Determination of Heavy Metals in Roach (Rutilus rutilus) and Bleak (Alburnus alburnus) in Zhrebchevo Dam Lake
The aim of this study was to examine the concentration of iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) in roach (Rutilus rutilus) and bleak (Alburnus alburnus) as species for human consummation. Two fresh water fish species, roach and bl...

The aim of this study was to examine the concentration of iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) in roach (Rutilus
rutilus) and bleak (Alburnus alburnus) as species for human consummation. Two fresh water fish species, roach and bleak were caught from Zhrebchevo Dam Lake in Bulgaria. Determination of heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Mn, Cr and Cd) in muscle samples were performed with electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The heavy metal content in the meat of roach and bleak were found to be 0.59±0.032 - 0.69±0.128 mg kg-1 for Cu, 6.59±0.224 - 7.34±0.142 mg kg-1
