Abstract

This study was carried out to determinate the acceptable intake without harmful effects due to vanadium in muscle tissue of Strongylura strongylura (Chingo) as the most consumed fish from Bahragan  of Persian Gulf and to compare it with global health standards and it`s effects on human. In this research, in winter 1389, 18 samples of Chingo fish in 3 longitudinal group (small, medium and large) from Bahragan area, fishing platform Bahragansar was randomly hunted.  Prior measuring of vanadium concentrations in muscle tissue by Atomic absorbtion (Model: 220z, varian-Austrailia) was measured. According to results, the mean concentration of Vanadium in muscle tissue was 2.5091± 1.14201 µg/g w.d. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) intake of Strongylura strongylura (carnivorous species) due to high accumulation of Vanadium, it`s consume is highly limited specially in long length groups. Considering permissible limit of Vanadium determined by World Health Organization (WHO), for an adult person weighted 60 kg, the maximum permissible consumption limit of Strongylura strongylura in big longitudinal group is tantamount to 6.354g.
