The
accumulation of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe, Cr and Al in the exoskeleton,
hepatopancreas, gills and muscle tissues of the Astacus leptodactylus
(Eschscholtz, 1823) (crayfish) obtained from Çomar Stream were determined by
correlation analysis. The strongest correlations were observed between Mn-Cu
(r=0.780) and Fe-Cu (r=0.744) in the hepatopancreas. The
highest metal concentration was observed in hepatopancreas, the lowest was
determined in the muscle tissue. Sequence
of metal concentration levels were Al> Fe> Mn> Zn> Cu> Ni>
Pb> Cr in exoskeleton and gills, Al> Fe> Mn> Cu> Zn> Ni>
Pb> Cr in hepatopancreas and Al> Mn> Fe> Zn> Cu> Pb> Ni=Cr
in muscle.
