Natural and anthropogenic factors play an important role in determining resultant trace metals concentrations in the region. We place particular emphasis on the saline lakes of Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero, which have restricted flows of seawater. In Malo Jezero lake, fresh karstic spring water generated by flooding, and weathering of dolomites are the main source of naturally elevated Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations (20.71.6, 28919, 12600.08 ng L-1, respectively); anthropogenic input is negligible. In Veliko Jezero lake enhanced Cu and Zn contents originate from anthropogenic input (tourism and agriculture). Distributions of the Pb and Zn in the water columns of both lakes are influenced by natural aragonite precipitation and sedimentation. Exceptionally high total Hg concentrations of 24.2 and 33.7 ng L-1 in the water column of Malo Jezero, sampled during periods of high rainfall associated with strong eastern winds, suggest an airborne input. Total Hg concentrations in waters of both lakes are elevated because of inefficient mixing. Two different metal distribution patterns exist in the sediment columns. First, Hg, Pb, Cu and Zn show elevated concentrations in recent sediments due to anthropogenic input. Second, Cd content increases with depth due to reprecipitation via a downward redox boundary shift. Described natural processes, as well as anthropogenic influence, enhance levels of trace metals. Careful study followed by suitable interpretation based on geochemical data, were necessary to distinguish natural from anthropogenic sources. Keywords: Trace Metals; Saline Lakes; Karstic Spring; Aragonite; Dolomite Introduction Protected natural areas, particularly national parks, are very sensitive ecosystems, and their substantial uniqueness should be preserved in its original form. Elevated trace metals concentrations (e.g. Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn) in these systems are often considered indicators of anthropogenic influence and are themselves of potential risk to the natural environment. Therefore, it is important to assess and track the abundance of these trace metals. It is well known that the metals bioavailability and toxicity strongly depend on their speciation, either in water column or sediment. Methodical surveys are required to establish and distinguish whether elevated trace metals concentrations in these regions are the result of natural causes or are from anthropogenic source. Distribution of these trace metals in the Mljet NP aquatorium has not been investigated, so far.  HYPERLINK "http://www.np-mljet.hr/about%20national%20park.html" \l "#" Mljet NP is situated on the Southern-Adriatic Island of Mljet, Croatia. The island is ~37 km long and ~3 km wide, with an area of about 100 km2. The northernmost one third of the island was proclaimed as a national park in 1960. Within Mljet NP there are two saline inlets (lakes): Veliko Jezero and Malo Jezero. The depressions in which the two marine lakes are located are typically karstic dolinas developed in Mesozoic limestones and dolomites (Govor in et al., 2001). The formation of these dolinas occurred while they were preserved above the sea level (Durbeai et al., 1995). These lakes originated ~10,000 years ago and up until ~4000 years ago existed as freshwater lakes. In the last 4,000 years periodic to continuous marine seawater influence has shaped the present Veliko Jezero water composition. Malo Jezero is connected to the main body of the Adriatic Sea by Veliko Jezero and so it is likely that Malo Jezero witnessed influx of marine water much later than Veliko Jezero, some 2,000 years ago (Wunsam et al., 1999). The lakes are semi-enclosed, connected to the open sea by a narrow, shallow channel. Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero are in many respects unique because of the concomitant aragonite precipitation occurring in both lakes (Jura i et al., 1998). Trace metals are important elements in environmental biogeochemistry. These elements can occur at relatively high concentrations in nature, but are often elevated due to human activities. Indeed the natural distribution of these elements is important, e.g., Cu and Zn are essential micronutrients in all aqueous habitats (Simkiss and Taylor, 1989). Anthropogenic activities, e.g., agriculture or tourism, significantly alter biogeochemical cycles of trace metals and enhance their bioavailability (Garrels et al. 1975). Elevated concentrations of