Sequence of metal concentration levels were Al> Fe> Mn> Zn> Cu> Ni> Pb> Cr in exoskeleton and gills, Al> Fe> Mn> Cu> Zn> Ni> Pb> Cr in hepatopancreas and Al> Mn> Fe> Zn> Cu> Pb> Ni=Cr in muscle.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Öz The accumulation of Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Mn, Fe, Cr and Al in the exoskeleton, hepatopancreas, gills and muscle tissues of the Astacus leptodactylus (Eschscholtz, 1823) (crayfish) obtained from Çomar Stream were determined by correlation analysis.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The strongest correlations were observed between Mn-Cu (r=0.780) and Fe-Cu (r=0.744) in the hepatopancreas.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Sequence of metal concentration levels were Al> Fe> Mn> Zn> Cu> Ni> Pb> Cr in exoskeleton and gills, Al> Fe> Mn> Cu> Zn> Ni> Pb> Cr in hepatopancreas and Al> Mn> Fe> Zn> Cu> Pb> Ni=Cr in muscle.

The strongest correlations were observed between Mn-Cu (r=0.780) and Fe-Cu (r=0.744) in the hepatopancreas. The highest metal concentration was observed in hepatopancreas, the lowest was determined in the muscle tissue. Sequence of metal concentration levels were Al> Fe> Mn> Zn> Cu> Ni> Pb> Cr in exoskeleton and gills, Al> Fe> Mn> Cu> Zn> Ni> Pb> Cr in hepatopancreas and Al> Mn> Fe> Zn> Cu> Pb> Ni=Cr in muscle.
