Levels of some heavy metals in fishes From Pahang river estuary, Pahang, Malaysia

Levels of some heavy metals in fishes From Pahang river estuary, Pahang, Malaysia

In this study, the concentration of Pb, Cu and Zn were determined in muscle, gills and stomach of six fish species caught from Pahang river estuary. These metals concentration were measured by ICP-MS in order to assess the fish contamination with these metals. This study showed that all catfishes (A...
