Abstract

The trace elements are a serious threat to aquatics as well as human health, as they resistant to degradation and high potential for bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms so present study aimed to evaluate the order and concentration of trace elements accumulated in edible muscle tissue of Common perch (Perca fluviatilis) sampled from Siah Darvishan River considered one of the species of fish as high economic and ecological value and finally, determined its health status for human consumption purposes. In the present experiment, concentration of eleven elements (Se, Fe, Ni, Zn, Pb, Cd, Hg, Cu, Cr, Mn and As) in muscle tissue of 25 Common perch captured by cast net from Siah Darvishan River (Guilan province, Iran) were monitored and evaluated using by Varian® atomic absorption spectroscopy. The mean elements in muscle tissue have been observed, as follows: Zinc (33/418), Iron (20/127), Copper (5/729), Manganese (1/849), Lead (0/864), Selenium (0/691), Arsenic (0/594), Cadmium (0/273), Nickel (0/253), Chromium (0/176) and Mercury (0/089) microgram per gram dry weight, respectively. The results of this study showed that the mean bio- accumulation of all the elements investigated in muscle tissue of Common perch, except the four trace elements; Cadmium, Manganese, Arsenic and Lead were at lower level than the Organization (FAO/WHO) acceptable standard. These results indicate requisiteness for more attention to enhancing factors of these elements in environment of the mentioned species.
