Abstract :The purpose of this study was to investigate changes in macro element insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Sodium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Na+);, Potassium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(K+);, Calcium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ca+2);, Magnesium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mg+2); and Phosphorus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P);); and microelement insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Copper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cu);, Iron insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Fe);, Manganese insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Mn);, Nickel insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ni);, Zinc insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Zn);, and Cadmium insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cd);); levels in muscle tissues of commercial fish species sold in the Erzurum, Turkey. In the study, 6 individuals of each species were used. Tissue samples were analyzed for Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn, and Cd levels, separately, by ICP-OES method. There were significant changes between the macro and microelement levels of freshwater and marine fish. The results of this study showed that environmental differences may be the reason for the changes in macro and microelement levels of freshwater and marine fish.
