Pb concentration in muscle of fish was the highest in H. sagor (0.037±0.037mg/kg) and in gill of J. trachycephalus with value of 0.213±0.273mg/kg respectively. Meanwhile Zn level among all fishes were in order of: H.sagor> J.trachycephalus> L.calcarifer> M.cyprinoides. The mean concentration of Zn in muscle and gill of H.sagor was the highest (2.400±1.677 and 31.572±4.562mg/kg) compared to other species respectively. However, the concentration of Pb and Zn in all fish samples were below permissible limit according to Malaysia Food Act (MFA, 1983), US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA, 1993), European Commission (EC, 2001), Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO, 2012) and were estimated safe for human consumption. 01 01 44-48
