摘要：This study aimed to assess the concentrations of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) in the tissues of fish species collected from Kampar tin mining lake, Perak Malaysia. A total of 9 individual fish were caught and comprise of 3 species. There were Oreochromis niloticus, Cichla ocellaris and Puntius gonionotus. The samples were analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP MS). The result showed the content of heavy metals in Cichla ocellaris and Puntius gonionotus which followed the order: Cd0.05 at 95% confidence level. Hence, there were no significant differentiate of heavy metal content among the fish samples. This study determined that the fish species caught in the mining lake were contaminated with low concentration of heavy metals (As, Cd, Cr and Pb). Although, the highest essential element - Zn concentrations were determined in the all fish tissues, it did not exceed the Malaysian Food Act (MFA) and WHO/FAO food standards.
