| heavy metal concentrations in edible muscle of whitecheek shark, carcharhinus dussumieri (elasmobranchii, chondrichthyes) from the persian gulf: a food safety issue. | together with several health benefits, fish meat could lead to heavy metal intoxication of consumers. in this study, we discuss zn, cu, pb, hg and cd concentrations in fillets of forty specimens of carcharhinus dussumieri, analyzed with atomic adsorption spectroscopy (aas). the potential human health risks due to consumption of c. dussumieri was assessed by estimating average daily intake (edi) and target hazard quotient (thq) of metals. the average concentrations of metals measured in this stud ... | 2016 | 27593900 |
| species, sex, size and male maturity composition of previously unreported elasmobranch landings in kuwait, qatar and abu dhabi emirate. | this paper presents data from the first major survey of the diversity, biology and fisheries of elasmobranchs in the persian (arabian) gulf. substantial landings of elasmobranchs, usually as gillnet by-catch, were recorded in kuwait, qatar and the emirate of abu dhabi (part of the united arab emirates), although larger elasmobranchs from targeted line fisheries were landed in abu dhabi. the elasmobranch fauna recorded was distinctive and included species that are undescribed, rare and have a hig ... | 2012 | 22497401 |
| parasites as heavy metal bioindicators in the shark carcharhinus dussumieri from the persian gulf. | in this study the lead and cadmium concentrations in the liver, intestine, muscle and gonad of the shark carcharhinus dussumieri and its parasites, anthobothrium sp. and paraorigmatobothrium sp. (cestoda), were measured and compared. tissue samples were collected from iranian coastal waters of the persian gulf. after tissue preparation, the cadmium and lead concentrations were analysed using the inductively coupled plasma technique. the results revealed that lead and cadmium concentrations in bo ... | 2007 | 17326849 |
