Chapter 1. Seafood is also rich in protein, contains low cholesterol and high percentage of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6), liposoluble vitamins and essential minerals. In the sense, utilization of marine resources for human consumption has increased rapidly in Korea. At the same time, levels of contaminants in fish are of considerable interest because of potential effects on the people that consume them. Contaminant levels, particularly heavy metals, are sufficiently high in some fish to cause adverse human health effects in people consuming large quantities. This study was conducted to obtain a basic data, such as concentrations of heavy metals and their provisional tolerable weekly (monthly) intakes 〔PTW(M)I〕 %, for establishing safety guidelines for fisheries products in Korea. Concentrations of total mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) were determined in 18 species (312 fishes) of mainly consumed fishes using a total mercury analyzer or inductively coupled plasma spectrophotometer (ICP) and its risk was assessed from PTW(MI) %. The mean recovery ratios of the heavy metals extracted from fish poisson and liver, which are certified-reference materials, CRM), 92.5-100.9% for total Hg, 80.1-93.6% for Pb, and 89.1-94.2% for Cd. These results are satisfied in the conditions on the recovery ratio of heavy metals set by Codex. The mean concentrations of heavy metals in mainly consumed fishes were 0.044±0.021 mg/kg for total Hg, 0.069±0.036 mg/kg for Pb and 0.033±0.033 mg/kg for Cd. These results showed that the mean concentration of heavy metal in mainly consumed fishes was high in Pb, total Hg and Cd in the order. The fish species, which is the highest in mean concentrations of heavy metals, among mainly consumed fishes and its concentration were Pacific cod and 0.090±0.068 mg/kg, respectively, for total mercury, Japanese anchovy and 0.142±0.044 mg/kg, respectively, for lead, and skipjack tuna and 0.144±0.105 mg/kg, respectively for Cd. The average weekly (monthly) intakes of total Hg, Pb and Cd through mainly consumed fishes based on the mean and P90th concentrations were 4.164 and 8.416%, respectively, for total Hg, 1.567 and 2.566%, respectively, for Pb, and 3.391 and 7.462%, respectively, for Cd. These results showed that the PTW(M)I % of the heavy metals through commonly consume fishes was the highest in total Hg, followed by Cd and Pb in the order. The PTW(M)I % of total Hg, Pb and Cd through commonly consume fishes based on the P90th concentration were 213%, 205% and 219% higher, respectively, than that based on the mean concentration. According to the results of concentration and risk assessment of heavy metal in mainly consumed fishes, the total Hg, Pb and Cd were found to be lower than permissible limits. The consumption of these species is not problem on human health. Chapter 2. This study was conducted to determine concentration of heavy metals, such as total mercury, lead and cadmium, in 18 commonly consumed fish species ( red stingray, brown sole, largehead hairtail, chub mackerel, Pacific saury, bastard halibut, skipjack tuna, Pacific cod, Japanese anchovy, Alaska pollack, brown croaker, conger eel, Japanese Spanish mackerel, blackmouth angler, Korean rockfish, filefish, small yellow croaker and Pacific herring) and to assess the risk from provisional tolerable weekly (monthly) intakes 〔PTW(M)I〕% as affected by purchased season. Based on the mean concentration, the maximum concentration-showed season of heavy metals through mainly consumed fishes, its concentration and the fish species were winter, 0.047±0.031 mg/kg and Pacific cod, respectively, for total mercury, summer, 0.083±0.077 mg/kg, and chub mackerel, respectively, for lead, and summer, 0.057±0.050 mg/kg, and filefish, respectively, for cadmium. Based on the mean concentration, the PTW(M)I % of heavy metals through mainly consumed fishes purchased by different seasons, winter, autumn and summer, were 3.650, 5.864 and 4.434%, respectively, for total mercury, 1.299, 2.352 and 2.258%, respectively, for lead, and 1.657, 3.056 and 5.997%, respectively, for cadmium. According to the results above, based on the mean concentration, the risk of heavy metal through mainly consumed fishes by purchased season was low in fishes purchased at autumn, summer and winter in the order, for that of total mercury and lead, and summer, autumn and winter in the order for that of cadmium. Chapter 3. This study was conducted to determine concentration of heavy metals, such as total mercury, lead and cadmium, in 18 species (red stingray, brown sole, largehead hairtail, chub mackerel, Pacific saury, bastard halibut, skipjack tuna, Pacific cod, Japanese anchovy, Alaska pollack, brown croaker, conger eel, Japanese Spanish mackerel, blackmouth angler, Korean rockfish, filefish, small yellow croaker and Pacific herring) of mainly consumed fishes and to assess the risk from provisional tolerable weekly (monthly) intakes 〔PTW(M)I〕% as affected by place-of-origin, such as domestic, imported and pelagic fishes. The mean concentration of heavy metals through commonly consumed domestic fishes, the maximum concentration-showed fish species and its concentration were 0.044±0.021 mg/kg, Pacific cod and 0.088±0.077 mg/kg respectively, for total mercury, 0.073±0.034 mg/kg, Japanese anchovy and 0.142±0.044 mg/kg respectively, for lead, and 0.027±0.021 mg/kg, Japanese anchovy and 0.072±0.070 mg/kg respectively, for cadmium. Based on the mean and P90th concentrations, the PTW(M)I % of heavy metals through commonly consumed domestic fishes were 3.500 and 8.563%, respectively, for total mercury, 2.490 and 2.823%, respectively, for lead, and 2.040 and 2.694%, respectively, for cadmium. Therefore, regardless of based on kinds of applied concentrations, such as mean and P90th, the PTW(M)I % of heavy metals through commonly consumed domestic fishes was high in total mercury, lead and cadmium in the order. The PTW(M)I % of total mercury, lead and cadmium through commonly consumed domestic fishes based on P90th concentration were 245%, 163% and 193% high compared to those based on mean concentration. Compared to concentrations of heavy metal through commonly consumed domestic fishes, those of lead (0.061±0.038 mg/kg) and cadmium (0.027±0.015 mg/kg) through commonly consumed imported fishes were higher, while that of total mercury (0.041±0.014 mg/kg) was lower. Based on the mean concentration, the PTW(M)I % of heavy metals through commonly consumed domestic and imported fishes were 1.732 and 1.848%, respectively, for total mercury, 0.584 and 0.395%, respectively, for lead, and 0.824 and 0.473%, respectively, for cadmium. Based on the PTW(M)I % of heavy metals through commonly consumed imported fishes, regardless of kinds of applied concentrations, such as mean and P90th concentrations, the PTW(M)I % of total mercury through commonly consumed domestic fishes was high, while those of lead and cadmium were low.
