Potential human health risks associated with ingestion of heavy metals through fish consumption in the Gulf of Guinea [PDF]
Heavy metal pollution of the marine environment has toxic implications for both the aquatic biota and human health. We examined the levels of Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), Copper (Cu), Cadmium (Cd), Arsenic (As) and Mercury (Hg) in muscles of Sardinella ...

Evaluation of the Nutritional Quality of the Five Commercial Fish Species From the Persian Gulf From Human Health Perspective. [PDF]
Based on the findings of this study, the best protein quality related to N. japonicus with an EAA index of 75.92. P. indicus has the best lipid quality due to the high ratio of ω‐3/ω‐6 (1.68) and PI (7.02). The abundant trace elements in all five fish species, K, Ca, Fe, and Zn, as well as these fish species, have good nutritional quality based on Na/K

Re-evaluation of certain aspects of the EFSA Scientific Opinion of April 2010 on risk assessment of parasites in fishery products, based on new scientific data. Part 2. [PDF]
Abstract The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish.

This study examined some aspects of population dynamics of 1776 specimen of S. maderensis (Lowe, 1988) from Liberian coastal waters, from April 2013 to September 2013 (total of six months) using the FiSAT II for analysis. From the results, the growth was assumed to follow the von Bertalanffy growth function with asymptotic length (L∞) and the growth ...
