Determination Of Trace Metal Levels In Some Fish Species In Kılıçkaya Dam Lake From Sivas Turkey

Heavy metal pollution in water sources can cause critical health problems for people. Therefore, analysis of heavy metal accumulation of the living organisms in waters at certain periods should be conducted. İn this study fish samples were collected from the lake Kılıçkaya in Sivas, Turkey for analysis of trace metal levels. Fish species are Cyprinus carpio, Leuciscus cephalus, Capoeta capoeta, Silurus glanis, Barbus plebejus and Clupeonella abrau muhlisi. Sample analyses were performed by AAS. Fish species were dried at 109 0C for 3 days. Dried whole fish bodies one by one were powdered and homogenized. Later one gram of the samples was digested microwave technique. Trace metal levels (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Ni, Co) were found between 102.7-268.0; 7.6-64.5; 34.8-65.1; 3.1-9.6; 5.4-8.2; 0.3-11.8; 1.1-20.5 and 0.7-4.1 μg/g, respectively.
