The relationship between sex, size (length and weight) and metal concentrations in the tissues of two commercially valuable fish species (silver pomfret, Pampus argenteus and tiger tooth croaker, Otolithes ruber) from Persian Gulf were evaluated. Concentrations of the metals in fish species ranged as follows: Mn 0.743-11.279; Cd 0.175-2.375; Pb 2.406-11.297; Zn 10.837-80.389; Fe 2.263-86.110; Cu 1.503-6.333 μg/g dry weight, respectively. Metal content in both fish varied with type of metals, organ, and sex. Results showed that, except in a few cases, significant relationships between metal concentrations and fish size were negative.
本研究评估了波斯湾两种有商业价值的鱼类（银鲳，Pampus argenteus 和老虎牙鲷，Otolithes ruber）的性别、大小（长度和重量）与组织中金属浓度之间的关系。鱼类中金属浓度的范围如下：Mn 0.743-11.279；Cd 0.175-2.375；Pb 2.406-11.297；Zn 10.837-80.389；Fe 2.263-86.110；Cu 1.503-6.333μg/g 干重。两种鱼的金属含量因金属种类、器官和性别而异。结果表明，除了少数情况外，金属浓度与鱼体大小之间的关系呈负相关。
