The risk assessment of Lead, Cadmium and Zinc in the two edible fishe species (Carcharhinus limbatus) and (Epinephelus coioides) of Persian Gulf in 2016 [PDF]
Background and aim:With the development of coastal industries and cities, aquatic ecosystems and organisms are exposed to contaminants, especially heavy metals. Heavy metals accumulate in aquatic tissues and eventually enter the food chain and human body.

Diet of the Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
The stomach contents of 90 Blacktip Shark (Carcharhinus limbatus) specimens caught in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) were examined. Stomach contents were identified to the lowest possible taxon, and quantified using percent weight, percent number, percent frequency of occurrence, and percent index of relative importance (IRI).
