Tissue concentrations are reported on a wet-weight basis. One specimen pool was analysed per species per site; the two species function here as a predator- detritivore contrast rather than as biological replicates, so no within-site variance can be attached to any single value. <br/>This dataset is derived from "Heavy Metal Speciation in Riverbed Sediments and Trophic Transfer to Benthic Fish at Selected Barrages of Punjab", a thesis by Afifa Sehr (24-CUVAS-0082), Cholistan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Bahawalpur, Pakistan (2026). All values are transcribed verbatim from the source thesis; none has been estimated, imputed, or otherwise generated.</description></descriptions><geoLocations><geoLocation><geoLocationBox><westBoundLongitude>70.85</westBoundLongitude><eastBoundLongitude>73.88333333</eastBoundLongitude><southBoundLatitude>29.35</southBoundLatitude><northBoundLatitude>30.7</northBoundLatitude></geoLocationBox></geoLocation><geoLocation><geoLocationPlace>Punjab, Pakistan</geoLocationPlace></geoLocation></geoLocations></resource>