certain trace metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb, Se, etc.) may be extremely toxic, and harm biota (Radix et al., 2000). Contamination entering in the aquatic ecosystem also jeopardizes the human food chain. For example, the main sources of mercury are natural, including outgassing at volcanoes, evaporation from superficial soils, together with anthropogenic production from burning of fossil fuels and from waste combustion. Elemental mercury is relatively inert to chemical reactions with other atmospheric constituents. This gives elemental mercury an atmospheric residence time of approximately one year. A particularly concerning feature of Hg is that it is mainly transported by air, and thus heavily depending on wind directions (Schroeder and Munthe, 1998). A fundamental aspect of trace metals is their lack of biodegradability. Once introduced into the aquatic environment, trace metals are redistributed throughout the water column, deposited or accumulated in sediments and consumed by biota (Fichet et al., 1998; Long et al., 1996). Spatial distribution of the trace metals is critical for differentiating natural concentrations from anthropogenically introduction (Galloway, 1979; Frstner and Wittmann, 1981; Saudo-Wilhelmy, 1991; Long et al., 1996; Hatje et al., 2001; Korfali and Davies, 2003). Natural aquatic systems with usually low trace metals concentrations are highly sensitive to anthropogenic inputs. Their levels in various aquatic regimes also depend on sediments and surrounding soil, so thorough monitoring is extremely important (Branica et al., 1985). Understanding transfer and distribution of toxicants between the sediment and water columns is of great importance (Ouyang et al., 2006; Frstner and Wittmann, 1981). Vertical trace metals distributions in sediments can be considerably changed due to the influence of diagenetic processes (Gobeil et al., 1997; Morford and Emerson, 1999). Trace metal concentrations profiles in sediments can identify the history and sources of pollution. However, bioturbation, redeposition, erosion and other sediment processes may disturb the sedimentary record, leading to erroneous conclusions. In general, sources of major and minor elements in aquatic sediments are a combination of natural weathering, run-off and riverine and atmospheric input, affected by anthropogenic impact (Martin i et al, 1989; Kersten and Frstner, 1990). Here, we present data on trace metals distributions in water and sediment of the Mljet NP in the period from year 2005 to 2008, with particular emphasis on Veliko Jezero and Malo Jezero. 2. Study Area The study area is within the aquatorium of Mljet NP. Pola e and Pomena (sampling sites M1 and M2, respectively) are small ports on the northwest coast of Mljet NP with 120 and 50 permanent inhabitants, respectively. Except for some modest agriculture and fishery activities, nautical tourism is most important, especially from April to October when population increases to several thousand people. Average seawater depth in both ports is about 15 m. Ports are oriented towards open sea implying good mixing of water masses. The Veliko Jezero and Malo Jezero lakes make up the main water bodies in Mljet NP: Malo Jezero (site M3) has an area of ~0.24 km2 and a maximum depth of 29 m; Veliko Jezero has an area of ~1.45 km2 and a maximum depth of 46 m. A karstic spring (site M4) on the south bank of Malo Jezero is located below the water surface and periodically effluxes freshwater (Fig. 1). Also, echographs indicate other freshwater incursions by subaquatic karstic springs into the Malo Jezero (Wunsam et al., 1999). The connection of Malo Jezero to Veliko Jezero is via narrow Channel (site M5), which is up to 1 m deep. Veliko Jezero (sampling site M6) consists of three basins (Fig. 1). Near the north coast of Veliko Jezero is a rural settlement Babine Kue (sampling site M7), while on its south bank is a small island of Sveta Marija (site M8), which hosts a medieval church and restaurant. Their waste waters are discharged into the lake without treatment. Veliko Jezero is connected to the Adriatic Sea by the shallow (2.5 m deep) Soline Channel (site M9; Fig. 1). Tidal currents flow through both channels. To the south of Mljet NP is a reference sampling site, REF (Fig. 1), positioned in the open sea. 3. Methods and Instrumentation Water samples for Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn determination were collected using a clean sampling technique (Horowitz, 1997), in pre-cleaned