poly unsaturated fatty acids. Fish
is also a primary protein source
in most parts of the world.

health benefits, seafood can
be compromised by different
chemical contaminants which
areharmful to consumers.
Among the environmental
chemical contaminants, heavy
metals are reported as the most
commonly occurring one in
seafood mainly lead, cadmium,
