Abstract

   

The concentration of heavy metals (cadmium, cobalt , copper , iron , nickel and manganese was measured in the muscles of the Carasobarbus luteus using a flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The average length of fish samples was (198.7) mm, and the average weight of fish samples was (105.31) gm. The results showed the highest average of concentration metals (cadmium, cobalt, copper, and iron) were (19.59, 25.05, 17.52, and 72.37) µg/g (dry weight), respectively, in the Eastern Al-Hammar marsh, whereas the highest average of concentration metals (nickel, and manganese) were (59.24, and 11.08) µg/g (dry weight), respectively, in the Al-Hawizeh marsh during the study period.