high-density polyethylene bottles (HDPE) (1 L), using conventional SCUBA diving techniques (Kniewald et al. 1987). For Hg measurements, water samples were collected in pre-cleaned SIMAX Sklrny Kavalier borosilicate glass reagent bottles (Szava, Czech Republic, 1L). Divers faced the current direction, opening and closing the sampling bottle with outstretched hands during sampling. Sampling site locations (Fig. 1) were determined by GPS instrument (Garmin GPSMap 72, Kansas City, USA) with an accuracy of 5 m, while sampling depths were determined using a Uwatec Aladin Pro dive computer (Henggart, Switzerland) with a depth accuracy of 5 cm. pH and redox potential (ER) were measured by the MP120 instrument, while dissolved oxygen concentrations by oxymeter MO128, both from Mettler Toledo (Schwerzenbach, Switzerland). Salinity was measured by refractometer (S-10E Atago, Tokyo, Japan) using the Practical Salinity Scale and water temperature by oceanographic thermometer, both in situ. Sediment samples were collected by scuba divers using hand-driven acrylic corers. Sediment samples were taken at five sites for trace metals analysis. Surface sediment samples (0 - 5 cm) were taken at M3, M6, M8 and M9, while the sediment column at M7 was cut in 3 slices of 5 cm each. The sediment column (0 - 22 cm) at M3 was used for pH and ER measurements. 0.063 mm standard Retsch sieves (Haan, Germany) for sediment sieving were used. Samples were wet sieved with ambiental water taken just above the sediment, in order to minimize any possible change in metals concentrations. Sediment fractions <0.063 mm were analyzed. Sediment samples were dried at room temperature until constant weight and stored in polyethylene bags. Dried samples were digested using a mixture of concentrated Suprapur perchloric (1 ml) and nitric acids (10 ml) in combination with hydrofluoric acid (5-10 ml) (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), in closed teflon crucibles (35 ml volume) on a hotplate at a temperature of ~ 180C (Martin i et al., 1989, 1990). Total Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations were measured in unfiltered water samples. Total dissolved fractions (in further text - dissolved) were determined after filtration under nitrogen pressure, through 0.45 m cellulose nitrate membrane filters (Sartorius, Gttingen, Germany,). Prior to analysis, unfiltered and filtered water samples for determination of Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn were acidified with Suprapur nitric acid to a pH < 2 and UV irradiated for 24 hours (150 W mercury lamp, Hanau, Germany). Cu, Cd, Pb and Zn concentration measurements were performed by the ECO Chemie AUTOLAB multimode potentiostat (Utrecht, The Netherlands) connected with a three-electrode system Metrohm 663 VA STAND (Herissau, Switzerland). The electrochemical method used (Branica, 1990; Bard and Faulkner, 2001) was differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV). Limit of quantification, LOQ, obtained in acidic Milli-Q (Millipore, Billerica, USA) water were 1, 2, 5 and 10 ng L-1 for Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in water samples, respectively, based on a standard addition method and 10 rule (for 10 min accumulation time), and 0.01 g g-1 for solids. Total Hg was measured by cold vapour atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS) using Elemental Mercury Detector 3200 (Thermo Separation Products, USA), with detection limit of 0.005 ng L-1 for seawater, and 0.001 g g-1 for solid materials (Kwokal and Branica, 2000). Accuracy of the applied voltammetric method was verified by Open Ocean Seawater Reference Material for Trace Metals (NASS-5), of National Research Council Canada for seawater. Quality control for metals in sediment was performed by Standard Reference Material NIST 2702 for metals in marine sediment (National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA). All measured metal concentrations were within 10 % of certified values. 