Abstract: This study evaluated PAH concentrations in smoked Clarias gariepinus and Mugil cephalus obtained from Nembe River, Bayelsa State. Samples were dehydrated in an oven, pulverized, and precisely weighed before n-hexane extraction. Following filtration, the extracts were analyzed using GC-FID to quantify PAH content. The following results were obtained, (6.0 mg/L, 19.81 mg/L), acenaphthylene (7.0 mg/L, 7.0mg/L), acenaphthene (7.0 mg/L, 7.0mg/L), fluorene (9.00 mg/L, 9.0 mg/L), phenanthrene (7.0 mg/L, 7.0 mg/L), anthracene (7.0 mg/L, 7.0mg/L), fluranthene (.......
