Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the contamination of some toxic metals (Pb, Cd, Hg and As) in muscle tissue of Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) from four different localities (Veliko Blato, Grabovac, Mokri Sebeš and Bečmen) near Belgrade. Generally, the highest average content of lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic was found in fish muscle tissue from lake Veliko Blato. Concentrations of Pb, Hg and As were under the maximum residual levels prescribed by the European Union (EU) and the maximum allowed concentrations (MAC) for Serbia. In all investigated samples, levels of Cd exceeded MAC values. Data on the finding of toxic metals in fish at the same time speak about the safety of fish as food and can be an indicator of environmental pollution.