4. Results and Discussion 4.1. Water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and salinity Particular emphasis was made on interpreting variations in water chemistry within Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero. Spatial and temporal variations of water temperature in the aquatorium of Mljet NP were measured. The data for both lakes show typical seasonal variability, reflected by air temperature changes and the lakes small dimensions. The highest surface water temperature of 27 C was recorded in Malo Jezero (July 2005); these values are consistent with data from previous years (Buljan and `pan, 1976; Jura i et al., 1998). Overall changes in water column temperature during the warmer seasons are also evident. Namely, the thermocline in Veliko Jezero deepened from 10 m with a temperature of 20 C (June 2006) to below 14 m in September (24 C). In January of 2008 the Veliko Jezero water column temperatures were uniform (about 11 C). Fluctuations in water temperatures at Malo Jezero are more rapid in comparison with Veliko Jezero, likely due to its smaller water volume. In June 2006, the thermocline in Malo Jezero started at 6 m (21.5 C), whereas it was at 10 m during September (24 C). In January 2008, temperatures in Malo Jezero were between 9.2 - 10.5 C, due to faster cooling. Total dissolved oxygen distributions in both Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero were determined. During the sampling period from March 2005 to January 2008, hypoxic or anoxic conditions in both saline lakes were not detected, nor were they present in any of the other sampling sites. However, anoxia in waters found by Vuleti (1953) indicated periodic but not seasonal anoxic/hypoxic conditions. The lowest dissolved oxygen content of 4.5 mg L-1 was detected in Malo Jezero (September 2006) at 25 m, and the highest of 11.5 mg L-1 also in Malo Jezero (January 2008) occurred in the surface water of the lake, due to low temperatures causing higher oxygen solubility. The lowest pH values were determined in cold periods in both lakes: 8.000.01 at surface of Veliko Jezero in February 2005, and 8.020.01 at the surface of Malo Jezero in January 2008. At the reference sampling site (REF) in January 2008 the pH was 8.150.01. Highest pH values registered in surface waters were: 8.300.01 in July 2005 at M3 and 8.290.01 in late May 2007 at M6. At REF highest pH value of 8.260.01 was recorded in June 2006. Small water volume, atmospheric influence, poor water mixing, faster CO2 degassing and dissolution caused seasonal pH oscillations in both lakes. According to Buljan and pan (1976), in surface waters higher salinity was detected in Veliko Jezero, while salinity was lower for the same time period in Malo Jezero. In this study, during the entire sampling period, salinity was uniform in both lakes (38 - 39), in agreement with a more recent study by Jura i et al., (1998). Exceptionally, salinity of 36 was found at Malo Jezero surface due to several days of heavy rainfall before sampling (June 2006). In this study a halocline was not detected. 4.2. Trace metals in waters of Mljet National Park The distribution of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn and Hg total concentrations in surface waters from Mljet NP are presented in Figure 2. Results are given as arithmetic mean values with corresponding standard deviations. In general, all trace metal concentrations were lower in Mljet NP coastal surface seawater samples, i.e. Mljet NP outer sampling sites (Mljet outer): REF, M1 and M2, in comparison to the concentrations in the surface seawater of both lakes, i.e. Mljet NP inner sampling sites (Mljet inner): M3, M4, M5 in Malo Jezero and M6, M7, M8 in Veliko Jezero (Fig.1). All values were within range of those found in unpolluted Adriatic waters (Branica et al., 1985). In surface seawater Cd and Pb total concentrations mean values (Fig. 2) were highest in the most isolated water body of Malo Jezero (M3, M4, M5). The lack of anthropogenic influence around the lake likely suggests natural sourcing of these elements into the lake. The mean value of Cd total concentrations in surface waters of Malo Jezero is about 50 % higher than in Veliko Jezero (~ 15 and ~ 10 ng L-1, respectively). In surface waters of Malo Jezero and Veliko Jezero 62.828.0 and 45.214.6 ng L-1 of total Pb were determined, respectively (Fig. 2). Results obtained for the M6, M7 and M8 sampling sites at Veliko Jezero provide evidence of tourist and agriculture activities in Babine Kue and Sv. Marija, due to waste waters discharging into the lake without pretreatment. Consequently, in May 2007, Cu and Zn total concentrations (46910 and 212455 ng L-1, respectively) were significantly higher in Veliko Jezero compared with Malo Jezero (34116 for Cu and 31722 ng L-1 for Zn, Fig. 3). The combined effects of anthropogenic and natural influences suggest an overall decrease in Cd and Pb as follows: Malo Jezero > Mljet inner > Veliko Jezero >Mljet outer. By contrast, concentrations of Cu, Zn and Hg, which