The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in macro element (Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Calcium (Ca+2), Magnesium (Mg+2) and Phosphorus (P)) and microelement (Copper (Cu), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Zinc (Zn), and Cadmium (Cd)) levels in muscle tissues of commercial fish species sold in the Erzurum, Turkey. In the study, 6 individuals of each species were used. Tissue samples were analyzed for Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn, and Cd levels, separately, by ICP-OES method. There were significant changes between the macro and microelement levels of freshwater and marine fish. The results of this study showed that environmental differences may be the reason for the changes in macro and microelement levels of freshwater and marine fish.
