- Abstract
- This research was carried out to compute the total mercury and selenium determined in tow commercial fish from Persian Gulf and Selenium Health Benefit Value (SEHBV) of each species. The average ±SD concentration of Hg and Se in edible part of Pesttodes Erumei were 0.077±0.062 and 0.044±0.018 μg/gww, respectively and their values in liver correspondingly were 0.127±0.122 and 0.132±0.061 μg/gww. The average concentration of Hg and Se in edible and liver part of Otolithes Ruber were 0.348±0.27, 0.060±0.021, 0.176±0.174 and 0.093±0.022 μg/gww, respectively. Selenium Health Benefit Value (SEHBV) was positive (1.0) in Pesttodes erumei and negative (-6.2) in Otolithes Ruber. It reveals the fact that Selenium Health Benefit is negligible in both species to reduce mercury bioavailability.
