Özet
Heavy metal pollution, especially in freshwater, is a
serious problem for aquatic organisms and human health. In this study, the
scales of Capoeta capoeta living in the Karasu River (Turkey), which is
estimated to be contaminated with pollutants, especially heavy metals, were
examined for structural anomalies. Two stations on the river were selected for
this purpose. Fish and surface water samples were taken at the stations. The
heavy metal analyses were carried out in the water and the fish tissue. Heavy
metal pollution was detected in the surface water. It was also observed that
some heavy metals (As, Cu, Cd, Cr, Mn, Pb, Ni, Zn) accumulate in the fish
tissue. Significant structural differences were observed on the dorsal surface
of the scales, such as interrupted primary radii, damaged circuli, damaged
focus, damaged anterior scale margin, broken focus, deformed scale structure,
scattered chromatophores, dilatation of primary radii, loss of focus, damaged
annuli, symmetry shift in the lateral line canal, eroded circuli, damaged
posterior scale margin, double focus, branching in the primary radii,
asymmetric circuli, incomplete annuli and interrupted secondary radii in each
of the fish collected from the contaminated site. Heavy metals are suspected to
be responsible for the structural anomalies in the scales. Based on these
observations, it can be said that fish scales can be used as an effective
indicator of water quality.
