Accumulation of microelements (metals and metalloids) in european catfish (Silurus Glanis, Linnaeus, 1758) from the Prut river
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigatethe levels of trace metals and metaloise (Fe,Zn,Al,,Sr,Ge, Be, Mn, Ba, Ga, Cu, Bi, As, Se, Ni, Te, Ti, Sb, Sn, Cr, Pb, Ag, V, Cd) in muscle ,skil,, liver, and gonade of freshwater fish, Linnaeus, 1758, from River Prut. The concentrations were different between the tissues of fish. Results showed that the microelements concentrations in difetent tissues of were prezented in descending order. Results also showed that the concentrations in the muscle and gonades of Silurus glanis are below levels of concern for human consumption.
