Determination of Certain Metals in Tissues of Pike (Esox lucius L, 1758) Caught from Atikhisar Reservoir, Çanakkale
Abstract :
In this study aimed to determine the levels of cadmium, lead, copper and zinc in gill, liver, kidney and muscle tissues of pike (Esox lucius L, 1758) caught from Atikhisar Reservoir, Çanakkale. For this aim, 25 pike were caught with gillnets and were brought to the laboratory in September, 2012. The metal analyses in tissues were measured with ICP-OES (Varian Liberty Sequential). The results were evaluated by statistical method, one-way ANOVA (p 0.05). Consequently, the concentrations of metals, measured in edible tissues of fish caught from Atikhisar Reservoir, were defined below the maximum permitted limits according to Turkish Food Codex. Hence, these concentrations of metals were pointed as safely for human consumption.
