Assessment of Heavy Metal Concentrations in the Muscles of Ten Commercially Important Fish Species from Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria

The concentration of heavy metals in fish is influenced by several factors, in particular, the biological differences (e.g. species, size, age, gender, sexual maturity, diet) and the environmental ones (e.g. water chemistry, salinity, temperature, and levels of contamination) (Carvalho et al. in Anal Bioanal Chem 382:426–432, 2005).
