Abstract
This study aims to investigate heavy metal accumulation in water-sediment, plankton, and macrophyte samples of Lake Iznik, one of the important lakes of Turkey. In 2016, water-sediment and plankton samples were taken from 19 and 10 stations respectively. In addition, heavy metal analyzes were performed on samples taken from Potamogeton pectinatus, Najas marina, Myriophyllum spicatum, Typha latifolia, Schoenoplectus litoralis, Phragmites australis, which are the most abundant macrophytes in the lake. The data of water and sediment samples were spatially analyzed in GIS and mapped with ArcGIS. In the water samples of Lake Iznik, arsenic (As), mercury (Hg) and in sediment samples, arsenic (As), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) were detected at remarkable levels. The results revealed that Iznik Lake was under pressure in terms of heavy metals and their effects should be reduced.
期刊介绍：
Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences" (TrJFAS) is a refereed academic journal has been published by Central Fisheries Research Institute of Turkey and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and published in English.
It aims to address research and needs of all working and studying within the many varied areas of fisheries and aquatic sciences.
The Journal publishes English language original research papers, critical review articles, short communications and technical notes on applied or scientific research relevant to freshwater, brackish and marine environments.
TrJFAS was published biannually (April & November) between 2001 and 2009. A great number of manuscripts have been submitted to the journal for review from acceptance of the SCI index. Thereby, the journal has been published quarterly (March, June, September and December) from 2010 to 2017. The journal will be published monthly in 2018.
