Fish Tilapia nilotica, Mormyrops anguilloides and Schilbe mystus, captured at port Socopla-Lomata on the Congo River in Mbandaka were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, brand Xepos III in accordance with the laboratory’s operating mode; to assess lead, cadmium and mercury contamination. The results showed concentrations higher than the edibility standards of the European Union and the concentrations observed in the water of the fishing site. The species Mormyrops anguilloides accumulates more cadmium while lead and mercury are more accumulated in Tilapia nilotica.

Abstract: (french)
Les poissons Tilapia nilotica, Mormyrops anguilloides et Schilbe mystus, capturés au port de Socopla-Lomata sur le fleuve Congo à Mbandaka ont été analysés par spectromètre de fluorescence X, marque Xepos III conformément au mode opératoire du laboratoire; pour évaluer la contamination en plomb, cadmium et mercure. Les résultats ont montré des concentrations supérieures à la norme de comestibilité de l’union européenne et aux concentrations observées dans les eaux du site de pêche. L’espèce Mormyrops anguilloides accumule plus le cadmium alors que le plomb et mercure sont plus accumulés par Tilapia nilotica.
Author Keywords: contamination, Socopla-Lomata, métaux toxiques.
