Background and Objective: The release of metals in the aquatic environment is a great concern to the whole world as it has a great impact on the environment. In the current research, muscle samples were examined to evaluate the heavy metal amounts (Aluminum[Al], Lead [Pb], zinc [Zn], copper [Cu] and cadmium [Cd]). Materials and Methods: All samples were divided into two groups according to the weight group A (<5 g) and group B (>5 g) and were explored with the Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES). Results: The average estimated levels of Al, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd in the muscle of group A were 4.71±1.62, 0.46±0.21, 27.06±9.24, 9.40±1.27 and 0.23±0.05 µg g G 1 , respectively. Moreover, the average amount of the above metals concentrations in muscle for group B were 10.17±2.10, 0.73±0.20, 71.09±23.52, 11.29±7.15 and 0.32±0.05 µg g G 1 , respectively. The correlation between the different size groups and metals accumulation in muscle tissues were explored for both groups. Conclusion: The analyses indicated that Al, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd buildups in muscle tissues of Babylonia areolata collected from Karachi Fish Harbour Pakistan did not surpass limit values.
背景与目的:水生环境中金属的释放对环境有重大影响,是全世界关注的问题。在目前的研究中,通过检测肌肉样本来评估重金属含量(铝[Al]、铅[Pb]、锌[Zn]、铜[Cu]和镉[Cd])。材料与方法:所有样品按重量A组(5 g)分为两组,采用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法(ICP-OES)进行探测。结果:A组肌肉中Al、Pb、Zn、Cu、Cd的平均估计水平分别为4.71±1.62、0.46±0.21、27.06±9.24、9.40±1.27和0.23±0.05µg g g 1。B组肌肉中上述金属浓度的平均值分别为10.17±2.10、0.73±0.20、71.09±23.52、11.29±7.15和0.32±0.05µg g g 1。研究了不同体型组与肌肉组织中金属积累的相关性。结论:巴基斯坦卡拉奇渔港采集的乳斑巴比伦鱼肌肉组织中Al、Pb、Zn、Cu和Cd含量均未超标。
