This study aimed to determine the total mercury (T-Hg) concentration in the common Carp muscles (Cyprinus carpio) fish species and surface water where they are collected.
The fish and water samples were collected from Azadegan Aquaculture complex in Khuzestan, Iran during November of 2011 and the concentration of T-Hg was determined by Direct Mercury Analyzer-80.
The mean T-Hg concentration in Cyprinus carpio was 0.520.25 ?g T-Hg/kg for wet weight fish tissue. Average T-Hg concentrations for water sample from tree point of the pond were 2.10 0.001 ?g/kg, 2.120.003 ?g/kg and 2.110.08 ?g/kg correspondingly.
