Abstract Trace element bioaccumulation in marine organisms is a rising international issue due to possible health concerns for humans. Thirteen trace elements were analyzed the sediment, water, and muscular tissue of Red Sea fish. Additionally, average daily intake (EDI), cancer risk (CR), hazard index (HI), target quotient (THQ) those have been taken into consideration when evaluating any related their consumption. All species presented quantifiable values muscle all (arsenic (As), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), boron (B), iron (Fe), barium (Ba), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), mercury (Hg), except Cd Hg, being Fe Zn most accumulated species. Conversely, water samples, undeleted aluminum, boron, iron, zinc. fish, however, had concentrations Zn, Ni, Fe, Cu, Mn below upper limit allowed, although higher levels As, Cr, Pb (0.48 ± 0.83–5.10 0.79, 1.97 0.46–5.25 0.67 2.12 1.01–6.83 0.93 µg/g, respectively). The studied fish showed contamination degrees (CD) Mn, ≤ 1, indicating minimal contamination, with As Cr showing degrees. However, pollution (MPI-elements) can be represented according ascending order: Lethrinus ramak < Cephalopholis hemistiktos Pagellus affinis Trachurus japonicus Cheilinus lunulatus Siganus luridus Parupeneus forsskali Caesio suevica . study found that edible tissues are safe human consumption, HI children adults less than ten, negligible non-cancer hazards. consumption presents risks chromium, lead, arsenic, THQ several times greater CR-Ni, CR-Cr, CR-As exceeding acceptable 10 −4 value This provides critical insights species, highlighting need ongoing monitoring proactive measures ensure Aqaba Gulf.