appear more greatly influenced by anthropogenic factors, follow a trend of: Veliko Jezero > Mljet inner > Malo Jezero > Mljet outer. Figure 3 presents total concentrations of trace metals in surface waters during the entire sampling period from July 2005 to January 2008. Cadmium concentrations (around 20 ng L-1) in M3 surface water sample (Malo Jezero) were higher up to a factor about 2 (Fig. 3) in comparison to M6 (around 11 ng L-1, Veliko Jezero), and higher up to a factor 3 than at REF, M1 and M2 (~ 7.5 ng L-1). The largest seasonal fluctuations of Cd occurred at M3, while of Pb at M1, M2, M3 and M8. The REF sample site showed the least fluctuation for trace metals concentrations of all sample sites throughout the entire period of study (Fig. 3). Mljet Island (including Mljet NP) is covered with limestone and dolomite minerals (Durbeai et al., 1995; Govor in et al., 2001). Sediments in Mljet NP waters include carbonate minerals (calcite, aragonite, Mg-calcite and dolomite) (Jura i et al., 1998; Wunsam et al., 1999; Govor in et al., 2001). It has been demonstrated that dolomitic rocks can contain elevated concentrations of Zn, Pb and especially Cd (Martinez et al., 2002; McBride et al., 2005). Mineral leaching of such lithologies is likely responsible for the increased Cd, Pb and Zn concentrations in Malo Jezero. Significant contributions of Cd, Pb and Zn in Malo Jezero are likely to have originated from the subaqueous karstic spring (M4, Fig. 1) that occasionally replenished by flood and rainfalls. Due to heavy rainfall in May 2006 that preceded sampling, concentrations of Cd, Pb and Zn (total and dissolved) at M4 in June were significantly higher in comparison to related seasonal concentrations at all other sites (Fig. 3). Karstic spring fresh water mixing with salt water of Malo Jezero decreased surface water salinity at M4 from 39 to 35. The Cd input from the karstic spring (M4) to Malo Jezero is presented in Fig. 3. After several days of heavy rains in June 2006 and May 2007, the total Cd concentrations were 20.71.6 ng L-1 (M4) and 22.01.3 ng L-1 (M3), respectively, compared with the mean value of 14.83.3 ng L-1 (Cd; Fig. 2), implying that the major Cd input is from karstic spring water and dolomite weathering. Cd has a weak adsorption affinity onto particles (Bilinski et al., 1991; Cuculi and Branica, 1996). At M4, its total vs. dissolved (20.71.6 and 18.71.4 ng L-1, respectively) concentration ratio was practically 1 (Table 1), as is the case for all sampling sites, implying that the Cd content is almost completely in the dissolved fraction, as it was case for copper (Table 1). Zinc showed similar ratio of total and dissolved concentrations at M4, 1.260.08 and 1.100.05 g L-1, respectively. Presumably, Zn input into Malo Jezero from the karstic spring was mainly in a dissolved form, followed by its gradual adsorption onto particles in the water column. Unlike Cd, at REF, M3 and M6 sampling sites Zn total vs. dissolved concentration ratios in surface waters were higher (Table 1), therefore Zn exists to some extent in the particulate form. The total and dissolved Pb fraction in surface water at M4 (karstic spring) was different compared with all the other studied sites. Exceptionally high Pb ratio of total and dissolved forms (28919 and 55.24.4 ng L-1, respectively) was 5.2 at M4 in contrast to between 1 and 3 at all other sites (Table 1). Pb has a strong adsorption affinity for natural particles (Bilinski et al., 1991). Karstic spring and soil weathering leached out particulate Pb, together with 20 % of the dissolved fraction. In January 2008, the highest Pb total vs. dissolved concentration ratio of 6.4 (Table 1) was found in surface waters at M6 sampling site which was result of an anthropogenic input. Cu and Hg concentrations measured at M4 did not show any significant difference from results found at all other sampling locations (Fig. 3), indicating lack of Cu and Hg in karstic spring and soil weathering input. The Hg variance and distribution with time differs from all other studied trace metals. In the water samples taken during intensive rainfall and strong easterly winds (March 2006), 24.2 and 33.7 ng L-1 of total Hg was detected in the water column at M3 (in Malo Jezero). This is more than 10 times higher than average Hg concentration for other periods (Figs. 2, 3), and about 50 times higher than total Hg in May 2007 in surface waters at REF (0.5 ng L-1; Table 1). At M3, Hg water column distribution (Fig. 4) showed extreme values (March 