    Currently, evaluating metal levels in fish is a topic of national and global public health interest. Since a large number of metals contaminate rivers, lakes, and seas, it is important to determine if these products comply with the maximum permissible limits for mercury and arsenic established by the National Fisheries Health Service (SANIPES) of Peru, and thus evaluate if there is a risk to the consuming population. Methods: To determine mercury, a mercury hollow-cathode lamp was used at a wavelength of 253.70 nm via a graphite furnace. For arsenic determination, an arsenic hollow-cathode lamp was used at a wavelength of 193.70 nm via a hydride generator. Result: No values were found to exceed the maximum permissible limits for mercury and arsenic. Conclusion: The pejerrey (Odontesthes regia) sold at the Ancón fishing terminal is suitable for optimal human consumption.
