| Abstract |
We analyze the heavy metals concentrations in muscle samples of milk shark (Rhizoprionodon acutus) from Persian Gulf. The metals distribution was Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Hg. No statistical differences were observed among size or weight by sex (p < 0.05). Metals concentrations in the population de R. acutus from Larak and Lavan islands are homogeneous along the coastal study area. Our study suggest that the results reflect the natural contents of trace metals in this species, and the health risk associated to milk shark consumption in Persian Gulf is relatively low. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 January 2017.
All research outputs
#6,063,936
of 23,911,072 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Science and Pollution Research
#1,119
of 9,883 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,520
of 427,326 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Science and Pollution Research
#21
of 114 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,911,072 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 74th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 9,883 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 427,326 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 114 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
