Abstract
Concentrations of heavy metals (cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn)) were determined in the liver, kidney, and muscle of Helicophagus leptorhynchus found in the Mun River, the longest Mekong tributary in Thailand. Sampling was conducted in three sites, covering the area from up- to downstreams. The concentration of Zn in the fish tissues was significantly higher than those of other heavy metals. Variation in concentrations of heavy metals was observed, and they varied according to space and time. The patterns of metal allocation in the studied organs were (a) liver: Zn > Cu > Cr > Cd > Mn > Pb, (b) kidney: Zn > Cr > Cd > Cu > Mn > Pb and (c) muscle: Zn > Cr > Mn> Cu > Cd >Pb.
