Mercury Levels in Selected Tissues of Blue Crab Thalamita prymna (Portunidae) from Musa Estuary, of the Persian Gulf
Content of mercury in hepatopancreas, muscle and exoskeleton of blue crab T. prymna from Musa estuary and their relationship with size of the organism and season were determined. Mean concentration of mercury in hepatopancreas, muscle and exoskeleton were 1.23, 0.61 and 0.41 µg/g dw, respectively. There was significant difference (p<0.05) in mercury levels depending on the sex with greater ...

متن کاملInvestigation of influence of size (total length) and sex on accumulation of Pb in liver and muscle tissues of Platycephalus indicus fish in Musa estuary (northwest of Persian Gulf)
This study was undertaken to determine the concentration of Pb in liver and muscle tissues of Platycephalus indicus fish collected from two creeks Jafari and Behad (Musa estuary, northwestern Persian Gulf) and was conducted to survey influence of total length and sex on accumulation of Pb in fish tissues during Agust 2010. Concentration of Pb in sediments was also measured. Total number of fish...
متن کاملassessment of sources and concentration of metal contaminants in marine sediments of musa estuary, persian gulf
introduction we can obtain useful information about aquatic systems by studying heavy metals in surface sediments. marine sediments can bring out the aquatic contamination. due to heavy metal toxicity, hard biodegradation and easy bioaccumulation in aquatic ecosystems, various indices have been developed such as sediment quality guidelines (sqgs), enrichment factor (ef), pollution load index (i...
