Abstract :

With the transfer of pollutants to the aquatic environment, there is a possibility of absorption and accumulation of some heavy metals in the tissues of the fish body through the food chain or water. The higher average concentration of heavy metals in fish compared to international standards can be considered as a serious alarm for relevant officials and institutions because the continuous use of this products can cause dangerous diseases. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to study heavy metals in farmed rainbow trout of SosanSorekh region of Andika water. For this purpose, this study was carried out on the farmed trout fish of SosanSorekh region of Andika water. After preparing samples from fish, measuring the concentration of heavy metals remaining in fish muscle, including As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sn and Zn was measured. Results showed that Zn and Cd were the maximum and minimum concentrations in meat of rainbow trout. Compared the values ​​of heavy metals measured with international hygienic standards showed that the concentration of all metals were significantly lower than the limit (p < 0.05). The assessment of health risk showed that daily and continuous consumption of these products by consumers except Pb, Hg and As is completely safe and there is no risk for them. The mean concentration of all measured heavy metals were less than global standards. Estimation of daily receiving in all metals, except for As and Pb, showed that the use of rainbow trout did not currently cause a danger for human health, However, in order to prevent the occurrence of potential pollution in the future, management should be paid more attention to these pollutants and resources.
