Abstract

For the present study, two marine fish species Ariomma indica and Dasyatus bleekeri were collected from Visakhapatnam and Kakinada harbours, Pudimadaka, and Bheemili that lie along the Andhra Pradesh coast. The concentrations of As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, and Zn in the muscle tissues were determined by using EDXRF. The Estimated daily intake of those metals was evaluated and found to be higher than the reference dose levels. The calculated values of Target hazard quotient and Hazard index of those metals indicate no potential risk. Target cancer risk due to accumulation of As and Cd was determined and found to be in the acceptable range. However, the intake of heavy metals is influenced by the dietary habits of consumers and long-term exposure may show negative impact on their health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
