THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN BIOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS OF BARBUS GRYPUS WITH HEAVY METALS LEVELS IN TISSUES (MUSCLE AND GILL) FROM ARVAND RIVER, IRAN

Heavy metals concentration (Cd, Pb, Cu, Ni) in muscle and gill tissue of the fish Barbus grypus was assessed in winter 2007.In total, 60 fish samples were taken from Arvand River and experiments were carried out on two fish tissues (muscle and gill) separated after biometrical measurements.Extraction of the heavy metals was performed using concentr
