Abstract
Most heavy metals which bio-accumulate in shes, especially predatory species do not have any biological signi cance or bene cial use, but
due to the presence of heavy metal sh can pose a health risk to consumers. The objective of this research is to determine mercury (Hg),
cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) levels in samples of yellow n tuna, Thunnus albacores (n=25), sword sh, Xiphias gladius (n=35), and red
snapper, Lutjanus sp (n=12). Samples were prepared by dividing edible parts into small pieces and homogenizing. Total Hg was measured by
cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry whereas the Pb and Cd were analysed by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after
microwave-assisted digestion. Sword sh contains highest mercury and cadmium concentrations while yellow n tuna contained the highest
lead concentrations. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in sh muscles were found to be 1.24± 0.72 mg/kg (Hg), 0.13±0.83 mg/kg
(Cd) and 0.03±0.04 mg/kg (Pb) in sword sh and 0.39± 0.19 mg/kg (Hg), 0.02±0.02 mg/kg (Cd) and 0.06±0.06 mg/kg (Pb) in yellow n tuna. In
red snapper concentrations were 0.17± 0.06 mg/kg (Hg), 0.02±0.01 mg/kg (Cd) and 0.04±0.05 mg/kg (Pb).

Introduction
Fishes are an essential food items providing high nutritional value and are
important sources of high quality protein, low saturated fat, omega-3 fatty acids,
iodine and some vitamins (Gamal and Shamery 2010). Medical Research Institute
of Sri Lanka recommends the increase of per capita consumption of fish to 21 kg
per year (NARA 2007). Tuna and swordfish are commercial important varieties,
which have a vast demand in both local as well as the export markets.
Due to the pollution of the aquatic environment, fishes accumulate a

significant amount of heavy metals. Some metal like copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and zinc

(Zn) are essential for fish metabolism while other metals like mercury (Hg), lead
(Pb) and cadmium (Cd) have no known biological role, but known to be extremely
toxic at even low concentrations (Mwashote 2003). The pollution of marine
ecosystems is a worldwide problem, and the situation is aggravated by the ability of
these ecosystems to concentrate and accumulate some metals within food chains
(Mwashote 2003). Especially predatory fish species bio-accumulates substantial
concentration of lead, cadmium and mercury in their tissues and thus can represent
a major dietary source of these elements to the humans (Voegborlo and Akagi
a major dietary source of these elements to the humans (Voegborlo and Akagi
2007). When such trace metals are present in fish they can pose a serious threat to
the health of consumers. Chronic exposure to mercury can cause problems in the
central nervous system (CNS) and the areas mainly affected are those associated
with the sensory, visual and auditory functions (WHO, 1976) while exposure to lead
are manifest in three organ systems; the haematological system, the central nervous
system (CNS) and the renal system (Hutton 1987). The kidney is the critical organ
of intoxication after long-term exposure to cadmium (Hutton 1987).
Due to the presence of these trace metals in fish exceeding the levels
allowed by legislations, fishes are subjected to rejection within the local market as
well as the export market. As such, it is becoming a growing concern among
consumers on the consequences of trace metal poisoning and the routes of
poisoning (Liyanage 2009). Therefore, the objectives of the study were to determine
mercury, cadmium, and lead levels in samples of three commercially important fish
species in the local market of Sri Lanka.
Materials and methods
Samples of yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacores (n=25), swordfish, Xiphias

