Abstract
Objective of this study was to determine the mineral and heavy metal contents of anchovy caught from 3 different regions, namely the Black Sea (Sinop-Samsun coast), Sea of Marmara (İstanbul coast) and the Aegean Sea (İzmir coast). Mineral material and heavy metal contamination levels in anchovy were determined by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The average Na, Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Hg and Pb content of the anchovies caught from the Aegean Sea, Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea respectively; 911.04, 975.24, 1181.87; 403.85, 420.45, 509.44; 265.55, 3534.09, 4274.65; 1056.81, 978.26, 1265.53; 0.57, 1.39, 1.55; 13.062, 10.29, 17.93; 0.88, 0.77, 1.31; 20.03, 15.79, 30.72; 0.63, 0.16, 0.14 and
