ANGUE, MARVIN MENDOZA. "A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION FOR LEAD (Pb) TRACES IN MILKFISH (Chanos chanos) RAISED IN CAGES IN ZONE 3, BRGY. 28, BACOOR BAY, CAVITE CITY". Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 2003. Adviser: Louella Maria A. Custodio, DV M. Traces of Lead (Pb) in milkfish raised in cages in Bacoor Bay, Cavite City was examined using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer Test (ASST). The study was conducted et the Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry (PIPAC), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) from October 29 to November 13, 2002 using the Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (ASS), with three (3) randomly-chosen milkfish samples from three (3) fish cages as scopes of the study. The sample weights ranged from 0.5 to 1 kilogram. Tissues were taken from the belly and tail of the fish samples. All milkfish samples were found negative of lead a trace which is found suitable for human consumption. Testing of water samples and evaluation of the environmental conditions of the study site were also done and then correlated to the negative results of lead traces in the milkfish samples. The water sample collected from the study site was found to have low levels of lead. The residents of the study site was also found to have proper waste management practices that contributed to the low and non-detected level of lead traces in water and milkfish samples, respectively. Although traces of lead were detected from water samples, statistics indicated that these were insignificant to cause contamination in the milkfish.
