Abstract

The accumulation of heavy metals such as Pb, Hg, Co, Cr, Cu, Zn, and Br were determined in water, sediment, muscle, and gill of three fish species (Leuciscus cephalus, Capoeta tinca, Capoeta capoeta) which were collected in Kızılırmak River Basin (Delice River). The metal concentration showed a general trend of Br>Zn> Pb>Cr>Cu>Hg>Co in water and Cr>Zn>Pb> Cu>Co>Hg>Br in sediment samples while Zn> Cu>Pb>Br>Cr>Hg>Co were in muscle and Zn>Pb>Cu>Cr>Br>Hg>Co were in the gill tissue.
