The results were expressed as lg/g of wet weight (w/w).
The levels of Cd, Pb and Hg in muscles of fish were 0.009–0.036, 0.013–0.114 and 0.049–0.194 lg/g, respectively.
The present study showed that different metals were present in the sample at
different levels but within the maximum residual levels prescribed by the EU for the fish and shellfish
