Selected metal(oid) concentrations in the liver and muscle of Clarias gariepinus and Schilbe intermedius: a dataset of the Tzaneen Dam populations in South Africa

This data comprise morphometric characteristics of Clarius gariepinus and Schilbe intermedius from Tzaneen Dam. The dam also presents metal(loid) concentrations recorded in the liver and muscle of these two species. It was hypothesized that since the catchment is not characterized by heavy industrial activities, metal(loid) concentration in the water, sediment, and fish tissues will be low. However, these results are showing that the bottom sediment and fish tissues have accumulated elevated concentrations. How the data was collected is clearly described under steps to reproduce.
