Abstract
The current study examined the concentrations of three heavy metals
(cadmium, copper, and zinc) in the tissues of common carp fish. (gills-musclesintestines) collected from one of the private farms that raised fish in floating cages in the Euphrates River from 18/10/2021 to 18/3/2022. Every month, water
samples were analyzed, as were fish tissue samples. Using an atomic absorption
spectroscopy device, standard procedures were followed to assess the concentration of heavy metals in water and tissues. The results showed that the highest
concentration of zinc, cadmium, and copper was detected in the water during the
winter season, reaching (125.5-31.95-1.37) MKgm/L. The highest concentrations
of cadmium in tissues were found in the autumn season for gills and muscles
(1.58-0.81) mkgm/L dry weight, and the highest concentration in tissues (0.80)
mkgm/L dry weight in the winter. The highest concentrations of copper were
found in the gills and muscles, followed by the intestines. Where concentrations
are at their highest in the autumn season (11-9.89, 12.31) mkgm/gm dry weight.
As for zinc was found in high concentrations in the gills, intestines, and muscles,
with the highest concentrations recorded in the autumn season (81.6-85-93 – 112)
mkgm/gm dry weight. The results revealed that heavy metal accumulation occurred in the following pattern: Concentrations in water: cadmium
