dc.description.abstractThis study was performed for the assessment of seven metals (Hg, Cd, Pb, As, Cu, Zn and Fe) in sea trout farmed at the Yakakent coast of the Black Sea and sold in Sinop market. Sea trout is a widespread farmed species in rich water resources of Turkey. When the fishing season is closed, sea trout becomes one of the most consumed fish species in Sinop. For the present study, a total of 5 large trout individuals were randomly collected each month during the period between January and June in 2015 from the fish market in Sinop city. Mostly Hg, Cd and As were below the detection limits except in some individuals obtained in May and June. The results of the statistical analysis showed significant differences among sampling months. This variation is significantly different for the metals (P<0.05). Means of these metals in edible muscles of large sea trout are lower than the maximum permissible limit set by the Turkish Food Codex and EU Regulation limits for fish. The results obtained in this study show that the heavy metal levels in the edible tissues of sea trout were lower than the recommended standards. In conclusion, consumption of sea trout as food bought from the Sinop markets may not be a possible health risk for the local people at the time of the study.