gladius (n=35) and red snapper, Lutjanus sp (n=12) were collected from the local
fish market during the period of August to October 2009. Length and weight of each
fish were measured. Samples were preserved in ice and transported to the analytical
chemistry laboratory, Institute of Post Harvest Technology (IPHT), National
Aquatic Research and Development Agency (NARA). In the laboratory,
approximately 500 g of edible portion of the belly area was obtained from each fish
and placed in separate vacuum-packed bags.
A CEM/MARS XP-1500+ microwave oven was used for the microwave
assisted digestion of fish samples. The program has a working pressure 800 psi and
can operate at temperatures up to 200°C. For microwave digestion, 1 g of
homogenized sample was accurately weighed and transferred directly into the
microwave vessels. For each sample, 10 ml of Conc. HNO3 (AR-Sigma) were
added. The analytical reagent blanks were also prepared and these contained only
the acids. All blank and spiked samples were taken in duplicate. The vessels were
sealed and placed into the rotor of microwave system. After the digestion process,
the digested liquids were transferred to the 50 ml volumetric flask and volume up
using de-ionized water. The samples were tested for lead, cadmium using a Spectra
AA 220 Zeeman Atomic Absorbent Spectrophotometer with graphite tube atomizer
(Varian GTA-120), and background correction was applied. Samples were tested
for mercury using a cold vapor atomic absorbance spectrophotometer (Varian
VGA-77). Then the data were recorded in excel 2010 and statistically analysed
using SPSS 16 software.
Results and discussion
The variation of weight and length of fish is shown in Table 1. The highest
mean length was recorded from swordfish (141 cm) and lowest mean length was
recorded from red snapper (55 cm). The mean length value of yellowfin tuna was
128 cm. Meanwhile highest mean weight was recorded from swordfish (50.8 kg)
and the lowest mean weight was recorded from red snapper (2.5 kg) while the mean
weight of yellowfin tuna was 46.3 kg.

in parentheses.

The spiked samples are routinely analysed to perform the methods

validation procedure. The results of spiked samples were maintained within the
range and the recovery limits between 80-120%.
The size of a fish is known as determining factor of its Hg burden
(Kojadinivic et al. 2006) and has confirmed with the present data. Both swordfish
and yellowfin tuna had positive significant correlation of body size with Hg and Cd.
Body size of red snapper showed a positive correlation only with Cd concentration.

The analytical chemistry laboratory of NARA, where the analysis was performed,
has participated proficiency testing program within the same time with Fapas/UK
with satisfactory results (07115/2009, Z=0. 1).
Swordfish contained the highest mean mercury level of 1.24 mg/kg, as well
as the highest mean cadmium concentration of 0.13 mg/kg, and the while yellowfin
tuna contained the highest mean concentration of lead of 0.06 mg/kg. The mean
mercury and cadmium concentrations between fish species were significantly

(p<0.05), while the mean lead concentration was not significantly different
(p>0.05). The summary of the trace metal results is given in Table 2. The highest
risk was observed in swordfish considering the Hg concentration. Because, 57% of
swordfish samples exceeded the maximum permissible levels (MPL) of European
legislation (1 mg/kg) while none of the sample from other two did not show the
exceeding the MPL value, regarding the Hg. According to the American Pregnancy
Association (APA), they have categorized swordfish in the highest Hg group,
yellowfin tuna in high Hg group and red snapper in lower Hg group (APA, 2013).

Conclusions
The levels of trace metals in studying fish species studied is generally, were
safe according to the European legislation. However, higher levels of Hg in
swordfish need to be considered when dealing with particularly sensitive sectors
(pregnant woman, lactating woman infant and children) of the population. Positive
relationships were observed between body size of swordfish and yellowfin tuna
with Hg and Cd. Body size of red snapper showed a positive correlation only with
Cd concentration.

... Concerning Cd, there is evidence that this metal is less oriented towards accumulation
in sh muscle tissue, where the concentrations are usually very low, preferring internal
organs such as the liver and kidneys [32][33][34]. In the case in question, sword sh having
a mixed diet consisting of sh but mainly of cephalopods [35], impregnated in Cd, showed
relatively high concentrations consistent with those reported in specimens from different
Mediterranean geographical locations (0.10-0.16 µg g −1 wet weight [1]) and the Indian
(0.13 µg g −1 wet weight [36] ) and Atlantic Ocean (0.14 µg g −1 wet weight [5]). Also for
Pb, the contamination image was essentially similar to that encountered in sword sh
specimens from Mediterranean waters around Corsica Island (0.08 µg g −1 wet weight
[6]) and from the Ionian Sea along Italian coasts (0.05 µg g −1 wet weight [2]). ...
