Abstract
In this paper, concentrations of trace metals such as Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, As, Se, Ag, Cd and Pb were determined in Mugil cephalus of the middle Black Sea coasts by employing inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and microwave digestion technique. Different parts of fish samples were analysed separately such as the gill, muscle and liver. The accuracy of the results has been checked by using a certified reference material (DORM-4). The highest trace metal values determined in different parts of fish were Cr in muscle tissue (0.416μg/g), Mn in gill tissue (52.246μg/g), Fe in muscle tissue (11.899μg/g), Ni in muscle tissue (108.057μg/g), Cu in liver tissue (261.911μg/g), As in liver tissue (4.162μg/g), Se in liver tissue (11.418μg/g), Ag in liver tissue (0.323μg/g), Cd in liver tissue (1.11μg/g) and Pb in gill tissue (3.047μg/g). These results were also compared with various relevant literature and guidelines.
