| Özet |
| In this study, Fe, Zn, Pb and Cd have been measured in muscle tissues of Otolithes cuvieri collected from Fish Harbour West Wharf Karachi, Pakistan during the year of 2008. The Fe concentrations in fish tissues were 6 to 88 times higher than those of other heavy metals. Cd was the lowest in the tissues. Fe, Zn, Pb and Cd levels in edible muscle of O. cuvieri ranged from 15 to 54 µg Fe/g, 2.56 to 9.43 µg Zn/g, 0.13 to 0.87 µg Pb/g and 0.11 to 0.92 µg Cd/g, respectively. The values obtained lower as compared to maximum permissible limit of the food regulations and international standards and would not pose any health hazards to human consumption. |
