dc.description.abstractIncreasing human populations and activities depending on the industrial and agricultural improvements cause worldwide disappearance of usable water resources. The harmful effects from polluted waters reach the human body by the food chain. In particular, heavy metals, which are known as some of the most important pollutants to nature, can stay in the ecosystem for a long time, lead to harmful effects in food chain by accumulations, and have direct or indirect toxic effects on aquatic organisms. These metals can be deposited in the body of the organisms which are an important ring in food chain in aquatic environments. In this study, a total of five heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Zn, Cd, and Pb) in water, sediment, some macroinvertebrates and fish at the Sea of Marmara (Turkey), which is a bridge between Black Sea and Aegean Sea, were investigated. For this aim, water, sediment and organism samplings were done in 2009, the date before the planned construction of a channel in the Marmara Sea. Thus, it was aimed to contribute to the researches which have been performed in the Marmara Sea. According to the results, while the levels of Cd and Zn were determined to have high values in the water samples, the obtained concentration levels in sediment and accumulation rates in the organisms were compared in this study. © 2021 Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Union of Chemists in Bulgaria.en_US
