Total mercury concentration in common fish species of Lake Victoria, Tanzania

Biomagnification of mercury in fish from Thruston Bay, Napoleon Gulf, Lake Victoria (East Africa)

organic and total mercury concentration in fish muscle and thermodynamic study of organic mercury extraction in fish protein

mehg and total mercury concentrations were determined in the muscle tissues of four fish species (cyprinus carpio, rutilus frisii, carassius auratus and esox lucius) from anzali wetland (guilan, iran). fish with the highest amount of mehg was selected to determine the thermodynamic parameters of mehg extraction. the extractions process was performed in the range of temperatures 331.15 to 367.15...

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...

Evaluating Total Mercury and Methyl Mercury Contents in Canned Tuna Fish of the Persian Gulf

Due to hygienic risks of mercury residues in food and marine originated supplements, measuring total mercury and methyl mercury contents of canned tuna as a highly consumable marine food product is essential. In this study, 40 canned Tuna fish (from Persian Gulf) were collected in 2015 and then flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS) and thermo gas chromatography mass spectrophotometry were...
