Micro, macro mineral and proximate composition of Atlantic bonito and horse mackerel: a monthly differentiation

Abstract

Atlantic Bonito and horse mackerel were investigated for proximate and elemental composition throughout the year. Two fish species were collected from the Istanbul local fish market from December (2006) to November (2007) during the fishing season. Highest protein values were found in the June for Atlantic Bonito, in July for horse mackerel. Highest fat value of Atlantic Bonito and horse mackerel were determined in November. Trace and potential toxic minerals (mercury, cadmium, lead, copper and zinc) exceeded the legislative limits in some months of the year. The highest concentration among the elements was obtained for sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, iodine and selenium throughout the year.

Dietary intake of trace elements from highly consumed cultured fish (Labeo rohita, Pangasius pangasius and Oreochromis mossambicus) and human health risk implications in Bangladesh

“…Environmental pollution is now being considered as a major problem in developed, developing and undeveloped countries Gallo and Almirall, 2009;Ozden, 2010). Recent years have witnessed significant attention being paid to the problems of environmental contamination by a wide variety of chemical pollutants including the trace metals (Gallo and Almirall, 2009;Orecchio and Amorello, 2010).…”

Application of a Graphene Oxide–Carbon Paste Electrode for the Determination of Lead in Rainbow Trout from Central Europe

“…Nowadays, countries all over the world face the problem of environmental pollution (Gallo and Almirall 2009;Ozden 2010). Many ecological and environmental changes emerge as a result of human agricultural and industrial activity (Pohl et al 2009;Szyczewski et al 2009).…”

Composición proximal en algunas especies de pescado y mariscos disponibles en el pacífico costarricense

“…Se sabe que constituyen una fuente alta en proteína, minerales y vitaminas esenciales de valioso valor biológico (Astorga et al, 2007;Fuentes et al, 2009;Özden 2010a). Más aún, por su bajo contenido en grasas y calidad de ácidos grasos, muchas investigaciones reportan los efectos benéficos del consumo de estos organismos para una buena salud (Castro-González et al, 2007;Perea et al, 2008;Özden 2010b).…”
