Abstract

Total (36) samples of Sardinella melanura fish were collected from Balochistan coast during Pre-monsoon, Mon-soon, and Post-monsson (from January 2006 to December 2006). The
highest Fe (456), Mn (5.95), Cd (1.24), Pb (1.49), Cr (1.38) were found in liver of fish in µg/g. Although muscles showed the lowest metal levels, livers showed the higher metal levels in all season of the year.

Abstract

Total (36) samples of
Sardinella melanura fish were
collected from Balochistan coast during Pre-monsoon, Mon-soon, and Post-monsson
(from January 2006 to December 2006). The highest Fe (456), Mn (5.95), Cd
(1.24), Pb (1.49), Cr (1.38) were found in liver of fish in µg/g. Although
muscles showed the lowest metal levels, livers showed the higher metal levels
in all season of the year.
