Description 383-385
Trace element concentration in soft tissues of Marcia recens was analyzed in terms of its safety to human consumption, sex and season. Distribution of elements in whole soft tissue in descending order was zinc 38.76 +/- 9.63, copper 8.85 +/- 3.86, lead 4.83 +/- 2.06, nickel 1.41 +/- 1.19 and cadmium 0.66 +/- 0.71 mu g g(-1) dry wt. Except cadmium, concentration of all other elements studied (Zn, Cu, Pb) were found to be higher in females than in males. Only for Cu statistically significant difference was noticed between the seasons among the various elements studied. Concentration of all trace elements in the meat of M. recens are below the permissible limits for human consumption.
