Abstract :In this study, sediment-bound heavy metal levels of Enne and Porsuk Dam Lakes and their bioaccumulation factors insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BAFs); to various tissues insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Muscle, skin, gill, liver and intestine); of common carp insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Cyprinus carpio ); were investigated. After per month acclimation period the fingerlings were subjected to one month assay in eight tanks. The analyses of heavy metals insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn, Ni, Fe, Cr, B, Ag and Se); were performed with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICP-OES); in Laboratory of Environmental Issues Research and Training Centre, Anadolu University. Hg and B were not encountered in sediments of both Enne and Porsuk Dam Lakes. There were any statistical differences insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Except Zn); between heavy metal concentrations of both dame lakes. According to international criterias and Turkish regulations, heavy metal concentrations insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Except Ni); in sediment of both dame lakes were markedly below the maximum permissible levels. BAFs of the elements were significantly different. Metal levels in various tissues of the sediment-treated group were generally higher than those of the control group. Althouhg BAFs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(from sediments); of some elements were above 1 in some tissues, BAFs of all elements were also markedly below 1 in the muscle tissue.
