Abstract in English
Through this study, the estimation of the accumulative concentration of
cadmium Cd and lead Pb in some organs of Barbus grypus fish hunt in Tigris –
Al-Rashidiyya district – Mosul, has been done. Also, the estimation has been
done in the tissues of Khawia armeniaca cestode by using Atomic absorption
CHOmeter where an abstracted difference (0.05) in the accumulative
concentration of cadmium and lead in the liver, Kidney, gills, muscles and
intestines of infected and uninfected fish. The accumulative concentration of
cadmium and lead in the tissues of parasites (300, 81.08) Mg/g respectively.