2006) when samples were taken during intensive rainfall, with Hg contents by a factor of 3 greater than for the low rainfall month of June 2006. In sum, sampling in dry periods did not reveal elevated Hg total concentrations. Hg average total concentrations in waters of both lakes (Mljet inner; just below 2 ng L-1) were elevated in comparison to surface waters at Mljet outer (about 1.5 ng L-1) (Fig. 2), and to coastal surface waters of Central Eastern Adriatic (0.6 - 0.7 ng L-1; Kwokal and Branica, 2000). The isolated character of the Mljet lakes, their poor mixing with open sea and input by rain are the reason for these concentration variations. It is important to observe that even such remote (20 km from nearest land), isolated natural aquatic systems, without considerable anthropogenic activities, could be periodically affected by high concentrations of toxic elements, such as Hg transported by air. Natural processes of aragonite precipitation and subsequent sedimentation are a defining characteristic of Mljet NP lakes, occurring in late spring and early summer. During spring and summer sampling in water columns of both lakes bulky,  white clouds were observed. This phenomenon is ascribed to aragonite crystal floculation (Jura i et al., 1998). Summer heating of both lakes surface waters induces conditions for aragonite precipitation (Sondi et al., 1995; Jura i et al., 1998). Phytoplankton blooms occur in lakes during the same season and contributes to aragonite precipitation with intensive photosynthetic activity acting to decrease total dissolved CO2 concentrations (Jura i et al., 1998). Furthermore, precipitation of aragonite and Mg-calcite in Mljet lakes is caused by physical and chemical changes (i.e. Mg/Ca-ratios, alkalinity and salinity) or by water masses of different temperatures mixing (Wunsam et al., 1999). Water exchange with open sea occurs only at the surface through very shallow and narrow straits, making saline lakes buffered to extreme environmental shifts (Seibold and Berger, 1982). For example, temperature gradients in May and June decreased in both lakes for 12 - 15 oC in only 30 meters. Aragonite precipitation affects fluctuation and distribution of Pb and to a lesser degree, Zn throughout the water columns in both lakes, especially in Malo Jezero. In March and June 2006, the highest Pb total concentrations were in the middle and bottom of the water column at M3 (above 200 ng L-1 in March and above 300 ng L-1 in June 2006), and about 200 ng L-1 at M6 (Fig. 4). Taking into account aragonite precipitation and sedimentation in late spring and early summer, as well as the strong ability of Pb adsorption onto particles, it can be assumed that Pb is effectively co-precipitated. In July 2005, bottom water layers of both lakes contained the highest Pb total concentrations (almost 700 ng L-1), suggesting termination of these processes. More than 50 % of total Pb (up to 80 %) was in particulate fraction, presumably adsorbed onto aragonite particles, while other metals were mostly dissolved (Fig. 5; Table 1). At M6, Pb total concentrations in water column were about 30 % lower in June 2006 than at M3 during the same time period indicating that aragonite precipitation ended earlier in Veliko Jezero, because it is more exposed to the open sea. Cd and Cu contents showed uniform behaviour throughout the water columns. Cd, Cu and Zn were mainly present in dissolved form, throughout all sampling sites (Fig. 5; Table 1). However, differences between total and dissolved Zn were pronounced in the middle and bottom water layers of Malo Jezero due to karstic spring input and Zn adsorption onto aragonite particles, although not as much as Pb (Figs. 4 and 5; Table 1). In May 2007, high Zn total vs. dissolved concentration ratio (about 6) in surface waters at M6 (Fig. 5; Table 1) was result of an anthropogenic input in Veliko Jezero. Taking into account all natural and anthropogenic factors present in Mljet inner sampling sites, variation of Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn total concentrations were explained. REF sampling site was not affected by these factors, therefore, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn concentration variations were much smaller, except Hg which varied more, merely due to rain and wind influence. 