<abstract xmlns="http://eprints.org/ep2/data/2.0">The influence of heavy metals (copper, 7inc) on the concentration of calcium,&#13;
phosphorus and magnesium in the tissues (vertebra, gills, muscles and eye) of fish was&#13;
studied. The investigation has revealed that concentrations of these elements before and&#13;
after experiment are different. Due to the influence of heavy metals the level of calcium&#13;
decreased by 5 and 11.5 times, in gills and muscles respectively. and increased 2 times in&#13;
eyes. The concentration of magnesium decreased by 4.25 times in vertebra and by 2 times in&#13;
eye, and increased in gills by 2 times. The level of phosphorus varies less than of the rest&#13;
two elements.</abstract>
