Abstract :
Heavy metals contamination is one of the most serious problems around the world. Regarding the increasing trend of the tendency for seafood consuming in Iran, assurance to the health of these foods would be of great concern for the consumers. Accordingly, the present study was conducted in order to assess the concentrations of some toxic metals in the captured shrimps from the northern coasts of Oman sea as well as to investigate their health risk for the eaters. For this purpose, 40 samples were obtained at two times from each station (Hormoz, Jask, and Chabahar). Samples preparation and measuring of heavy metals (Cr, Pb, Zn, Cd, and Ni) have been accomplished via wet digestion method and atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), respectively. Results showed a significant difference (P<0.05) was observed between the cadmium concentrations of shrimps captured from Jask port (0.08 µg/g) with Strait of Hormuz (0.022 µg/g) and Chabahar Bay (0.021 µg/g) samples. Moreover, white Indian shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus) contained significantly (P<0.05) more cadmium residues (0.448 µg/g) than other species including Jinga (Metapenaeus affinis), kiddi (Parapenaeopsis stylifera), and banana shrimp (F. merguiensis). Heavy metals contents in all shrimp samples were below the acceptance limit of WHO and FAO standards. Furthermore, total THQ for children (0.258) and adults (0.147) were found less than 1. Consequently, continuous and even daily consumption of the Oman sea shrimps is not a health hazard for the consumers.
