Lithophaga Lithophaga

The edible mussel Lithophaga lithophaga is considered as one of the most important human food sources in Alexandria, Mediterranean Sea. The present study is designed to determine the seasonal bioaccumulation levels of Cd, Co and Pb in the whole soft tissues as well as different tissues of Lithophaga lithophaga. Results revealed that the seasonal bioaccumulation levels of Cd, Co and Pb in date mussel were below the permissible limits or other reported values from other regions of the Mediterranean. On the other hand, the order of metals accumulation level in different tissues was as follows: digestive gland>remaining soft tissues>gonads. The present study confirmed the role of digestive gland as a concentration center for heavy metals. Moreover, total protein content and stress protein responses of the whole soft tissues were evaluated. The total protein content was arranged in the following order: summer>autumn>spring>winter. Five novel stress proteins appeared in summer. The histological and ultrastructural studies of the digestive gland of Lithophaga lithophaga collected in summer and spring showed marked histopathological alternations.

Heavy metal pollution was reported in commercially valuable and edible pigeon (Columba livia, Gmelin 1789) of Bangladesh. The concentrations of As, Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn, and Cu were investigated in the muscle, intestine, kidney, gizzard and liver. For this 60 C. livia were selected from five locations to assess the degree of pollution by heavy metals in pigeon. Significant differences in heavy metal concentrations were observed among different tissues, but not among the locations. The ranges of the measured concentrations (?g/g dry weight) in the tissues of C. livia were as follows: arsenic: (0.01–0.04), (0.02–0.04), (0.02–0.08), (0.02–0.04) and (0.03–0.07); lead: (0.21–0.56), (0.07–1.64), (0.62–1.97), (0.41–0.79) and (1.47–5.75); cadmium: (0.01–-0.05), (0.13–0.97), (0.53–1.85), (0.32– 0.78) and (0.22–2.41); chromium: (0.25–1.93), (1.18–5.90), (1.59–4.40), (1.15–1.65) and (1.38–8.36); zinc: (73.22–256.56), (95.62–130.75), (19.87–67.18), (108.99–124.77) and (159.80–280.76); copper: (3.44–7.64), (5.30–17.50), (8.72–16.55), (1.19–34.42) and (26.09–43.60) in the muscle, intestine, kidney, gizzard, and liver, respectively. This research showed that the liver appeared to be the main storage site of heavy metals, while the muscle had the lowest levels of the analyzed metals. The concentrations of metal in the muscles were not found to exceed the acceptable level for human consumption.

In this study, Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd) and Chromium (Cr) concentrations were determined in muscle, liver, kidney, gills and gonads of Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta) collected from Karachi fish Harbour, Karachi coast, Pakistan, during August 2006 and December 2011. Generally, the fish showed the highest level of Ni (2.26+0.89 µg g-1), Pb (1.45+0.40 µg g-1), Cd (2.07+0.75 µg g-1) and Cr (1.52+0.69 µg g-1) in the liver. The studied metals were the most abundant in the liver than the other organs of the fish. The amount of metal accumulation in fish tissues was evaluated in terms of human health. It was seen that bioaccumulations in muscle tissues of the fish caught from Karachi coast of Pakistan did not exceed the limit values.

The purpose of this study is to determine the micro minerals composition i.e. iron, zinc, copper, and iodine) and heavy metals i.e. lead, cadmium, and mercury) on three groups of weight of milkfish (Chanos chanos). Micro minerals and heavy metals were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrofotometric (AAS). The results showed that the highest levels of micro minerals were found at weight ±150 g (6.95±0.16 mg of zinc/kg of dry basis, copper 0.55±0.01 mg/kg of dry basis , and iron 12.14±0.06 mg/kg of dry basis. The highest iodine content contain was found at weight 102 g ± is 76.33±0.01 mg/100g of dry basis. The concentrations obtained in lead was 0.143±0.0057 mg/kg, cadmium was 0.0433±0.011 mg/kg, and mercury was 0.143±0.0057 mg/kg of dry basis,. The heavy metals level from Tanjung Pasir Tangerang District are safe to be comsumed since it is still below the limit for food savety.
