Abstract

The level of arsenic was determined in pulps and steak of the following freshwater fish species: Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicusi, Matrinxã (Brycon lundii, Carp (Cyprinius carpio], Tilápia tOreochromis niloticusi, Curimbatá tProchilodus sp), Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomumi, Bagre Africano (Clarias sp). The samples were obtained from the Center of Research and Training in Agriculture, Pirassununga, São Paulo. The determination of the arsenic element was perforrned by hydride generator-inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), after mineralizing by drying with magnesium nitrate of the samples. The quantity obtained of arsenic in ug kg' from the fishes for steak and pulps respectively were: Pacu (49 e 8), Matrinxã (27 e 24), Carp (66 e 209), Tilápia (37 e 277), Curimbatá (30 e 93), Tambaqui (42 e 24) e Baqre (43). Arsenic levels below the recommended Brazilian legislation were found in ali samples.
