Abstract
Different studies even on same shrimp species and same heavy metals from same locations may be inconsistent with each other. Because of their important on a food safety risk, therefore, a meta-analysis is required to evaluate the true risk level to human consumption for these aquatic organisms. In this study, commercially important two shrimp species, Penaeus semisulcatus (de Hann, 1844) and Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798), from İskenderun Bay were considered in a meta-analysis for their some heavy metal content (Cadmium-Cd, Zinc-Zn, Lead-Pb, and Copper-Cu). Meta-analysis results (mean±Sd) were evaluated according to the reference values that are maximum permissible limit (dry-wet, mg/kg) for shrimp as follow; Cd (1 mg/kg), Zn (50 mg/kg), Pb (2 mg/kg) and Cu (20 mg/kg). For Cd, M. monoceros (0.93±0.02 mg/kg) was not exceeded the reference limit (p>0.05), while, P. semisulcatus (3.93±0.12 mg/kg) was exceeded (p

Pollution from metals is a vital problem affecting estuaries and coastal areas (Rushinadha et al, 2016)
Heavy metal accumulation in aquatic organisms has been a serious problem due to environmental pollution caused by anthropogenic activities (Yılmaz et al, 2017)
In studies conducted in Iskenderun Bay, when the heavy metal values recommended by the Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) and the European Union (EU) (Nabavi et al, 2011) were compared for shrimps, it was observed that some heavy metal levels detected in some tissues were higher
Summary
Pollution from metals is a vital problem affecting estuaries and coastal areas (Rushinadha et al, 2016). A Meta Analysis on The Heavy Metal Content of Two Shrimp Species, Penaeus Semisulcatus (De Hann, 1844) And Metapenaeus Monoceros (Fabricius, 1798) From İskenderun Bay. KSU J.
