Concentration of heavy metals and its risk assessments on Pseudotolithus senegalensis, Sciaenops ocellatus and Chloroscombrus chrysurus smoked on different ovens
This study sought to investigate the concentration of heavy metals and risk assessment in the fresh and smoked fish tissues (Muscles, gills and bones) of Pseudotolithus senegalensis, Sciaenops ocellatus, and Chloroscombrus chrysurus. Pseudotolithus senegalensis, Sciaenops ocellatus, and Chloroscombr...
