dc.description.abstractMany chemicals especially heavy metals that are exist in fish are essential for human life at low amounts, but can be toxicat high amounts. Other chemicals such as Hg, As, Cd and Pb have not any essential function in biota and are toxic even at very low amountswhen ingested for a long period. The aim of this review is to compare and evaluate heavy metal levels in commercial fish species from theArabian Sea and coastline in other seas. In this review, Mackerels, Tunas and Bonitos species, the most commercial of Scombridae family, werechosen. The state of the metal pollution levels of these fishes is revealed under the light of the literature. The chemicals, some of which are themost important heavy metals such as Zn, Fe, Cu, Pb, Cd, Hg, As, Cr and Mn were chosen and their amounts in commercial fish were evaluated.Most of studies showed that essential metals in fish species are much high, but the quantities of non-essential metals in edible tissues offish are found to be less. This review has shown that fish are used as bio-monitoring in heavy metal pollution. It is suggested that suchinvestigations should be continuous in terms of both human health and determination of metal pollution of our coasts.
