Abstract

The concentrations of trace metals in the fish species were determined using flame and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry after microwave digestion. The proposed method showed satisfactory recovery rates, detection limits and standard deviations. The average metal concentrations of the five species varied in the following ranges: Fe 90.16-102.51; Cu 1.34-1.72; Mn 1.29-9.21; Zn 25.76-112.71; Pb 0.53-1.73; Cd 0.98-2.25; Cr 1.43-1.92 and Ni 2.90-9.36 μg g-1, respectively.
