Analysis and Determination of Trace Metals (Nickel, Cadmium, Chromium, and Lead) in Tissues ofPampus argenteusandPlatycephalus indicusin the Hara Reserve, Iran

[摘要] The accumulations of Cd, Ni, Pb, and Cr were measured in muscle, gill, kidney, and liver ofPlatycephalus indicusandPampus argenteus. Our results indicated that all metals were found to be the highest in tissues inP. indicus(benthic species). Except Ni inP. indicus, concentrations of metals and bioaccumulation factor were in the following sequence: liver > kidney > gill > muscle. The data revealed that there is a significant negative correlation between concentrations of metals and size and age factors. The Ni and Cr levels in the muscles were higher than the maximum acceptable limit recommended by WHO and FEPA. Similarly, the concentration of Pb measured inP. indicusmuscle exceeded the FAO standard limit.
