Özet
Samples of Upeneus pori and Upeneus molucensis were collected in the Iskenderun Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean coast of Turkey the contents of Fe, Zn, Al, Cu, Pb, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cd in the liver, skin and muscle tissues were determined by ICP-AES. Statistical comparisons revealed that metal concentrations were significantly different in each tissue from different fish species. Al, Pb, Ni and Cd concentrations detected in the Upeneus moluccensis increased in following order; Muscle < Liver < Skin, for Fe, Zn, Cu and Cr Muscle < Skin < Liver. Al, Pb and Fe concentrations detected in the Upeneus port increased in following order; Muscle < Skin < Liver, for Zn, Muscle < Liver < Skin, for Ni skin < muscle and for Cr Skin < Muscle < Liver. Pb and Ni concentrations didn't show any significant differences between the tissues for this species. The concentrations of these metals measured in the muscle of the three species studied generally were lower than the levels issued by FAO and Turkish legislations. Only the Pb levels in two species and Cd levels in Upeneus molucensis were higher than the acceptable values for human consumption designated by various health organisations.
