“…HM levels can vary signi cantly in different organs or tissues of sh [5]. Differences in HM concentrations among sh tissues are in uenced by various factors, such as the levels of HMs in water and food, water chemistry, and the species, size, age, gender, feeding habits, habitat, and physiological status of sh [1,29,[31][32][33][34]. Relationships may exist between these factors.…”

In current study, the distribution of 10 heavy metals in muscle, gills and liver of two fish species (Squalius pursakensis and Cyprinus carpio) living in the Damsa Dam Lake (Turkey) was examined in relation to fish gender and size. The highest quantities of all heavy metals were determined in the gills and liver of the fish species. The levels of most heavy metals in tissues did not differ significantly between both fish species. Only a few heavy metals in the tissues of both fish species demonstrated significant associations with fish length or weight. In terms of the levels of most of the heavy metals in the tissues, there weren’t any significant differences between the male and the female fish. The estimated daily intakes of all of the heavy metals were lower than the reference doses. The values of the target hazard quotient and the hazard index were found to be below 1 and the values regarding carcinogenic risk were assessed to be within or lower than the permissible levels. These results proved that the examined fish species can be consumed safely.

“…According to Rožič et al [ 53 ], the Zn and Cu values in cultured and wild seabream were below the permissible levels (50 and 20 mg/kg, respectively) [ 49 ]. The values given by the authors were higher than the values determined for this species of fish covered by the research in this paper ( Table 1 ).…”

The aim of this study was to estimate the fish quality in terms of the Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn contents. The research material was the muscle tissue of the fish crucian carp (Carassius carassius Linnaeus, 1758), flounder (Platichthys flesus Linnaeus, 1758), Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus, 1758), mackerel (Scomber scombrus Linnaeus, 1758), Blue grenadier (Macruronus novaezelandiae Hector, 1871), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792), tench (Tinca tinca Linnaeus, 1758), tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758), Walleye pollock (Gadus chalcogrammus Pallas, 1814) and perch (Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758.). Heavy metals were determined with the atomic absorption spectrometry method (AAS). Significantly high concentrations of zinc (19.52 mg/kg wet weight), copper (0.77 mg/kg) and iron (6.95 mg/kg) were found in the muscles of crucian carp (p < 0.05) compared to the other fish studied, whereas Walleye pollock had a higher content of manganese (0.266 mg/kg) (p < 0.05). All studied fish species do not pose a threat to humans from these four metals. This was indicated by quality indexes (THQ and HI) whose values were below one. The values of these metals also did not exceed the maximum allowable concentrations established by the FAO (1983), but monitoring both the aquatic environment and the fish living there is necessary, for example, for the time-changing abiotic and biotic factors that can cause an increase in metals in the organs of fish.

The most harmful aspect of water pollution is the presence of heavy metals, which are substances that cannot be removed from the body by metabolic processes and have the capacity to bioaccumulate and amplify. These heavy metals have contaminated the aquatic system as a result of urbanization and industrialization, which is also having an impact on the diversity and ecosystem balance of aquatic species. As, Cr, Pb, Hg, and Cd are the most common heavy metals that have a systemic toxicant effect on human health. Heavy metals mainly enter the fish body through gills, body surface and digestive tract during ingestion of metal accumulated food materials. Heavy metal toxicity can alter individual development rates, physiological processes, mortality, and reproduction in fish. Fish consumption can cause heavy metal toxicity, which can lead to impaired energy levels, damage to the brain and central nervous system, as well as harm to the blood, lungs, kidneys, bones, liver, and other important organs. When eating metal-accumulated food materials, fish's gills, body surface, and digestive tract are the main entry points for heavy metals into the fish's body. Fish development rates, physiological functions, mortality, and reproduction can all be affected by heavy metal toxicity. Fish consumption can cause heavy metal toxicity, which can lead to impaired energy levels, damage to the brain and central nervous system, as well as harm to the blood, lungs, kidneys, bones, liver, and other important organs. The objective of this review is to evaluate the potential causes of heavy metal pollution in aquatic environments, as well as the effects of these pollutants on fish, and human health.
