Abstract
In this study, the bioaccumulation levels, the geochemical distributions and the ecotoxicological risk levels of potential toxic elements (PTEs: Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Hg and Pb) were determined in water and fish (Rainbow trout) collected from 15 different ponds in the Black Sea coastal basin. Among the PTEs in muscle tissue, Fe was determined to be at the highest level, while Cd and Co were at the lowest level. It was observed that As and Mn were above the maximum permissible levels. Water Quality Index (WQI) values were excellent at all stations, and no pollution levels were detected that would threaten human health according to the Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HPI) and the Heavy Metal…
