Due to the importance of Caspian kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) in the nutrition and health of consumers, a study was conducted to evaluate the concentration of mercury and its associated health risk for this species, its predators, and the people. Samples were collected from the fish at the four best-selling stations, Bandar Torkaman, Bander Anzali, Fereydunkenar, and Chalos, with mean mercury concentrations in the samples from the stations being 49.4, 132.6, 103.6, and 107.6 μg/g respectively. Mercury in the muscle tissue of the collected samples increased from east to west in the southern Caspian Basin. The mercury concentrations at all stations were below the permissible international levels for this heavy metal, suggesting no or low potential health risk. However, due to the toxicity and other harmful properties of mercury, it is necessary to monitor the values of this element as well as other pollutants in fish species to assess the health risk.

通过食用伊朗北部海岸最受欢迎和首选的鱼类 Rutilus frisii kutum 来评估汞对健康的潜在风险。

由于里海 kutum (Rutilus frisii kutum) 在消费者的营养和健康中的重要性，进行了一项研究，以评估汞的浓度及其对该物种、其捕食者和人类的相关健康风险。在四个最畅销的站点（Bandar Torkaman、Bander Anzali、Fereydunkenar 和 Chalos）采集了鱼类样品，站点样本的平均汞浓度分别为 49.4、132.6、103.6 和 107.6 μg/g。采集的样本肌肉组织中的汞在里海盆地南部自东向西增加。所有站点的汞浓度都低于这种重金属的国际允许水平，表明没有或潜在的健康风险很低。然而，由于汞的毒性和其他有害特性，
