Abstract

In this study conducted in 8 cities in the Black Sea Region of Turkey, mineral substance and heavy metal concentrations detected in the muscle tissues of 7 species of economically important fish were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Correlations between fish weight and concentrations were determined by Pearson Correlation Analysis at p<0.05 and p<0.01 levels, and statistically significant relationships were determined and compared with the results of previous studies. In general, in the correlation analyses carried out without considering the species and stations, the heavy metal load of the fish was evaluated in terms of the relationship between the absorption data and the biological weight of the fish. The heavy metal concentrations showed a positive and significant correlation between fish weight and K, Mg, P, Cu, Se (p<0.01); a negative and significant correlation between fish weight and Ca, Na, Al, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, Si, Zn (p<0.01); a negative and significant correlation between fish weight and As. It was determined that both the positive correlation between weight and Hg and the negative correlation between weight and Fe were insignificant (p>0.05).

Türkiye’nin Karadeniz Kıyılarında Ekonomik Öneme Sahip Bazı Balık Türleri için Balık Ağırlığı ile Ağır Metal Konsantrasyonları Arasındaki Korelasyonların Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Türkiye’nin Karadeniz Bölgesi’nde 8 İl’de yürütülen bu çalışmada, ekonomik önemi olan 7 tür balığın kas dokularında tespit edilen mineral madde ve ağır metal derişimleri indüktif eşleşmiş plazma kütle spektrometresi (ICP-MS) ile ölçülmüştür. Balık ağırlığı ile konsantrasyonlar arasındaki korelasyonlar Pearson Korelasyon Analizi ile p<0.05 ve p<0.01 düzeylerinde, istatistiki olarak anlamlı ilişkiler belirlenerek, daha önce yapılan çalışmaların sonuçlarıyla karşılaştırılmıştır. Genel olarak tür ve istasyonlar dikkate alınmadan yapılan korelasyon analizlerinde balığın ağır metal yükü, absorbsiyon verileri ile balığın biyolojik ağırlığı arasındaki ilişki değerlendirilmiştir. Balık ağırlığı ile K, Mg, P, Cu, Se pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı (p<0.01); Ca, Na, Al, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Mn, Ni, Pb, Si, Zn negatif yönlü ve anlamlı (p<0.01); ve balık ağırlığı-As arasında ise negatif yönlü ve anlamlı (p<0.05) korelasyonlar bulunmuştur. Ağırlık ile Hg arasında pozitif; Fe arasında ise negatif yönlü olan korelasyonun önemsiz olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p>0.05).
