The fish organs and water was collected from three sampling sites of Lakes Chamo and Abaya. A procedure consuming 12 mL mixture of HNO 3 -H 2 O 2 for gill, kidney, liver and 1:2.5 mL mixture of HNO 3 -HCl for water samples for digestion of was developed. Concentrations of six metals in water and their accumulation in the edible tissue of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Barbus (Labeobarbus intermedius) fish species were determined using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The results revealed that the average heavy metal concentrations in water samples were; Zn 0.017, Cu 0.077, Fe 7.50, Cr 0.033, Cd 0.264 and Pb 1.731 mg/L respectivelty. The highest concentrations of iron (Fe) and lead (Pb) were observed at Chamo Park and Sile sites, respectively. The average contents of heavy metals in fish samples were; Zn 0.062, Cu 0.047, Fe 2.270, Cr 0.041, Cd 0.045 and Pb1.78 mg/Kg in both fish species. The highest accumulations of iron (Fe) and lead (Pb) concentration were observed in liver and gill of Tilapia fish from Chamo Lake. There was no significant difference between the two lakes in accumulating trace metals. Keywords : Fish variety, Heavy metals, Lakes, ANOVA
