Concentrations of six metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Hg) were determined in Chirostoma sp. obtained from three different locations around Lake Chapala, Mexico, in July, 1996. Concentrations of all metals were below trace metal action levels, where available, with the exception of mercury. Mercury concentrations ranged from 0.217 to 8.149 μg/g dry weight, with highest concentrations in fish seined from the most turbid, eastern end of the Lake near the outflow. Samples of fried fish obtained from a fish market did not have elevated concentrations relative to other samples. High consumption of Chirostoma sp. may result in exposure to mercury that exceeds US and International guidelines. The results of this study suggest the need to evaluate mercury concentrations in all edible fish species from Lake Chapala in order to accurately assess health risks to consumers. |
