Abstract
Contamination of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn in the flesh on the two types of fish consisting pelagic fish include Black pomfert ( Formio niger ) whereas among other demersal fish include Tongue sand ( Cynoglossus lingua ), was conducted in March-December 2013, which was taken from the western part of Madura Strait (Gresik-Ujung pangkah, Surabaya-Kenjeran, and Sidoarjo-Sedati). Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn detected using AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrometry) brand Shimadzu AA-6200. The highest content of heavy metals, namely Pb in Cynoglossus lingua from the Sedati (5.63ppm±0.05), while a low of Cd in Formio niger from the Ujung pangkah (0.20ppm±0.004). The results show that there is a correlation between heavy metal with fish but not significantly. The content of Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn in 2 fish species originating from all locations stated below the exposure limits for consumption. Safe limit fish consumption of Formio niger is based on the WHO PTWI of 347.43 grams / week and Cynoglossus lingua 191.25 grams / week. Key words: Pelagic fish, Demersal fish, Black pomfert ( Formio niger ), Tongue sand( Cynoglossus lingua ), Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Western part of Madura Strait
