Recent surveys of lead in seafood: Fish fillets, prawns and canned tuna were examined for lead in the 1992 Australian Market Basket Survey. Concentrations of lead ranging ‘not detected’ to 0.2 mg/kg; were reported for fish fillets, ‘not detected’ to ‘trace’ level for prawns and ‘not detected’ to 0.1 mg/kg for canned tuna Stenhouse 1994).
Smoked fish fillets, oysters, canned red salmon and seafood sticks were examined for lead in the 1994 Australian Market Basket Survey. Concentrations of lead ranged from ‘not detected’ to ‘trace’ level for smoked fish fillets, canned red salmon, and seafood sticks; and ‘trace’ level to 0.61 mg/kg for oysters (Marro 1996).
Canned tuna, calamari rings, battered flake fillets and estuarine fish were examined for lead in the 1996 Australian Market Basket Survey. Concentrations of lead ranged from ‘trace’ level to 0.018 mg/kg in canned tuna; ‘trace’ level to of 0.89 mg/kg for calamari rings; ‘not detected’ to 0.082 mg/kg for battered flake fillets; and ‘ not detected’ to a ‘trace’ level for estuarine fish (Hardy 1998).
Canned crab, fish fillets, mussels and canned red salmon were analysed for lead in the 19th Australian Total Diet Survey (FSANZ 2001). Levels detected (minimum, maximum, median; units mg/kg) were: canned crab (0.02, 0.04, 0.03); fish fillets (not detected, 0.007, not detected); mussels (0.05, 1.10, 0.11); and canned red salmon (not detected, 0.006, 0.005).
Prawns, fish fillets and portions, and canned tuna were analysed for lead in the 20th Australian Total Diet Survey (FSANZ 2003). Levels detected (minimum, maximum, median; units mg/kg) were: prawns (not detected, 0.05, not detected); and fish fillets (not detected, 0.02, not detected). There were no levels above the limit of reporting (0.01 mg/kg) for samples of fish portions and canned tuna.
