“…In this study, heavy metal concentrations were found to be higher in the gills and liver than in the muscle tissue. Similar results related to the fact that muscle was not an active tissue in accumulating heavy metals were reported for other fish species (Canlı & Atlı 2003;Canpolat & Calta 2003;Altındağ & Yiğit 2005;Erdogrul & Erbilir 2007;Öztürk et al 2009;Sonmez et al 2012;Kalkan et al 2015;Ural & Danabas 2015;Olgunoglu et al 2015;Aydogan et al 2017;Gunes et al 2019;Kacar & Karadede-Akın 2019;Danabas et al 2020). These results also indicated that the accumulation and biological demand for each metal varied between fish tissues.…”

“…Of the aquatic organisms, fish in particular are an important food source for human health due to their rich content of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, fish are extensively used to assess the quality of aquatic environments and as bioindicators of heavy metal pollution (Indrajith et al 2008;Danabas et al 2020). They are also among the species that are at the top of the aquatic food chain.…”

The study aimed at determining the concentration of heavy metals in muscle, liver, and gill tissues of four fish species (Acanthobrama marmid, Capoeta umbla, Capoeta trutta and Chondrostoma regium) collected from five sites in the Karasu River, Erzincan, between July 2019 and January 2020. The relationships between fish size (length and weight) and metal concentrations in the tissues were also investigated using Pearson correlation analysis. Concentrations of Al, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn were higher than those of other metals in all tissue samples from four fish species. Fe and Al concentrations were very high, while the lowest Co, Cd and Pb concentrations were determined in the muscle, liver and gill tissues. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that significant relationships between heavy metal concentrations and fish size (length and weight) were positive (p < 0.01, p < 0.05), except for a few cases. Furthermore, heavy metal concentrations in the edible parts (muscle) of the studied fish species did not exceed the maximum acceptable concentrations (MACs) proposed by national and international food standards and were safe within human consumption limits, except for Cr.

“…Various studies have been conducted on metal concentrations in freshwater fish. Nonetheless, only a few studies have been conducted on the heavy metal contents of these fish species caught in Keban Dam Reservoir (Aksu et al, 2012;Calta & Canpolat, 2006;Canpolat & Çalta, 2003;Kulahci & Dogru, 2006) on their bioavailability in the tissues and sampling sites of fish species (Danabas et al, 2018).…”

“…Metals may be toxically released into aquatic environments through domestic, urban and industrial wastes; agriculture; and anti‐fouling plants, causing detrimental effects on the diversity and distribution of aquatic animals and ecosystem functions (de Oliveira‐Filho et al ., 2004; Tagliaferro et al ., 2018). The absorption and elimination of metals vary depending on their bioavailability in the tissues and sampling sites of fish species (Danabas et al ., 2018).…”

This study investigated the concentrations of some accumulated trace metals (iron, manganese, zinc and copper) and fatty acids in liver and muscle tissues of mirror and scaly carp varieties (Cyprinus carpio L., 1758) living in Keban Dam Reservoir (Elazig), which is the second‐largest artificial lake in Turkey that hosts commercially valuable and preferred fish varieties for human consumption. The inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) method was used to analyse the concentrations of trace elements. Fatty acid levels were measured in a gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS) device, using a flame ionization detector (FID). Considering the two fish varieties and tissues that were studied, the mean metal concentrations (μg g−1) were found in the following ranges: Fe 12.32–49.97, Mn 0.12–0.62, Zn 10.45–86.59 and Cu 2.74–11.86. Although the lowest levels were detected in the muscle tissue for all the metals examined, the levels in the liver tissue were significantly higher. According to the results of the analyses on fatty acid concentrations, the mean total saturated fatty acid levels in the muscle tissue of the scaly carp and mirror carp varieties were found to be 31.07 and 31.43 (%), respectively, whereas these values for the liver tissue were consecutively 22.36 and 22.08 (%). Successively, the mean total levels of unsaturated fatty acids were determined as 68.93 and 68.40 (%) in the muscle tissue and 77.64 and 77.92 in the liver tissue. This study, with the finding that the trace (metallic) element accumulation rates were below the upper limits of the tolerable range, and the examined fish varieties were rich in fatty acids, shows that mirror carp and scaly carp living in Keban Dam Reservoir are highly nutritious for human diets.

“…Non-essential metal species such as those of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) have no known biological function in vertebrates and are toxic even at low concentrations (Danabas et al 2018). Cd 2+ is considered a threat for animals because it can alter ionoregulation, modulate protein structure and generate oxidative stress (Ferain et al 2018).…”
