  • Title: [Heavy metal concentrations in various species fished from the Gulf of Catania].
    Author: Castagna A, Sarro F, Sinatra F, Capodicasa V, Scalia M.
    Journal: Boll Soc Ital Biol Sper; 1981 Mar 30; 57(6):621-7. PubMed ID: 7272031.
    Abstract:
    The AA report the concentrations of Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb and Hg found in fish, crustaceans and mollusca fished in a zone of the coast to the south of the city of Catania. The results obtained show that among the fish the species with the highest concentrations of all the metals investigated, but excluding mercury, is Boops boops (bogue) followed by Trachurus mediterraneus (horse mackerel), whereas the species showing least concentrations is Pagellus erythrinus (pandora). In many cases the concentrations of individual metals in our findings are higher than those given in the literature for the same species fished in other waters.
