- Abstract
Levels of metals in commercially important two species, Engraulis encrasicolus L., 1758 and Spicara smaris L, 1758 from Black, Marmara and Aegean seas, Turkey was evaluated. The concentration ranges of cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead and zinc in the samples were 0.01–0.07, 0.01–0.08, 0.09–0.51, 0.21–8.58, 11.9–169, 0.14–2.82, 0.06–1.51, 0.12–0.87, 7.12–45.6 mg kg−1 for muscles, and 0.06–0.69, 0.06–0.53, 0.28–2.97, 0.99–30.7, 55.2–316, 0.72–9.67, 0.47–11.6, 0.26–3.38, 12.5–145 mg kg−1 for livers, respectively. The present study show that although different metals were present in the samples at different levels but within the maximum residual levels prescribed by the TKB and FAO the specimens from these areas, in general, are safe for human consumption.
