Accumulation of metals, Ni and V in the muscle in eight species of fishes from Bahrekan of Hendijan port (Persian Gulf)

This study was carried out to determine and comparison of concentration metals nickel and vanadium in muscle of eight species of fish, Epinephelus coioides, Platycephalus indicus, Cynoglossus arel, Acanthopagrus latus, pampus argenteus, Tenualosa ilisha, Liza macrolepis and Liza klunzingeri from Khuzestan province in 2013. 120 samples of fish collected from Bahrekan in Khuzestan province. Chemical digest samples of fish by wet method and nickel and vanadium measured by Perkin Elmer 4100 atomic absorption spectrometry. Data were analyzed statistically using one-way ANOVA and Duncan test. In this study concentrations of nickel and vanadium in species of fish were significantly different (P
