“…These mean levels were similar to those found during the 1st TDS in fish (n = 62; mean 5.51 mg/kg; max 18 mg/kg in canned sardines) and in other seafood (n = 18; mean 66 mg/kg; max 219 mg/kg in oyster) (Leblanc et al, 2005). These results were in good agreement (De Mora et al, 2004;Kelly et al, 2008;Sivaperumal et al, 2007), higher (Agah et al, 2009;Ersoy & Celik, 2010) or lower (De Mora et al, 2004;Erkan et al, 2009;Ikem & Egiebor, 2005;Mendil et al, 2010;Mohapatra et al, 2009;Shiraishi, 2005;Sivaperumal et al, 2007;Tetsuro et al, 2005Tetsuro et al, , 2007Tuzen, 2009;Türkmen et al, 2009) than mean values previously found in fish and other seafood.…”
