Abstract

In this study zinc and copper levels in muscle of Tiger tooth fish from Posm, Chabahar and Ramin, at Oman Sea were detected. The results showed that the zinc and copper levels varied from 3.5-6 and 1.15-4.06 mg. kg1 dw, respectively. The Zn and Cu concentrations in the fish muscles were lower than the permissible limits suggested by international agencies such as Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Health Organization (WHO) and Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA).
