Özet

Total (36) samples of Sardinella melanura fish were collected from Balochistan coast during Pre-monsoon, Mon-soon, and Post-monsson (from January 2006 to December 2006). The highest Fe (456), Mn (5.95), Cd (1.24), Pb (1.49), Cr (1.38) were found in liver of fish in µg/g. Although muscles showed the lowest metal levels, livers showed the higher metal levels in all season of the year.
