Abstract :This study was conducted to determine lead bioaccumulation in gill, muscle and hepatopancreas tissues of the Mediterranean Green Crab, Carcinus aestuarii insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Nardo, 1947); which exposed to sublethal concentrations of lead in vivo effect for 14 days. Lead accumulation in tissues of C.aestuarii was observed as gill>muscle>hepatopancreas in the end of 7th day and as gill>hepatopancreas>muscle in the end of 14th day. As a result of test, it was found that lead bioaccumulation in tissues of C. aestuarii that was exposed to different concentrations of lead insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.025; 0.05; 0.1 and 1.0 mg/L); was increased in line with the ambient lead concentration of and time of exposure. In addition, the most accumulation was determined in gills.
