Abstract

In this study done in second half of 2010, after analyzing stations in Babolsar, Fereydoonkenar, Mahmoudabad, Rostamrood in nour, Park Jangali Sisangan and Noshahr in south central area in the coastal waters of the Caspian sea province useful essential trace elements like calcium, magnesium and vanadium, in the edible muscle tissue of 36 samples of fish species in the north country economy and high consumption of Rutilus frisii Kutum and Carp (Cyprinus carpio) after sampling preparation and acid digestion method with the standard spectrum gauge was measured with flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. Mean concentration of calcium, magnesium and vanadium in the edible muscle tissue of Rutilus frisii Kutum, respectively, 14.08±0.10, 5.27±0.08 and 0.04±0.00 (μg g-1) dry weight samples were obtained. Also, the mean average concentration of calcium, magnesium and vanadium in muscle, edible Carp (Cyprinus carpio), respectively, 13.25±0.39, 7.98±0.23 and 0.10±0.07 (μg g-1) dry weight measured. Statistical evaluation of mean values for these elements in the edible muscle tissue of Rutilus frisii Kutum and Carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the 95% confidence level showed that the average of all stations in the amount of calcium, magnesium and vanadium in the edible muscle in Rutilus frisii Kutum is significantly different from their average levels in the edible muscle in Carp (Cyprinus carpio) (P<0.05).
