Seasonal variations of heavy metals in some tissues of Chondrostoma regium (Heckel, 1843) from Batman Dam, Turkey
Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to investigate seasonal changes in levels of Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb) in liver, gill and muscle tissues of Chondrostoma regium from Batman Dam. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to analyze heavy metal concentration levels in the fish. The metal concentrations in the same tissues of samples taken from Batman Dam were slightly variable. Among the metals that were studied, concentration of Fe in the tissues of the fish was the highest. The metal concentrations in the liver and gill of Chondrostoma regium were higher than those in the muscle. The average heavy metal concentration in the muscle of Chondrostoma regium was higher in the autumn and winter. The amounts of metal in muscle tissues of the fish were found lower than the acceptable values in fish tissues.
