TL;DR: In this article, the concentration of heavy metals in three commercially valuable fish species, Saurida undosquamis, Sparus aurata, Mullus barbatus, from Iskenderun Bay in August 2003, was measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS).

TL;DR: In this paper, the shelf life of red mullet and goldband goatfish during ice storage was studied in terms of sensory, microbiological and chemical changes, and the TVC level was correlated with sensory assessment.
219 citations
TL;DR: TTHQ values suggested that the local population could experience adverse health effects due to consumption of local seafood, mainly of demersal and benthic species, and the NMDS model highlighted species specific bioaccumulation processes and specific sensitivity of species to different bioavailable heavy metals.

TL;DR: In this paper, concentration of As, Cd, Cu, Hg and Pb were measured in muscle tissues of four fish species: anchovy (Engraulis encrasicholus), mackerel ( Scomber japonicus), red mullet ( Mullus surmuletus), and picarel ( Spicara smaris) from the Croatian waters of the Adriatic Sea during 2008 and 2009.

TL;DR: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were determined by an HPLC method with fluorescence detection in bivalves, cephalopods, crustaceans, and fish caught in the Gulf of Naples and mussels showed the highest PAH concentrations.
Abstract: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined by an HPLC method with fluorescence detection in bivalves (Mitylus galloprovincialis), cephalopods (Todarodes sagittatus), crustaceans (Aristeus antennatus), and fish (Mullus surmeletus, Scomber scombrus, Micromesistius poutassou, and Merluccius merluccius) caught in the Gulf of Naples (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy). Anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, chrysene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and benzo(k)fluoranthene were detected, at different concentrations, in all of the examined marine organisms, whereas benzo(a)pyrene, dibenz(a,h)anthracene, benzo(g,h,i)perylene, and indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene were found only in Mediterranean mussels. Of mussels collected in winter 71.43% exceeded the maximum residual levels (MRL) fixed for the benzo(a)pyrene in European Regulation 208/2005/EC, whereas all samples collected in summer reported values lower than this limit. In comparison to the other marine organisms, the mussels showed the highest PAH concentrations (p < 0.01). Fish showed total PAH levels lower than those of cephalopods and, in particular, European hake showed the lowest values (6.06 ng/g of fresh weight).
