摘要

Abstract

Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) concentrations were determined in the tissues (muscle

stomach

liver

gills

skin

and gonads) of five commercial fish species (mullet Liza haematocheilus

flathead Platycephalus indicus

mackerel Scomberomorus niphonius

silver pomfret Pampus argenteus

and sea bass Lateolabrax japonicus) from Laizhou Bay in the Bohai Sea. Metal bioaccumulation was highest in the metabolically active tissues of the gonads and liver. Bioconcentration factors for Zn were higher in all tissues (gonads 44.35

stomach 7.73

gills 7.72

liver 5.61

skin 4.88

and muscle 1.63) than the corresponding values for Cu (gonads 3.50

stomach 3.00

gills 1.60

liver 5.43

skin 1.50

and muscle 0.93). Mackerel tissues accumulated metal to higher concentrations than did other fish species

but bioaccumulation levels were not significantly correlated with the trophic levels of the fish. Zn and Cu concentrations in the tissues were generally negatively correlated with fish length

except for a few tissues of sea bass. Risk assessment based on national and international permissible limits and provisional tolerances for weekly intake of Zn and Cu revealed that the concentrations of these two metals in muscle were relatively low and would not pose hazards to human health.
