Abstract: 
Vimba bream (Vimba vimba) individuals were collected from the Danube River near Belgrade, from May 2016 to May 2017. Samples of muscle and liver tissue were analyzed for concentrations of 25 elements (macro-, micro-, and toxic elements) using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). For both tissues, the highest concentrations of most elements were observed in late spring/early summer (months of May and June). Majority of statistically significant correlations between elements were positive in both tissues. Contributions of Ca, K, and Mg to human diet were in a similar range. The lowest contribution of all macroelements was observed for Na, while the contribution of Se was well above the recommended dietary allowance for this element. Levels of detected elements were well below MAC values prescribed by national and international regulations. The highest value of Hg liver/muscle index (>1) was observed in August, which could indicate a higher contamination of the sampling location in that month. Se:Hg molar ratio never drops below 1, which could indicate that Hg toxicity is prevented. THQ values showed little variation thought the year and were well below the threshold of 1, with the exception of THQ for Al in May (0.92). This element also strongly affects the hazard index.
