Levels of Mercury in Persian Gulf Frozen Fish Species
Severe discharge of sewage and industrial effluents into the Persian Gulf leads to the deposition of various types of heavy metals, especially lead and mercury, in the muscles of fish. Total mercury and methylmercury contents were determined in the edible parts (muscle tissue, fillet) of two different most popular frozen fish species from the Persian Gulf to ascertain whether the concentrations...
متن کاملBioaccumulation of mercury in some organs of two fish species from the Sanandaj Gheshlagh Reservoir, Iran
The purpose of this study was to monitor the concentrations of mercury in the edible muscle, gill, liver, and skin of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), in the Sanandaj Gheshlagh Reservoir, Iran. Mercury concentrations were assayed using Shimadzu AA 6600 atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and the results were given as µg/g wet weight. The level of mer...
متن کاملMercury in Selected Fish Species Over Time
We explored the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ (WI DNR) fish contaminant database to determine the availability and utility of historical (1970 2002) Hg records for different species and to identify lakes with historical Hg data. Walleye skin-on fillets were selected for further examination. This project supported processing and characterization of 310 additional walleyes from 36 la...
متن کاملBiodynamic understanding of mercury accumulation in marine and freshwater fish
Mercury (Hg) is a global environmental pollutant that has been the cause of many public concerns. One particular concern about Hg in aquatic systems is its trophic transfer and biomagnification in food chains. For example, the Hg concentration increases with the increase of food chain level. Fish at the top of food chain can accumulate high concentrations of Hg (especially the toxic form, methy...
متن کاملMercury levels of marine fish commonly consumed in Peninsular Malaysia
This study was conducted to determine the concentration of total mercury in the edible portion of 46 species of marine fish (n = 297) collected from selected major fish landing ports and wholesale markets throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Samples were collected in June to December 2009. Prior to analysis, the fish samples were processed which consisted of drying at 65 °C until a constant weight w...
