Abstract

Heavy metals concentrated in waters can also accumulate in sediments and various biota. This research was conducted to examine the concentration of heavy metals in seawater, sediment, intestine and meat of golden sea cucumber Stichopus herrmanni in Kayeli bay, Buru Island, Indonesia. The concentrations of heavy metals Hg, Au, and Fe were analyzed using the AAS, and the tissue damage of S. herrmanni used the HE staining method. Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression were used to examine the correlation and the effect of the independent variables (heavy metals Hg, Au, and Fe) partially on the dependent variable (damage on intestinal villi of S. herrmanni) with a statistically significant at α= 0.05. The results showed that the highest to lowest heavy metal concentrations in water was Hg>Fe>Au, while the concentration of heavy metals in water, intestine and meat was of sea cucumber was Fe>Hg>Au. There was a correlation between heavy metals in sediments, intestines, and meat which caused damage to intestinal villi, while the multiple linear regression tests showed a probability of 0.012<0.05 for Fe, a probability of 0.000< for Hg, while probability >0.05 for Au on the damage of intestinal villi of S. herrmanni. This shows that Fe has a significant potential to cause damage to the intestinal villi of S. herrmanni. Fe is highly concentrated in sediments, intestines and meat showed a positive correlation to the damage of intestinal villi of S. herrmanni.

Abstract

Bu araştırma, Endonezya'nın Buru Adası, Kayeli koyunda deniz suyu, sediment ile Stichopus herrmanni (deniz salatalığı) bağırsak ve kaslarında ağır metallerin konsantrasyonunu incelemek için yapıldı. Hg, Au ve Fe konsantrasyonları AAS kullanılarak analiz edildi ve S. herrmanni'nin doku hasarı için HE boyama yöntemi kullandı. Korelasyon analizi ve çoklu lineer regresyon, bağımsız değişkenler ile (ağır metaller Hg, Au ve Fe) kısmen bağımlı değişken (S. herrmanni'nin bağırsak villusundaki hasar) üzerindeki korelasyonunu ve etkisini α = 0.05. istatistiksel önem seviyesinde incelemek için kullanıldı. Sonuçlar, sudaki en yüksek ve en düşük ağır metal konsantrasyonlarının Hg> Fe> Au olduğunu, su, bağırsak ve etteki ağır metal konsantrasyonunun ise deniz salatalıklarında Fe> Hg> Au olduğunu göstermiştir. Sediman, bağırsak ve etlerdeki ağır metaller arasında bağırsak villerine zarar veren bir korelasyon vardı, ancak çoklu lineer regresyon testleri, Fe için 0.012 <0.05, Hg için 0.000 < olasılık S. S. herrmanni'nin bağırsak villusunun hasarına dair Au için> 0.05 olasılığı göstermiştir.
Bu Fe'nin S. herrmanni'nin bağırsak villerine zarar verme potansiyeli olduğunu göstermektedir. Fe, tortular, bağırsaklar ve ette yüksek oranda konsantre edilir ve S. herrmanni'nin bağırsak villusunun hasarı ile pozitif bir korelasyon göstermiştir.
