| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to investigate the level concentration of metallic elements in muscle and liver tissue of marine fish (pagothenia borchgrevinki) in the Antarctic ocean and may be can provide a baseline for further investigation of the quality of the Antarctic ocean environment. Tissue and body organs of Antarctic fish (pagothenia borchgrevinki) as muscle, liver and the mixture of bone and muscle can be good indicators for Hg, Cd, and Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, and Ni contamination of the fish respectively because those contain the greatest percentage of the total metal. From comparative study of the level of heavy metals accumulated in various organisms in Antarctic Ocean environment, it may be said that these organisms have tendency to accumulate different metals in their body organs. : European Chemical Bulletin, Vol 3, No 2 (2014): European Chemical Bulletin |
