This study investigates the seasonal variations in the elemental composition of five economically valuable fish species from Bozcaada, North Aegean: red seabream (), gilthead seabream (), saddled seabream (), white seabream (), and common dentex (), with a focus on both essential minerals and toxic metals. Fish samples ( = 10 per species per season) were collected across four seasons, and their weights and lengths were recorded. The concentrations of elements such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, iron, manganese, zinc, chromium, nickel, selenium, cadmium, and mercury were analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
