Metal content in shrimp muscle Penaeus vannamei, during a cultivation cycle in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, México.
Keywords:
aquaculture, shrimp farming, heavy metals, essential metals, edible tissueAbstract
This study was carried out with the objective of evaluating the concentrations of metals (cadmium, cobalt, copper, chromium, iron, manganese, nickel and zinc) present in the abdomen (muscle or edible tissue) of specimens of the white shrimp Penaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931), collected during a culture cycle (four months) on a shrimp farm in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico. Weekly, samples of shrimp into batches of 30 to 40 organisms were obtained, separated by size in intervals of one centimeter (from 5-6 to 15-16 cm). Once processed in the laboratory, the concentration of metals was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. In the results, it was observed that the essential elements were found in higher concentration than cadmium (non-essential). Regarding the health risk, Zn is the metal that would limit its consumption, although around 1 kg/day would have to be consumed to represent a risk; therefore, it is concluded that the consumption of L. vannamei shrimps grown on that farm does not imply a risk (due to ingestion of these metals) to human health.
