Essential and Non-Essential Metal Concentrations in Shrimps from Iskenderun Bay, Türkiye

Abstract

Contamination of the aquatic environment and living things with pollutants is increasing daily. Among these pollutants, heavy metals come to the forefront regarding toxicological and public health due to their widespread use, toxicity, and resistance to degradation, as well as accumulation and biomagnification in the food chain. The study aimed to determine the essential (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn) and non-essential (As, Al, Cd, Pb) metal concentrations by ICP-OES of Metapenaeus monoceros, Penaeus japonicus, Penaeus semisulcatus (n=30) caught from the Northeastern Mediterranean, Iskenderun Bay. The concentration of Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb were under LOD. The concentration (ppm) ranges were Al: 0.73-38.89, As: 2.18-9.68, Cu: 28.96-69.01, Fe: 7.85-241.36, Mn: 0.44-1.28, and Zn: 51.71-108.51 for all species. Except for the As concentrations, the differences between mean concentrations of metals in shrimp species were not statistically significant. When the results of the study are compared with the findings of other studies on shrimps caught from the Iskenderun Bay, it shows that Cd, Cr, Ni, and Pb contamination levels decreased, while Cu, Fe, and Zn contamination levels increased.

Türkiye İskenderun Körfezi, Karideslerinde Esansiyel ve Non-Esansiyel Metal Konsantrasyonları

Abstract

Akuatik ortam ve canlıların kirleticilerle kontaminasyonu gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Bu kirleticiler arasında ağır metaller yaygın kullanım, toksisite ve bozunmaya karşı dayanıklılığı yanında besin zincirinde birikim ve biyomagnifikasyonu nedeniyle toksikolojik ve halk sağlığı açısından ön plana çıkmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı Kuzeydoğu Akdeniz, İskenderun Körfezi’nden avlanan Metapenaeus monoceros, Penaeus japonicus, Penaeus semisulcatus karideslerinde (n=30) esansiyel (Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn) ve non-esansiyel (As, Al, Cd, Pb) metal konsantrasyonlarının ICP-OES ile belirlenmesiydi. Cd, Cr, Ni ve Pb konsantrasyonu LOD’un altında tespit edilmiştir. Tüm türler için konsantrasyon (ppm) aralıkları Al: 0.73-38.89, As: 2.18-9.68, Cu: 28.96-69.01, Fe: 7.85-241.36, Mn: 0.44-1.28 ve Zn: 51.71-108.51 olarak tespit edildi. As konsantrasyonları dışında, karides türlerinde ortalama metal konsantrasyonları arasındaki farklar istatistiksel olarak önemsizdi. Çalışmanın sonuçları İskenderun Körfezi'nden avlanan karidesler üzerinde yapılan diğer çalışmaların bulguları ile karşılaştırıldığında, Cd, Cr, Ni ve Pb kontaminasyon düzeylerinin azaldığını, Cu, Fe ve Zn kontaminasyon düzeylerinin ise arttığını göstermektedir.
