Concentration of copper (Cu) in tinfoil barb fish (Barbonymus schwanenfeldii) of Kuantan River and Pinang River, Pahang, Malaysia
The study was conducted to determine of copper (Cu) in muscle tissue of Tinfoil Barn Fish (Barbonymus
schwanenfeldii) and surface water at Kuantan River and Pinang River, Pahang. The study also determine the water
quality parameters and water quality index (WQI). The fish was caught by using gill net and the were digest using acid
digestion method and analysed by Inductive Coupled Plasma Micro Spectrometer (ICP-MS). The mean concentration
of Cu in fish muscle was 0.5070 ± 0.01748 mg/kg for Kuantan River and 0.4732 ± 0.01807mg/kg for Pinang River
which below the permissible limit set by Malaysia Food Act (MFA) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Cu
concentration were 0.0052 ± 0.0004390 mg/kg in Kuantan River and 0.0017 ± 0.00006669 mg/kg in Pinang River. The
level of Cu in both rivers were not harmful to the fish as the concentrations are below the permissible limit set by US
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and National Water Quality Standard (NWQS). There was no significant
difference (p < 0.05) in the concentration of muscle tissue for Cu between rivers. In contrast, there showed a
significant difference (p < 0.05) in the concentration of Cu in water between rivers. Kuantan River and Pinang River
have been classified in Class II according to the Department of Environment (DOE) that the water must require
conventional treatment for water supply purpose

impacts and and how with attitude knowledge of environment respond to the environmental
issues. Implementation of New Ecological Paradigm (NEP) Scale is assumes as a significant
tool to measure environmental attitude with 5-point Likert scale comprised of 15 items or
statements about the relationship between humans and the environment. This study proposes
identification of environmental awareness level towards Setiu Wetlands in Terengganu and
demonstrates the relationship of wetland background and wetland issues towards
environmental awareness from the view of local people in Setiu, Terengganu. Random
sampling measures was using for questionnaires survey and descriptive analyzed and inffered
to explain the relationship in this study by using factor analysis procedures