4.3. Trace metals in sediments of Mljet National Park Sediments in the aquatorium of the Mljet NP have been investigated in details (Vuleti, 1953; Sondi et al., 1995; Jura i et al., 1995, 1998; Wunsam et al., 1999; Govor in et al., 2001). Jura i et al. (1995) established that fine-grained muddy sediments prevailed in both saline lakes. More than 95% of recent sediment from Malo Jezero consisted of clay and silt granulation size (< 63 m) and in Veliko Jezero more than 80 %. Mean values of metal concentrations in recent sediments (0 - 5 cm) are presented in Table 2. Values are within the range characteristic for Croatian Adriatic coastal sediments (Martin i et al., 1989 and 1990). Pb, Cu and Zn metal concentrations were highest in recent sediments in front of the Babine Kue (M7), due to anthropogenic input (Table 2). Elevated Cu and Zn concentrations in M6 recent sediment also imply anthropogenic input. The highest Pb concentration from the sediment column at M7 (Table 3) are a consequence of untreated waste waters discharge as a major source of metal input to Veliko Jezero. Pb showed the largest increase through the column, most likely due to leaded fuel use. Cd content in surface sediment is the highest at M6 site (0.300.03 g g-1) and it was about twice as high as other studied recent sediments. Two patterns of trace metals concentrations in sediment were recognized (Table 3). Firstly, Pb, Cu, Zn and Hg contents show elevated concentrations in recent sediments, suggesting anthropogenic influence and secondly, Cd showed the opposite behaviour. The Cd concentration increases with sediment column depth from 0.170.01 g g-1 in recent sediment to 0.210.01 g g-1 at 10 - 15 cm. In seawater and sediment, Cd is present as Cd(II). It accumulates in sediments by adsorption to freshly precipitated Fe oxides, or by precipitation as insoluble sulfide (Morford and Emerson, 1999). Enhancement of Cd in solid phase, co-occur with sulfides in anoxic environments (Gobeil et al., 1997). Anoxia in Mljet lake sediments appeared at 0.5 cm below the sediment surface (Jura i et al., 1995, 1998). Furthermore, Fig. 6 shows increasing of negative redox potentials with sediment depth, altered from -121 mV at 1 cm to -370 mV at 22 cm. Gobeil et al. (1997) explained that redox boundary moves downward, ER became more negative, so Cd dissolved above it, diffused downward, and reprecipitated. In this way, Cd is moved to deeper layers of the sediment, which is in agreement with our results. 5. Conclusions Spatial and temporal distributions of Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn trace metals in seawater and sediment of the Mljet National Park from year 2005 to 2008, were studied. Distributions indicated sources and sinks of these metals in seawater and sediments of the Mljet NP. In Veliko Jezero, anthropogenic influences enhanced Cu and Zn concentrations. In Malo Jezero anthropogenic influence was negligible, so the main input of Cd, Pb and Zn was of natural origin (karstic spring and weathering of dolomite rocks). Aragonite precipitation and sedimentation controlled fluctuation of Pb, and to a lesser degree, Zn in both lakes. Hg concentrations are slightly elevated in comparison to previously found in the Croatian coastal Adriatic, due to poor water mixing and the isolated character of Mljet Island. Exceptionally high Hg total concentrations were found in the water column of Malo Jezero sampled during heavy rainfall associated with a strong easterly wind, suggesting that air transport is the main Hg source. As a consequence of natural and anthropogenic factors, Cd and Pb total concentrations in surface waters varied as follows: Malo Jezero > Mljet inner > Veliko Jezero >Mljet outer. Total concentrations of Cu, Zn and Hg in surface waters varied with Veliko Jezero > Mljet inner > Malo Jezero > Mljet outer. Concentrations of investigated trace metals in sediments were within the range found earlier in Croatian Adriatic coast. Highest trace metals concentrations were found in recent sediments of Veliko Jezero. Metal contents in sediment column showed two different patterns: Hg, Pb, Cu and Zn show elevated concentrations in recent sediments due to anthropogenic influence, while Cd concentration increased with depth, which is explained by its reprecipitation due to the shift of redox boundary downwards. Mljet NP is a unique environment because of its isolated character, reduced mixing of saline lakes with open sea and unique natural processes, such as aragonite precipitation under specific physical and chemical conditions, and weathering of dolomite minerals. Taking into account these processes, we identified elevated trace metals levels of natural and anthropogenic origin.
