Metals (major, essential to non-essential) composition of the different tissues of three demersal fish species from İskenderun Bay, Turkey

Arsenic and Other Trace Elements in Five Edible Fish Species in Relation to Fish Size and Weight and Potential Health Risks for Human Consumption

“…Yilmaz et al [45] found the highest concentrations of Co in liver samples, as seen in our study. We observed that catfish had the highest concentrations of Co in gills compared to other species, which is in accordance with the findings of Subotić et al [27].…”

“…In contrast, in our study freshwater bream had the highest concentrations of Se in muscle (0.258 mg·kg -1 ww) compared to other fish. Rajkowska et al [37], Yilmaz et al [45], and SzarekGwiazda and Amirowicz [49] pointed to the liver as a storage organ for Fe, and such is the case in our study. The detected concentrations of Fe in pikeperch muscle samples (42.90 mg·kg -1 ww) were higher than in samples from Gruža Reservoir (3.12 mg·kg -1 ww) [26], and from the Caspian Sea (2.79 μg·g -1 ww) [44].…”

“…Ni is essential for normal growth and reproduction in animals and humans, but shows a carcinogenic effect when consumed in high amounts. Ni concentrations were the highest in liver samples as in the studies of Jarić et al [7], Nabavi et al [44], and Yilmaz et al [45]. The detected concentrations of Ni in pikeperch muscle samples (0.049 mg·kg -1 ww) were lower than in samples from the Caspian Sea (1.77 μg·g -1 ww) [44].…”

<i>IN-VIVO</i> EVALUATION OF HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM INDUCED DNA DAMAGE BY ALKALINE COMET ASSAY AND OXIDATIVE STRESS IN <i>CATLA CATLA</i>

“…Fish are at the top of the aquatic food chain and normal metabolism of fish may accumulate large amounts of certain metals from water, food, or sediment. However, like essential metals, nonessential metals are also taken up by fish and gets accumulated in their tissues (Yılmaz et al, 2010). As fish fauna serves as a food source for humans, it is essential to know the impact of water pollution on these organisms.…”

Content of the calcium and phosphorus in the meat of Prussian carp (Carassius auratus gibelio BLOCH, 1783) from the Lake Goplo (Poland)

“…Metals can be accumulated by fish through the food chain and water (Mendil and Uluözlü, 2007). The level and intensity of the accumulation depends on many factors, such as: species of fish, size, sex, seasonal changes and environmental factors (Yilmas, et al, 2010). Trace elements are introduced into the aquatic system (lakes, rivers) through atmospheric fallen dumping wastes and geological weathering (Al-Yousuf, et al, 2000).…”
