The heavy metal concentrations (Cd, Ni, Se, Zn, Cu, Cr) in the liver tissues of Gobius niger which are collected from various parts of Aliaga Bay, where a petroleum refinery is located, have been measured in this study. The accumulation of heavy metals in the collected samples from Aliaga region have been found to be minumum. In addition the physical measurements lenght) of the samples and season (summer, and spring) of the samples they were collected in taken into consideration, yielding to differences in the distribution of heavy metal accumulation.
