| Summary: | The research study is to investigate the presence of heavy metals concentration in
cage silver catfish and the study involved in analysis of heavy metals in fish, fish
feed and water, thus the Concentration Factor that effect on the accumulating
metals in the silver catfish from Sungai Pahang and Sungai Tembeling. The
Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) used to determine heavy metals
concentration in fish. Unfiltered water samples collected from the study areas and
analysed on Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS). Fish
samples prior to measurement were dried, grind and kept in desiccator. Arsenic is
the highest metal concentration from Sungai Pahang River followed by copper,
manganese, cadmium and nickel. While from Sungai Tembeling, manganese
showed highest concentration followed by copper, arsenic, cadmium and nickel.
The Concentration Factor from water mostly showed highest value for all metals
compared Concentration Factor from the fish feed. Hence, the accumulation
metals in fish from both locations are mostly from the river water |
