Abstract

Comparative study of Heavy metals accumulation (Cd, Pb, Hg, Cu) in liver, skin and muscle tissues and Fatty acids profile of Persian sturgeon was done in West and East Southern coasts of Caspian Sea. The results showed that the metals were in accptable ranges in fish muscle (P>0.05); but metals concentration in lever was more than skin and muscle (P<0.05). Amounts of Pb (2.05 & 2.21 µg/g) were higher than acceptable range in the fish liver from both SE and SW areas. In skin and liver, Hg (0.46 & 0.47 µg/g) was more than to muscle. Also heavy metals accumulation in fish caught from SW (Mazandaran province) were more than another. There was a different between muscle and other organs in the pattern of heavy metals accumulation. On the other hand, sum of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) in SW and SE Persian sturgeon were 85.54 and 77.48 g/100g, respectively (P<0.05). Moreover sum of Omega-3 had a level of 14.17 and 7.35 g/100g, respectively (P<0.05). Also there was a correlation between fish lipid and heavy metals concentration in different organs. These correlations were positive in liver, skin and muscle tissues; conversely, ther was no any relations between omega-3 fatty acids fillets and accumulation of heavy metals. The Pb in the measured metals was more than standard level in fish liver which caugth from SE area. According to the results edible muscle tissue of Persian sturgeon in the southern coasts of the Caspian Sea is healthy.
