“…The results presented in Table 4 indicates the comparison of the heavy metal levels in tissues of Barbus grypus in Batman Dam with those in the tissues of Barbus grypus obtained from other locations. The mean heavy metal concentrations in the muscle tissues of Barbus grypus in the present study were found to be lower than those reported for Barbus grypus and Barbus xanthopterus in the Karoon and Dez Rivers in Iran (Mohammadi, Sary, & Khodadadi, 2011), for the Barbus grypus and Tor grypus in the Atatürk Dam Lake, Turkey Olgunoğlu & Olgunoğlu, 2011), for the Barbus grypus, Barbus luteus and Barbus sharpeyi in the Shadegan wetland in Iran (Alhashemi, Sekhavatjou, Kiabi, & Karbassi, 2012), and for the Barbus capito in the Seyhan River, Turkey (Canlı, Ay, & Kalay, 1998).…”

The present study was carried out to determine concentrations of heavy metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in liver, gill and muscle of Barbus grypus, which has a great economic value, in Batman Dam (Turkey). Heavy metal concentration levels in fish were investigated using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The metal concentrations in the liver and gill of Barbus grypus were found to be higher comparing to those in the muscle. Metal concentrations in the fish tissues vary significantly (P<0.05). Concentrations of the metals were different in the various organs, the highest concentrations of Mn (4. ) were found in liver and gill, while Cr (0.132 mg kg -1 ) was the only metal that is higher in muscle tissue. Heavy metal concentrations in the muscle of the fish should not exceed the acceptable levels proposed by the Food and Agriculture Organization, World Health Organization and Turkish legislation for food sources for human consumption. Therefore, the metal levels in such environments, should be monitored periodically to avoid excessive intake of heavy metals consumed by public.

“…An extensive literature is available on the bioaccumulation of toxic metals in freshwater fish including Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ (Hosseini Alhashemi et al 2012, Low et al 2015. However, fewer studies have explained their effects on the structural and compositional changes in various tissues of the exposed organisms (Krishnakumar et al 2012, Palaniappan andRenju 2009).…”

Contamination of aquatic ecosystems with toxic metals such as Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ is a serious issue in the industrialized world, which can affect freshwater fish even at low concentrations. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ alone or in combination on the biochemical constituents of liver and muscle in Crucian carp using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Results from the spectral analysis revealed significant decline in protein and increase in lipids in the two tissues with marked effect caused by the combined exposure of Cd 2+ and Pb 2+ . In case of liver, alteration in the intensity and band area at amide I resulted in a differential response of structural protein for the exposed groups. Furthermore, a decrease in the α-helix and alterations in the nucleic acids content was also observed in both liver and muscle of the exposed fish. Moreover, biochemical alterations in the vital tissue of freshwater fish due to toxic contaminants can be used as a marker of environmental pollution with the help of FT-IR spectroscopy.
