Although fish, crustacean, and shellfish are significant sources of protein, they are currently affected by rapid industrialization, resulting in increased concentrations of heavy metals. Accumulation of heavy metals (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sb, Ba, and Pb) and associated human health risk were investigated in three fish species, namely Ailia coila, Gagata youssoufi, and Mast...

Bioaccumulation of six heavy metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) in the muscle of highly consumed fish species (Mastacembelus armatus) were measured using atomic absorption spectrometer. Fe (213.29 mg/kg dry weight) concentration was the most, followed by Zn (186.19 mg/kg dry weight), Ni (58.98 mg/kg dry weight), Cu (41.36 mg/kg dry weight), Co (9.06 mg/kg dry weight) and Mn (9.03 mg/kg dry weight)...

This study was aimed to determine the effect of a freezing extender developed for Mesopotamian spiny eel (Mastacembelus mastacembelus Banks & Solander, 1794). Mesopotamian spiny eel was caught from May to July 2017 in the Atatürk Dam Lake and Euphrates Basin (meridians) in Şanliurfa, Turkey. During the study, the animals (n=10; 8 males, 2 females) were caught with gill nets (22 mm×22 mm, mesh s...

this study has been carried out to determine the accumulation of heavy metals (arsenic, copper, lead, tin and zinc) in fish samples collected from former tin mining catchment. total eight types of fish family having fifteen different species are identified. cyperinidae is the most abundant family with eight different species found in the catchment. fish samples were analysed by using inductivel...
