  abstract = {{T}he mineral composition of target and non-target pelagic fish caught by purse-seiners and longliners in the western-central {I}ndian {O}cean was determined. {F}rom the 10 essential elements analysed, selenium and zinc showed the highest concentrations in swordfish and blue marlin while {I}ndian mackerel appeared as a good source of copper, iron and chrome. {A}ll catch had levels of lead and cadmium, two toxic elements, below the maximum sanitary limits. {A}lthough some concerns were raised regarding mercury concentrations in the largest species (wahoo, swordfish and blue marlin), molar ratios of mercury and selenium indicate that all oceanic pelagic fish from the western-central {I}ndian {O}cean are safe for human consumption. {T}his study also gives insights on the relationships between the levels of essential and toxic elements in fish muscle and the size, trophic position and diet sources of the studied pelagic species.},
