Abstract
Cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometric determination of mercury in six fish species from Shatt Al-Arab river, provide values that are lower than the most literature data. We found significant species differences, with Cyprins Carpio having the highest levels (0.160 ± 0.045 µg/gm) and Barbus sharpeyi the lowest levels (0.053 ± 0.026 µg/gm). Statistically significant differences of total mercury concentration were also found among the individually tested tissues(muscle , kidney, liver, skin and gills), since the muscle of the tested fish accumulate the highest amount of mercury (0.067- 0.160 µg/gm). The data illustrates that Shatt Al-Arab river is still a non mercury– polluted area at the time of analysis
