“…There was a higher accumulation of biogenic elements during the sampling time, and the concentration was increasing from June to October. Seasonal variations in the concentrations of metals and biogenic elements are commonly reported [1,[70][71][72]. These elements often do not vary together, and there are seasonally different peaks and falls for different elements [71].…”

“…These changing parameters influence the bioavailability of biogenic elements. Most of the studies report the highest concentrations of biogenic elements in fish in the summer, and they mostly relate these concentrations to water temperature [59,71,81,82]. Fish with increasing ambient temperatures increase their metabolic rate [83].…”

Aquatic organisms are exposed to a complete mix of elements. The accumulation of elements in organisms often reflects the amount of these elements in the surrounding environment, especially in the water environment, where the elements are easily spread [1, 2]. In studies where the concentration of metals in different lakes increased in gradient, the accumulation of metals increased in the juvenile perch transplanted up the gradient and the opposite down the gradient [3]. The accumulation of elements in fish depends on environmental factors such as temperature, pH, dissolve organic matter, and salinity [4-6]. These physicochemical parameters often change with the season, and thus season affects the bioavailability and accumulation of elements in fish [1]. Biological factors such as age, size, and weight of individuals, sex, reproduction cycle, feeding, and habitat use also play an important role in the accumulation of elements [2, 7-10]. The accumulation and the beneficial or toxic effects of elements depend on element properties. In general, elements are categorized into biologically essential and non-essential. Biogenic elements are integral components to support the function of an organism [11]. However, the concentration and accumulation of these elements account for the
