Background & Purpose: Duo to their Nutritional importance and contaminated by heavy metals, study on the health of aquatic products is important. Therefore, this study tries to cover studies which have been conducted cadmium and lead concentrations in Caspian withe fish (popular fish) in the southern coast of Caspian Sea during past 5 years, and finally provide recommendation for limitation consumption it. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted 586 Caspian Withe fish that collected by various researchers in the southern coast of Caspian Sea. Concentrations of cadmium and lead in the studied species obtain from published paper in valid scientific journals during past 5 years. Finally, dietary consumption risk and limit were calculated. Results: Mean concentrations of cadmium and lead were exceeded various national and international standards. Daily and weekly intakes were less than allowable dose suggested by related organizations. According to estimations, in stand point of cadmium and lead, adult people can consume (kg day-1) Caspian witeh fish 0.19 and 0.05, and children 0.03 and 0.01, respectively without any non-carcinogenic effects.
