Description:
In the present study Cd concentration was measured in sediment and muscle and liver tissues of Platycephalus indicus fish from vicinity of petrochemical industries and Bihad and Jafari estuary. 30 fish samples and 9 sediment samples were collected from each site by Ahwaz fishery center. After digestion samples according to MOOPAM 1999 instruction, were analyzed by ICP-OES. Mean of Cd concentrations were significantly higher in sediments and liver tissue of fish collected from exposed site compared to reference site (P〈0.05). Cd concentration in muscle tissue was below detection limit and the highest Cd concentration was detected in liver (1.23 µg/g dw). High Cd concentration of liver than muscle is probably due to its high metabolically activity in detoxification and excretion processes.
