However, fish are relatively situated at the top of the
aquatic food chain; therefore, they normally can accumulate
heavy metals from food, water and sediments.
The content of toxic heavy metals in fish can counteract their beneficial
effects; several adverse effects of heavy metals to human
health have been known for long time
This may include
serious threats like renal failure, liver damage, cardiovascular
diseases and even death
Therefore, many international
monitoring programs have been established in order to assess
the quality of fish for human consumption and to monitor the
health of the aquatic ecosystem
