Title:	Trace element concentrations in fish and bottom sediments of an eutrophic dam reservoir
Authors:	Amirowicz Antoni Szarek-Gwiazda Ewa Gwiazda Robert
Abstract:	Total trace element concentrations and their binding forms were studied in benthic sediments and in roach (benthivore), bream (planktivore/benthivore), and pikeperch (piscivore) in the upper and lower sections of the Dobczyce Reservoir in southern Poland. The sediment was polluted to a low degree by Cd and relatively unpolluted by Pb, Zn, Mn, and Fe. According to the index of geoaccumulation (Igeo), Cd was the most mobile element in the sediment and was bioconcentrated in fish tissues to the highest degree, especially in roach, which feeds by burrowing into the sediment. The trace element distribution in fish tissues (muscle, liver, kidney, and gills), fish species, and in fish from different locations is discussed.
