According to the results, liver and gill tissues had more metal levels than those in muscle tissues of garfish. Hg and Cd in the all tissues of garfish were below the detection limits. Hg was not detected in the edible part of all shrimp and prawns species. In general the metal levels in the caridean shrimp species and the edible tissues of garfish were below the Turkish Food Codex, Commission Regulation (EC) and MAFF allowable limits for human consumption. Results of estimated daily and weekly intakes showed that these metals did not pose any risk of public health.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessgarfishCrangon crangonPalaemon adspersusPaleomon serratusBlack Seametal levelsArticle192558563Q3WOS:000438838100013N/A
