The common carp samples were capturedby local fishermen and were purchased from fish markets in Bafra. Liver, gill, stomach +intestine, skin and muscles of C. carpio were analyzed for Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Hg and Cd using aninductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Metal concentrations in the commoncarp occurred in the order: Fe>Zn>Cu>Pb>Hg>Cd. The non-essential metals Cd, Hg and Pb inedible tissues of common carp were below the detection of limits. The muscle tissues had alsothe lowest concentrations for essential metals. Higher concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu and Pb in C.carpio were liver > stomach + intestine > gill > skin > muscle, while the Hg and Cd levels wereliver > gill > stomach + intestine > skin > muscle, respectively.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBiyolojiSu KaynaklarıKimyaAnalitikDeniz ve Tatlı Su BiyolojisiArticle5329029410.35229/jaes.706424393338
