Abstract:
The current research was performed to detect the heavy metal amounts (Hg, As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) in one of the most common fish species (Scorpaena porcus Linnaeus, 1758) captured from the south shores of the Black Sea during the fishing season in 2016. Heavy metals were examined by using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectrophotometer). The amounts of the metals (Hg, Pb and Cd) in some specimen were under the detection limits. The maximum levels of all measured metals are as low the recommended limit by the admitted organizations. It was shown that the measured metal amounts in edible tissue of the S. porcus were under the well-being levels for people consumption for the average Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) and Hazarded Index (HI˂1).
