dc.description.abstractIn this study the amounts of mercury (Hg) were determined in tentacles and muscle ‎tissues of O. ehrenbergii and S. buccalis from two coastal sites of Karachi; Buleji and ‎Sunehri during Southwest monsoon (August and September) and Northeast monsoon ‎‎(December and January) seasons of the year 2018. The mean amounts of Hg in edible ‎tissues of sea cucumbers were as follows: O. ehrenbergii (0.0176 mg/kg dry wt.) and S. ‎buccalis (0.0155 mg/kg dry wt.). Hg amounts in muscles of both species are much lower ‎than the maximum permissible limits (0.5 mg/kg wet wt.). Estimated Daily Intakes for ‎adults consuming O. ehrenbergii and S. buccalis are lower than published RfD values. ‎Total Target Hazard Quotient (TTHQ) values (0.00787) are also lower than 1, it may be ‎concluded that the consumption of these sea cucumbers from Karachi, do not pose any ‎health hazards to human as Hg amounts were concerned.‎
