This dataset presents elemental concentration data for live freshwater products marketed in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, during 2024–2026. A total of 352 samples were collected from farmers’ markets and retail stores across 14 districts of Wuhan using a stratified random sampling approach, including 176 yellow catfish samples and 176 swamp eel samples. Concentrations of 20 elements, including Li, B, Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Sr, Mo, Cd, Sb, Ba, Pb, and Hg, were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The dataset includes sample ID, year, species, weight, sampling location, measured values, detection rates, concentration ranges, mean values, and exceedance information for regulated elements.
