Özet
The residue levels of antibiotics, metals and organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) were investigated in six fish species from the Karakaya Dam Reservoir, Turkey. Among monitored antibiotics, only enrofloxacin and ofloxacin were detected in muscle of fish species. Enrofloxacin levels in positive samples ranged from 0.0034 to 0.0073?mg/kg. It was detected in four fish species (trout barb, common carp, chub and Euphrates barbell), while ofloxacin was only found in common carp with the concentration of 0.0072?mg/kg. Both enrofloxacin and ofloxacin levels were below the maximum residue levels. No detectable residues of any OCPs were found in fish species. The highest toxic metal (As, Cd and Pb) content was detected in Euphrates barbell (0.103?mg/kg). Arsenic, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb and Zn levels were well below the maximum permissible limits. The levels of antibiotics and metals found in fish species in the present study were generally lower than or comparable to those reported in other water bodies. According to estimated daily intake and hazard quotient values, antibiotics and metals detected in these wild fish species do not appear to pose a serious risk to public health.
