Abstract

The present study aimed to determine the differences in metal levels of Aluminum (Al), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), İron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) between muscle and liver tissues of Trachurus trachurus, the correlation of metal accumulation in tissues with fish length and weight was examined. Health risks and nutritional adequacy were evaluated based on metal levels accumulated in fish muscle. The results demonstrated that fish liver accumulated higher metal levels than muscle. The investigation revealed that the majority of metals present in the tissues of the fish did not exhibit a significant correlation with their size (p>0.05). It can be concluded that fish are not an adequate source of these nutrients because their nutrient levels are below reference values. The fish were found to be nutrient deficient, as the levels of nutrients were below reference values. The estimated daily intakes of all metals accumulated in muscle were below reference doses. The target hazard coefficient and target hazard index values were less than 1. Lifetime carcinogenic risk values were below 10-4, and total carcinogenic risk values were within the acceptable range. Pb and Cd concentrations in muscle exceeded the tolerable limit. The daily amount of fish that could be consumed without non-carcinogenic health risk was 181 grams for Cd and 295 grams for Pb. The daily amount of fish that could be consumed without carcinogenic health risk was 1.21 grams for Cd and 231 grams for Pb.
