Abstrakt: The levels of some heavy metals in muscle tissues of female and male Callinectes sapidusobtained from the Göksu Delta, between Autumn (2018)—Summer (2019) were determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectroscopic (ICP-MS) methods and the results varied as follows; Al: 0.45–5.22 and 0.6–4.43, Fe: 1.49–25.52 and 4.62–6.60, Cu: 3.15–5.58 and 2.99–5.48, Zn: 41.95–63.04 and 41.51–56.75, As: < 0.0001–3.70 and < 0.0001–2.01 mg kg−1w.w respectively. The seasonal estimated weekly intakes (EWI), target hazard quotients (THQ) of metals and cancer risk (CR) levels of As were determined. The EWI levels of analyzed samples were found well below the provisional tolerable weekly intakes (PTWI) of the metals in all seasons. It was concluded that the consumption of female and male C. sapidusmay cause carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic effects in terms of As target hazard quotients. Moreover, Zn levels in 30% of female and 17.5% of male individuals were found higher than standards which proposed by Turkish Food Codex.
