Abstract:
:The spatial distributions of Na, Mg, K, Ca, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se and Pb in Hemibagrus sp. from Selangor River and a reference site were determined with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer, in comparison to the levels in their surrounding water body and sediments. The results demonstrated significant differences in elemental accumulation pattern in different fish tissues originated from both sites. The variations observed were mainly subjected to their metabolic activities, and also the influence of the surrounding medium. In general, the liver tends to accumulate higher concentration of metals followed by the gills, and muscle tissues. The data also indicate associations between the concentrations of metal contaminants measured in the fish and the levels observed at the sites. The concentrations of hazardous metals As, Se and Pb in all the studied tissues reflect the influence of anthropogenic inputs. This suggests the potential utility of widely available Hemibagrus sp. as a valuable bioindicator of metal pollution in environmental monitoring and assessment.
