“…A similar phenomenon was observed by Šatovic et al . () in sardines, in which the highest Se concentration was noted in the spring period. The observed differences in the content of this element in fish organs are probably due to the seasonal changes in food availability.…”

While the world literature presents many studies on the occurrence of selenium in aquatic ecosystems, the risks associated with overexposure of hydrobionts to this element and the consequences of its magnification in the food chain (areas rich in Se), there are few studies on Se concentration in Poland's water bodies and watercourses (Se deficient area). The objective of the study was to assess the Se bioaccumulation in Dąbie Małe Lake, based on Se concentration in the water, bottom sediments, and organs of Rutilus rutilus and Perca fluviatilis. The accumulation and biomagnification factor averaged 231 ± 69 and 1.2, respectively. Bioconcentration factor, calculated as Se in muscle divided by Se in water, ranged 35–104. Although Se concentrations in bottom sediments and fish were generally lower than the values reported in the literature, Se concentration in the water exceeded 2 µg/L, recommended value as a probable safe water concentration for wildlife.
