dc.description.abstractHe avy metal d i sp o s ed th rough anthropogenic activities finds their way into the oceans and seas through the rivers or through direct fallout from factory effluents. These heavy metals re-suspend back into water column along with the sediments and are known to affect the marine animals. The objective of this study was to determine chromium, nickel, c a dmium and zinc concentration levels in edible marine fishes collected from the coastal area of Tuticorin, India. Measurement of heavy metal content of the selected fish was carried out by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The metal content, expressed in pg g"' wet weight for chromium, nickel, cadmium and zinc varied from 4.706-9.020, 3.307-16.760, 9.053- 9.480 and 9.878-12.126 respectively. The values were comparable and in the range of the literature values. The results of this study indicate that the selected fish have concentrations well below the standards of FAO/WHO levels of these toxic metals except chromium.en_US
