The study presents the first data on the accumulation circulation of Al, Ba and Cd in the samples of skin, muscles and liver of the European perch (Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758), its dominant parasite species Eustrongylides excises Jägerskiöld, 1909 larvae, water and sediments from the freshwater ecosystem of the anthropogenically affected protected area Mandra-Poda, Black Sea Basin, Bulgaria. The potential of European perch and E. Excises for bioaccumulation towards the studied elements has been studied. The bioindicator significance of P. fluviatilis and E. Excises for assessing the pollution of the freshwater ecosystem with Al, Ba, and Cd has been revealed. The risk to human health and living organisms has been evaluated. Measures for the protection of the ecosystem have been indicated.
