Abstract
The distribution of some heavy metals in the muscle tissue of Merlangius merlangus (whiting), Mullus barbatus (red mullet), Engraulis encrasicholus (anchovy) from Black and Mediterranean Seas were studied. The highest Al (95.313 microg/g dw), Mn (1.390 microg/g dw), Zn (25.416 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in E. encrasicholus from Black Sea; the highest Li (3.200 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in E. encrasicholus from Mediterranean Sea; the highest Cd (1.685 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. merlangus from Mediterranean Sea; the highest Ni (1.363 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. merlangus from Black Sea; the highest Pb (0.727 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. barbatus from Black Sea and the highest Cr (1.893 microg/g dw), Fe (21.901 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. barbatus from Mediterranean Sea.
