    Heavy metals are considered a serious global problem, generated primarily by human activities, where fish are indicators of arsenic and mercury contamination; these values are regulated by the Codex Alimentarius to ensure safe consumption. Therefore, the objective of the study was to determine the permissibility of arsenic and mercury in horse mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) and bonito (Sarda chiliensis) sold at the Ventanilla fishing terminal, Lima-2024. The methodology was a descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional study, where 10 samples of “jurel” and 10 of “bonito” from the Ventanilla fishing terminal were worked with. These samples were analyzed to quantify total arsenic and mercury using the atomic absorption technique. The results indicated that the mercury concentrations in “jurel” and “bonito” were 16,722 +- 2.206 and 15,44 +- 2.229 ug/kg, respectively; and the arsenic concentrations in “jurel” and “bonito” were 57,837 +- 20.005 and 59,808 +- 15,713 ug/kg, respectively. In conclusion, the arsenic and mercury values in “jurel” and “bonito” fish were within the maximum permissible limits established by the Codex Alimentarius.
