Evaluation of metal content in perch of the Ob River basin

The geochemical features of river perch in the River Ob basin have been studied (the upper and middle reaches of the Ob River and the lower reach of the Tom River). The contents of Ag, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sn, W, Zn, Hg in perch's soft tissue are defined by the methods of ICP...

Description
Summary:The geochemical features of river perch in the River Ob basin have been studied (the upper and middle reaches of the Ob River and the lower reach of the Tom River). The contents of Ag, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sn, W, Zn, Hg in perch's soft tissue are defined by the methods of ICP AES and stripping voltammetry, that of mercury in bones - by the atomic absorption method using mercury analyzer РА-915+. The distribution series of metal absolute concentrations in perch's soft tissue from the Ob River basin are plotted: Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn, typical for uncontaminated or slightly metal contaminated water bodies. In soft tissue of the studied samples the metal content does not exceed the permissible values. The mercury content in bones of studied samples is in the range 0,036-0,556 mg/kg. The mercury concentration is higher in bones in comparison with soft tissue in all samples.
