Measurement of Iron, Manganese, Copper, Cobalt and Lead to Assess the Edible Fitness of M. Cephalus Collected From Lasbela (Balochistan), Pakistan, Using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
Abstract:The sea serves as a good source of food. The direct discharge of pollutants into aquatic environments can result in exceeded levels of heavy metals. This can harm the organisms and cause serious health issues when consumed by humans. Mugil cephalus is consumed as food, and its continuous analysis for heavy metals is required for food safety. Some selected metals – namely iron, copper, manganese, cobalt and lead – were evaluated in muscle tissues of Mugil cephalus collected from two major fish landing sites (i.… Show more
