“…Target organs, such as liver, gonads, kidney and gills, have a tendency to accumulate heavy metals in high values, as shown in many species of fish in different areas: in M. cephalus from Mediterranean Sea (Abdel-Moniem et al 1994); in Trachurus mediterraneus from eastern Mediterranean waters (Yılmaz 2003;Abdel-Moniem et al 1994); in Mullus barbatus and S. aurata from Iskenderun Gulf (Kargın 1996b;Yılmaz 2003). It is generally accepted that muscle does not accumulate the metals (Legorburu et al 1988).…”

In this study, the levels of some heavy metals (Al, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) in muscle, gill, and liver of Carassius carassius and in the water samples from Eber Lake (Afyonkarahisar, Turkey) have been investigated. Additionally, one of the lipid peroxidation markers, malondialdehide (MDA) and glutathion (GSH) levels were investigated. All the metal analysis was performed by using ICP-AES. According to results obtained, it was observed that heavy metals were accummulated in liver in the highest degree and lowest one in the muscle tissues. MDA and GSH levels varied in the seasons but their winter levels were found to be statistically meaningful when compared with other seasons. The obtained data of metals from the study were compared with the acceptable levels of Turkish governmental regulation and they were found not to be harmful for human health. On the other hand, it was suggested that oxidative stress markers should be checked regularly in order to get important data for continuous life of aquatic organisms.

ABSTRACT:Monit oring heav y met als c ontaminati on i n aquatic organisms especiall y fishes is of paramount c onsider ation as the fis hes acc umulate metals in their tiss ues and pos e a risk to hum an healt h b ecaus e of t heir dail y consumption. The c atfis h Cl arias l azer a w as collect ed fr om Alk halil sew age l akes (nort h of Almadinah Alm onawar a) and the gills, muscles , liv er and kidneys wer e r emov ed, dried and acid digest ed for the det ermination of 8 diff erent heav y metals using ICP -MS . Result s s howed that C u w as t he highes t acc umulated element i n all anal ysed fis h organs . The st udy revealed t hat gills, kidneys , and liver accum ulate great er amounts of heav y m et als fishes t han t he muscl e tiss ues . The c urrent s tud y c oncl uded that edible portion (muscl es) of C. laz era is c urrentl y saf e for hum an c onsumption but m onit oring studies s hould be conti nued t o r ecord any chang es in the acc umul ation r ate.

“…Bottom-dwelling and demersal species usually had higher concentrations than more pelagic species, which may be related to greater exposure to contaminated sediments (Trucco et al, 1990;Parsons, 1999). It is generally accepted that muscle is not an organ in which metals accumulate (Legorburu et al, 1988). The results presented in this study showed that concentration of some metals (Zn, Cd, Cr and Se) in catfish (demersal species) Bioaccumulation of Heavy Metals in Aquatic Animals 151 were relatively higher than that recorded in muscle tissues of pelagic fishes (mullet and drum).…”
