Fish are accurate and suitable bioindicators and biomonitors for marine water pollution analyses. Depending on the diet type, the harmful and dangerous substances are accumulated in their bodies in the larger quantities than in the water column, which directly affects human health. Lead is a toxic metal whose widespread use has caused extensive environmental contamination and health problems in many parts of the world, especially in developing countries. The aim of this research was to obtain the data on lead contamination in fish and seawater samples from coastal region of Bar harbour. The highest lead concentrations have been found in muscles of T. mediterraneus and M. cephalus. The lead concentrations in water samples have varied depending on season and locality.
