Abstract

Abstract 212 marine fishery resources were recorded in the waters of Andhra Pradesh State. Morphometric data was provided for 20 edible fishery resources landing at the fishing harbour of Visakhapatnam. The harbour area is polluted due to influx of various industrial effluents and domestic sewage. In Pampus argenteus, P. chinensis and Parastromateus niger, the total protein content is 16.24-19.58%. Further, arsenic concentration in muscle and gill portions individually or combined in all three of the species is highly negligible. Cadmium, mercury, and lead levels in the muscle and gills of these species are within or slightly above the recommended limits set by EU (2006) and FAO (2003), FAO/WHO (2011), MAFF, and FSSAI (2011) indicating that the consumption of these fishes is not harmful.
