Abstract:

The distribution of some heavy metals in three fish species of north Red sea near Haggel coast was studied in samples collected throughout the year of (2008). The relative accumulation of total heavy metals in studied fish showed the following pattern Chaetodon trifascialis > Pomacanthus imperator > Pygoplites diacanthus. Pb and Zn concentration are below limits of detection in all organs as in cadmium in muscle. Generally, most of our results are within the reported literature range for various marine system, indicating that metal levels are not elevated.
