determination of metal levels in muscle, liver and gill of common carp ( cyprinus carpio ) species caught from shirinsu wetland was done using icp-oes. the mean level of cu, pb and zn in muscle, liver and gill of fish were 0.01±0.002, 0.015±0.003, 0.007±0.001; 0.13±0.005, 0.006±0.001, 0.62±0.11 and 0.26±0.008, 0.009±0.002, 0.53±0.10 μg g −1 , respectively. metal levels in muscle were generally ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Concentrations of Cd, Hg and As were measured by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) in muscle, liver and gill tissues of common carp from the Shirinsu Wetland during February to March 2013. Methods: Fish samples (Cyprinus carpio) were caught from Shirinsu Wetland, western Iran from February to March 2013. Specimens were frozen in prewashed polyethylene ...
