Abstract
In this study, the levels of some heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cr, Co and Pb) in muscle, gill, skin, liver, gonad and kidney of 200 of Capoeta capoeta umbla caught from Hazar Lake (Elazığ) and in the water sampled from same region as fish were caught have been investigated. Co, Cr, Cd and Pb were not found in detectable levels both in water samples and in any organs and tissues according to results obtained by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The concentrations of detected heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) were the highest in liver and the lowest in the muscle. In addition, it has been found that the concentrations of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn were found different in various tissues and organs. The obtained results were compared with the other tolerable values for heavy metals provided from Ministry of Agriculture and it was determined that there was not any risk for humans healty when this fish species was consumed as food.
Özet
Bu çalışmada Hazar Gölü (Elazığ) 'nden yakalanan 200 adet Capoeta capoeta umbla (Heckel, 1843)'nın kas, solungaç, deri, karaciğer, gonad ve böbreğinde ve balıkların yakalandığı bölgeden alınan su örneklerinde bazı ağır metallerin (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cr, Co ve Pb) birikim düzeyleri araştırılmıştır. Atomik Absorpsiyon Spektro fotometre ile yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre Co, Cr, Cd ve Pb hem su örneklerinde hem de balığın incelenen doku ve organlarında tespit edilememiştir. Tespit edilebilen ağır metaller (Cu, Fe, Mn ve Zn) en yüksek karaciğerde, en düşük ise kas dokusunda bulunmuştur. Ayrıca Cu, Fe, Mn ve Zn konsantrasyonları farklı doku ve organlarda farklı bulunmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar Tarım Bakanlığı'nca belirtilen ağır metaller için kabul edilebilir değerler ile karşılaştırılmış ve bu balığın besin olarak tüketildiğinde insan sağlığı açısından bir risk oluşturmadığı belirlenmiştir.
