Description
Summary:Content of heavy metals was determined in the muscle tissues of 11 fish species from Ayeyawady River segment between Nanda Kyun village, Patheingyi Township and Kyauk Myaung Bridge, Sintgu Township during the cold season of 2019-2020. The fish samples were analyzed in the laboratory of Material Science Research Division, Department of Research and Innovation, Kyaukse. Content of heavy metals in tissue samples was determined by using Shimadzu's ICPE-9820 multitype ICP Emission Spectrometer. The results indicated that the highest concentration of arsenic (As) was found in Wallago attu (0.37 ppm) while the mercury (Hg) content was the highest in Osteobrama belangeri (0.31 ppm). However, Ompko bimaculatus contained the highest concentration of cadmium (Cd) (0.30 ppm), copper (Cu) (1.87 ppm) and lead (Pb) (0.81 ppm) among the fish species studied. The concentrations of heavy metals in the sampled fish are within the permissible limits of FAO/WHO (2011) except for the concentration of lead which some fish species showed beyond the acceptable limits.
