- Abstract
Meriç River Delta is the most important wetland ecosystem for Thrace Region of Turkey and it is under effect of an intensive organic and inorganic pollution originated from agricultural activities conducted around its basin and from industrial discharges by means of especially Ergene River. The aim of this study was to determine and assess the toxic metal bioaccumulations in fishes of the system. For this purpose, cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), arsenic (As), boron (B), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) levels in muscle, gill and liver tissues of Cyprinus carpio, Silurus glanis, Scardinius erythrophthalmus, Esox lucius, Carassius gibelio, Perca fluviatilis, Sander lucioperca, Squalius orpheus species caught from Gala lake and Meriç river were determined and the results were evaluated in terms of fish and human health. According to results of the present study, bioaccumulation of toxic elements in fish tissues were found in quite high levels and cadmium, lead, nickel and chromium levels detected in muscle tissue of fishes have been found to be above the limits for human consumption in general.
