metals were carried out using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The highest (48.33 ± 2.52 ppm) concentration of Lead (Pb) was found in the gill of Pangus fish and the lowest (23.33 ± 2.52 ppm) was found in the gonad of Rui fish. In case of Cadmium (Cd), the highest (0.96 ± 0.08 ppm) concentration was found in the gill of Rui fish whereas the lowest (0.02 ± 0.01 ppm) was found in the kidney of Pangus fish. The highest (6.63 ± 1.00 ppm) concentration of Nickel (Ni) was found in the gill of Katla fish and the lowest (0.10 ± 0.10 ppm) was found in the liver of the same species. The metal concentrations in the muscle of Rui, Katla and Pangus fish were in the decreasing order of Pb>Ni>Cd, Pb>Cd>Ni and Pb>Ni>Cd respectively. In the study, it was found that Pb has exceeded the limits in every case whereas Cd was within the limits except for a few and Ni was completely within the maximum allowable limits provided by FAO/ WHO. However, all these concentrated metals in different parts of fish body could be concentrated into human body, if they are consumed and if so happen; there will be a massive health risk for us.
