(Occupational Safety and Health Administration, 2004). The lowest
and highest arsenic content in fish species were found as
0.077 mg kg1 in P. pangasius and 1.486 mg kg1 in O. mossambicus.
The estimated daily intake (EDI) of arsenic through fish consumption
was found as 0.026 mg d1. In the literature arsenic levels in
fish samples have been reported in the range of 1.01–15.2 lg g1
in fresh water fish species (Shah et al., 2009), 0.2–3.29 lg g1 in
fishes (Begum et al., 2012),
