| Abstract | Concentrations of Cu,Zn, Ni,Cd,Pb and Hg in four species of edible fishes viz- Saurida tumbil, Nemipterus japonicus, epinephelus diacanthus and Priacanthus hamrur collected during pre-monsoon period, from 60 m depth, off southwest coast of India (Lat. 8 degree 42' 9degree 05'N: Long. 76 degree 21'- 76 degree 10' E) (Cruise No. 184 of FORV Sagar Sampada), were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES). In all the species analysed, concentration of Zn was found higher. Maximum concentration of all the matals studies was found higher. Maximum concentration of all tissue. Highest concentration of Hg was found in Nemipterus japonicus. Howerver, Hg was not detected in saurida tumbil and Epinephelus diacanthus.Considerable difference in concentration levels of trace metals in the samples analysed were found well within the safe limits prescribed by WHO and FAO. |
