“…The concentrations of Cu in these samples were far below these values, therefore regular consumptions of fish with such low amounts of Cu could not lead to any serious health risk so far as Cu is concerned. Cu levels in the present study are in good agreement with previous recorded values of fish species where the values ranged from 0.35 to 12.00 µg/g for livers of fish from the Tuzla Lagoon [18]; 0.32 to 6.48, 5.29 to 14.90 µg/g for fish from Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean Seas for muscles and livers, respectively [19]; 0.74 to 2.24 for fish from the Iskenderun Bay for muscles [26]; 0.70 to 27, 3.10 to 323 µg/g for fish from the Lake Budi [27]; 7.32 to 13.22, 9.13 to 10.83, 12.97 to 14.92, 68.84 to 184.85 µg/g for muscles, skins, gills, livers , respectively, for fish from Lake Qaroun [28].…”

“…These Co levels were agreement with our results. On the other hand, Co levels were reported as 1.42 lg g -1 (Türkmen et al 2005) and 0.73-1.91 lg g -1 (Türkmen et al 2006) in fish from _ Iskenderun Bay. Our Co levels were lower than them.…”

“…Cu levels found in the present study ranged from 0.21 to 5.89 lg g -1 for garfish and from 0.52 to 2.97 lg g -1 for bluefish, respectively. Cu levels in literature ranged from 1.01 to 4.54 lg g -1 for fish from coastal waters of Black Sea (Topcuoglu et al 2002), from 0.74 to 2.24 lg g -1 for fish from _ Iskenderun Bay (Türkmen et al 2006) and from 0.15 to 5.06 lg g -1 for fish from Turkish seas . In general, these values reported in literature for Turkish seas were agreement our results.…”

Levels of contaminants in fish are of particular interest because of the potential risk to humans who consume them. Fish samples were collected through the coastal waters of Turkey and the contents of cadmium, cobalt, chrome, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, zinc and lead in the liver and muscle tissues were determined. Among the metals analyzed, copper, zinc and iron were the most abundant in the different tissues while cadmium and lead were the least abundant both in Belone belone and Pomatomus saltatrix. Metal concentrations in muscles of fish species were found 0.01-0.38 mg kg(-1) for cadmium, 0.01-0.53 mg kg(-1) for cobalt, 0.05-1.87 mg kg(-1) for chromium, 0.21-5.89 mg kg(-1) for copper, 9.99-43.3 mg kg(-1) for iron, 0.14-1.33 mg kg(-1) for manganese, 0.06-4.70 mg kg(-1) for nickel, 0.09-0.81 mg kg(-1) for lead, 3.85-15.9 mg kg(-1) for zinc, respectively. Regional changes in metal concentration were observed in the tissues of both species, but these variations may not influence consumption advisories.

“…Metal pollution in the water bodies is usually monitored by measuring metal concentrations in water, sediments and biota (Monroy et al, 2014). Dependence only on water analyses is not considered as an accurate method to identify metals inputs in aquatic systems (Turkmen et al, 2006). In addition to aqueous metals determination, metals concentration in sediments has an important role during water quality evaluation (Bastami et al, 2015).…”

This work aimed to assess the impact of Sabal drains (northern part of El-Minufiyah governorate, Egypt) on the metals load of river Nile. Four sites were selected to monitor the partitioning of metals in the aquatic components: reference site (site1); 20Km before Sabal drainage (site2); Sabal site (site3) and 20Km after Sabal drainage (site4). The maximum means of aqueous metals were observed at site3 in the following order (mg/l): Fe (0.76) >Mn (0.325) >Zn(0.07) >Pb (0.064) >Cu (0.041) >Cd (0.0035), while the trend is slightly different in sediments (mg/kg): Fe (527.9) >Mn (102.7) >Zn (17.65) >Cu (11.4) >Pb (1.26)>Cd (0.07). Tissue-specific patterns of metal accumulation in Oreochromis niloticus were observed. As indicated by the calculated metal pollution index and bioaccumulation factor, the tissues of liver, kidneys and gills were observed to be strong bioaccumulators compared to muscular tissues. Regarding the correlation study in site3, the bioaccumulated metals in most tissues showed homogenous-correlation with aqueous metals (r>0.5) and diverse-correlations with respect to sedimentary metals. The calculated hazard index (HI) indicated that each metal had low HI but, the cumulative impacts of all metals represented a real threat to fish consumers especially at site3. Metals elevation was highly correlated with Sabal discharges and regulations for water and fish consumption have to be applied.
