| Özet |
| Concentrations of heavy metals Cd, Fe, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, Cr and Mn in muscles, liver, kidneyand gills of marine and native commercial fish of Chacunda gizzard shad Anodontostoma chacundacollected from Karachi fish harbour were determined to conduct a health risk assessment for peopleby the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The obtained results were expressed mg/kg dryweight. Results showed that Fe and Zn concentrations were the most abundant among all tissueswhereas Cd and Pb levels were the lowest. The data obtained in this study were compared with theinternational maximum permissible values. The estimated values of all metals in muscles of fish inthis study were below the permissible limits. Generally, risk values for the measured metals do notpose unacceptable risks at mean ingestion rate for edible tissues. It can be concluded that the heavymetal levels in edible parts of A. chacunda have no hazards for consumers |
