This study was to determine arsenic, cadmium and lead of five freshwater fish species collected from the paddy field ponds m 5 provinces of the Northeastern region, Thailand between July and December 2012 The average concentrations (on a wet weight basis) were ranges from 022 +/- 015 mu g g(-1) in muscle of common silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus) to 078 +/- 025 mu g g(-1) in liver of striped snakehead (Channa striata) for arsenic, 002 +/- 001 mu g g(-1) for muscle climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) and 010 +/- 002 mu g g(-1) in kidney of striped snakehead (Channa striata) for cadmium and 030 +/- 009 mu g g(-1) in muscle climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) and 072 +/- 022 mu g g(-1) in liver of striped snakehead (Channa striata) for lead Heavy metal levels found in freshwater fish samples in the present study were lower than the Thai regulatory standard
