The Seasonal Variations of Heavy Metal Levels in Muscle, Liver and Gill of Pike (Esox lucius L., 1758) Inhabiting Işıklı Lake (Turkey)
Öz
This study was carried
out between October 2012 and July 2013 and the aim of the current study is to
investigate to determine levels of some heavy metals in muscle, liver and gills
of pike in Işıklı Lake, Turkey. To determine the accuracy of our device, metal
levels were analyzed in DORM-3 and DOLT -4 standard reference materials, the
resulting values were compared with values given by the National Council of
Canada. Except Cr, all metals were determined in all tissues in all seasons. Cr
was below detection limit in liver in autumn and summer and in muscle in
summer. Generally, higher metal levels were found in liver, while the lowest
were determined in muscle tissue of pike. Heavy metal levels in tissues
increased in summer and winter, but decreased in autumn and spring. Some of the
results were above the limits for fish given by WHO, EC and Turkish Food Codex.
This study shows that a potential danger may occur in this region in the future
depending on the agricultural development.
