1 - The Effect of Cold and Warm Seasons on Accumulation of Nickel, Cadmium and Lead in Muscle of Acanthopagrus latus and Platycephalus indicus from Oman Sea (Chabahar)
E. Shahri M. Velayatzadeh

This study was done in order to determine the concentration of heavy metals Nickle, Cadmium and Lead in the muscle of Acanthopagrus latus and Platycephalus indicus from Oman Sea (Chabahar Bay) in spring, summer and fall of 2013. In this study 48 samples of fishes were o More

This study was done in order to determine the concentration of heavy metals Nickle, Cadmium and Lead in the muscle of Acanthopagrus latus and Platycephalus indicus from Oman Sea (Chabahar Bay) in spring, summer and fall of 2013. In this study 48 samples of fishes were obtained from coastal and marine regions of Oman Sea (Chabahar Bay). Metals were extracted from the tissues using wet digestion method and concentration of heavy metals were measured by Younglin AAS8020 Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The highest concentration of Cd, Pb and Ni were found in the muscle of Platycephalus indicus which were 0.052±0.02, 0.047±0.02 and 1.768±0.96 mg kg-1. The lowest concentration of Cd, Pb and Ni were obtained in the muscle of Acanthopagrus latus which were 0.019±0.01, 0.010±0.01 and 0.466±0.02 mg kg-1. Concentration of Cd, Pb and Ni in the two fishes from coastal zone was higher than marine area. Concentration of heavy metals in the muscle of Acanthopagrus latus and Platycephalus indicus in summer was higher than spring and fall. Concentration of Ni in the two fishes was higher than Cd and Pb. Concentration of Cd and Pb in the muscle of Platycephalus indicus from coastal and marine zone in spring, summer and fall was higher than Acanthopagrus latus, but concentration of Ni in the muscle of Acanthopagrus latus was higher than Platycephalus indicus. Concentration of Cd and Pb was lower in comparison with levels recommended by FAO, WHO, UKMAFF, NHMRC and FDA, but concentration of Ni was higher in comparison with international standards.

 This study determined the concentrations of mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic in the muscle and liver of Liza klunzingeri from Khuzestan province. In this study, 18 samples of L. klunzingeri were collected from Hendijan seaport in winter. The concentrations of heavy metals were obtained by atomic absorption spectrometry (Perkin Elmer 4100). The average length and weight of L. klunzingeri were 18.77±0.95 cm and 78.27±3.68 g, respectively. Concentration of Hg, Cd, Pb and As in muscle of L. klunzingeri were0.033±0.009, 0.171±0.017, 0.265±0.009, 0.092±0.008 mg kg-1 dry weight. Also, the amounts of these toxic metals in L. klunzingeri were 0.052±0.009, 0.224±0.011, 0.323±0.017, 0.160±0.008 mg kg-1 dry weight, respectively. The mercury, cadmium, lead and arsenic concentrations in liver of L. klunzingeri were higher than their levels in muscle. In this study, there was no significant positive  correlationbetweenconcentration of Hg, Cd, Pb and As with length and weight in muscle of Liza klunzingeri (P<0.05).Accumulation ofHg, Pb and As in muscle of Liza klunzingeri was lower than the WHO, FDA and NHMRC standards, but concentration of Cd was higher than the NHMRC standards.
