Mushrifah I., . and Ismail A., . and Ahmad A., . and Badri M.A., . Water quality of some rivers and levels of selected heavy metals in freshwater fishes of Taman Negara Peninsular Malaysia. pp. 397-408. ISSN 0025-1291
Abstract
The physical and chemical water quality of four rivers in Taman Negara namely Sg. Terenggan Sg. Keniyam Sg. Sat and Sg. Tahan are within limits of the recommended Malaysian water criteria for domestic supply. Ten fish species were caught and analysed for heavy metals. Lead zinc copper manganase iron and cadmium content were determined in the gills stomach muscle tissues bones and tails using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric methods. Levels of lead zinc copper and iron were high in the tail region. Heavy metal content in fish muscle tissues varied between fish species. The heavy metal contents (g/g wet weight) were generally within these ranges: Pb (0.03-0.70) Zn (6.2-18.9) Cu (0.4-0.5) Mn (0.2-2.3) Fe (0.9-13.1) Cd (0.1-0.2)
