In this study the possible health effects of consumption of benthopelagic (Johnius Belangerii (C); JB) and demersal (Cynoglossus Arel; CA) fishes were evaluated. These fish species living in the Musa estuary (the biggest estuary in the south of Iran and in the northern coastline of Persian Gulf) are likely to be polluted with Hg, V, Ni and Tl. The food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to estimate fish intakes in the residents of Mahshahr city. Also, heavy metal concentrations were determined in fishes and compared with the maximum permissible levels (MPLs). The bioaccumulation factor (BAF) showed high bioaccumulation ability for Hg and Tl in both fish spices. The ratio of TDI/EDI showed the importance of the health hazard by both fish consumption. Also, Hg and Tl in fishes had a higher calculated target hazard quotient (THQ) than the limits. Regarding with the high possibility of serious health concerns associated with Hg and Tl contamination in the Musa estuary, it is suggested to do appropriate and urgent actions by the governors.

在这项研究中，评估了食用角鲨鱼（Johnius Belangerii（C）； JB）和海底鱼类（Cynoglossus Arel； CA）对健康的可能影响。这些生活在穆萨河口（伊朗南部和波斯湾北部海岸线最大的河口）中的鱼类很可能被汞，钒，镍和T污染。食物频率调查表（FFQ）用于估算Mahshahr市居民的鱼类摄入量。此外，确定了鱼类中的重金属浓度，并将其与最大允许水平（MPL）进行了比较。生物富集因子（BAF）在两种鱼香料中均显示出高的Hg和Tl生物富集能力。TDI / EDI的比例显示了两种鱼类消费对健康危害的重要性。另外，鱼类中的Hg和Tl的计算目标危害商（THQ）高于限值。
