  abstract = {{T}race elements were analyzed in fish of commercial interest to determine their importance in marine systems of the {W}estern {I}ndian {O}cean and their bioaccumulation patterns. {T}he results are equivalent or lower than levels reported in ichthyofauna worldwide. {C}ertain values of muscular {C}d, {H}g, {P}b and {Z}n were, however, above thresholds for human consumption. {L}evels varied among tissues, species and fish length, but were seldom influenced by the nutritional condition of the fish, its gender and its reproductive status. {C}orrelations between hepatic {H}g and {S}e levels in {S}wordfish (r(2) = 0.747) and {Y}ellowfin {T}unas (r(2) = 0.226), and among metallothionein linking metals imply the existence of detoxification processes in these species. {L}evel differences between fish from the {M}ozambique {C}hannel and {R}eunion {I}sland reflect differences of diets rather than differences of elemental availability in both environments.},
