This study analyzed the concentrations of 14 metal(loid)s and minerals (MMs) in the muscle, liver, and gills of Cyprinus carpio and Carasobarbus luteus collected from the Birecik Reservoir (Türkiye), located along the Euphrates River, using ICP-MS/MS. It also examined the influence of fish size (weight and length) on MM accumulation, assessed potential health risks associated with metal(loid) exposure, and evaluated the nutritional value of essential elements. Significant differences in MM concentrations were observed between the two species across all tissues. In both species, the liver exhibited the highest levels of MMs, followed by gills and muscle. No consistent pattern was found between fish size and MM accumulation. Both fish were identified as good dietary sources of essential elements such as Cu, Mg, P, K, Zn, Fe, and Mn. Health risk assessments indicated that consumption of these fish poses no carcinogenic or non-carcinogenic risk to adults. The weekly safe consumption limits were calculated as 840 g for C. carpio and 1680 g for C. luteus. Overall, the findings suggest that the nutritional benefits of consuming these fish species outweigh the potential risks from metal(loid) exposure.
本研究使用电感耦合等离子体质谱串联质谱仪（ICP-MS/MS）分析了从位于幼发拉底河沿岸的比雷吉克水库（土耳其）采集的鲤鱼和黄鳍鲃的肌肉、肝脏和鳃中14种金属（类金属）和矿物质（MMs）的浓度。研究还考察了鱼的大小（重量和长度）对MMs积累的影响，评估了与金属（类金属）暴露相关的潜在健康风险，并评估了必需元素的营养价值。在所有组织中，两种鱼的MMs浓度均存在显著差异。在这两种鱼中，肝脏中的MMs含量最高，其次是鳃和肌肉。未发现鱼的大小与MMs积累之间存在一致的模式。两种鱼均被确定为铜、镁、磷、钾、锌、铁和锰等必需元素的良好膳食来源。健康风险评估表明，食用这些鱼对成年人不存在致癌或非致癌风险。计算得出鲤鱼的每周安全食用限量为840克，黄鳍鲃为1680克。总体而言，研究结果表明，食用这些鱼类的营养益处超过了金属（类金属）暴露带来的潜在风险。
