AB  - The concentration of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) in the raft cultivated Mediterranean mussel <I>Mytilus galloprovincialis </I>from the Sinop Peninsula, in the Black Sea were investigated seasonally. The mean concentrations of Cd, Cu and Zn in the soft tissues were 2.53±0.19, 6.98±0.31 and 228.00±16.75 µg g <SUP>1</SUP> dry weights (dw), respectively. There were no significant differences between the metal concentrations among the seasons (p&gt;0.05). Cd and Zn levels were higher than legislative limits, while Cu level was below. The Cd and Zn concentrations in cultivated area were danger to human health or human consumption.
