Aim of the study: The objectives of this study are to observe the monthly and annual changes in water samples using physical-chemical methods in order to determine the water quality properties, to reveal pollution problems, to determine the suitability of water quality for aquatic life and to classify the quality of water in accordance with the Surface Water Quality Management Regulation's Inland Surface Water Classes criteria. Area of the study: Lake Tecer is located in the southeastern area of Sivas city and at the end of Brook Tecer, a branch of the Kizilirmak. The lake has a mean depth of 2.4 m and is fed by surface waters and snowmelt. Material and methods: The study period was from March 2011 to February 2012. Samples analysed for several chemical and physical parameters representing water quality were collected monthly over a period of 12 months. Main results: It was observed that the condition of the lake in terms of water quality is good. According to the Classification of the Intra-Continental Water Resources in the WPCR, the lake shows Class I, II and III water quality characteristics. Research highlights: In order to protect the water quality of this water source, to reduce further pollution and to sustain the natural ecological balance consisting of natural fish stocks and other aquatic animals, this lake should be monitored continuously.

One of the pollutants leading to heavy metal pollution is the lead element. The studies on exposure of fish to lead have shown that this exposure leads to negative effects on body weight, and digestive enzymes and lipase. In humans, the symptoms of chronic lead toxicity are renal malfunction, anemia, brain and liver damage, cancer, hyperactivity, and general psychological impairment. For struggling with this heavy metal contamination, we have a useful tool named Zeolite. Zeolites are used in many fields such as agriculture, metal industry, energy sector, manufacturing industry, water treatment, animal husbandry, struggling with environmental pollution, and etc. In this study, we utilized the biochemical parameters of carp fish (Cyprinus carpio) in order to reveal the effects of zeolite on fish health and production. The experiments were performed within 100 L glass aquariums with 85x40x30 dimensions. The study was planned for 3 different durations as 35 days, 90 days, and 120 days. The subjects were divided into 4 groups for each of experiment durations. The groups were named Pb(NO3)(2) group, Pb(NO3)(2) + Zeolite group, Zeolite group, and control group. At the end of each of the experiment period (on 35(th), 90(th), and 120(th) days), the fish in groups were weighed, and the average growth rates of each of the groups were calculated. The parameters used in blood analyses are glucose (GLU), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLB), creatinine (CR), total bilirubin (TBIL), uric acid ([JA), and direct bilirubin (DBlL).
