In the present study, the heavy metal concentrations (zinc, copper, cadmium and lead) have been measured in dorsal muscle tissue of ten species (Trachurus mediterraneus, Sprattus sprattus sprattus, Mullus surmelatus, Sarda sarda, Mugil cephalus, Scorpaena porcus, Sparus aurata, Umbrina cirrosa, Spicara maena and Solea solea) from Sinop coast of the Black Sea, Turkey during fish season in 2010. Significant differences in metal concentrations were found between the species (P<0.05). In general, it was found that the levels of heavy metals studied were lower than the maximum permissible limit of the food regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), the Turkish Food Codex and Commission Regulation (EC). Cd showed the lowest concentrations in all fish samples followed by Pb. The results of the present study were compared with the other studies and discussed.Keywords: Black Sea, fishes, zinc, copper, cadmium, lead. Anahtar Kelimeler: Karadeniz, balık, çinko, bakır, kurşun, kadmiyum.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the levels of eight heavy metals (aluminium, arsenic, copper, zinc, mercury, iron, cadmium and lead) in the muscle tissue of Red mullet (Mullus barbatus), Whiting (Merlangius merlangus), Mediterranean horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) and Golden grey mullet (Liza aurata) caught from Sinop coast of the Black Sea during fishing season in 2012 and 2013. Metal analyses in fish were performed using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled PlasmaMass Spectrometer).The levels of Al, Hg, Cd, Pb and Cu in all fish species except T. mediterraneus for Cu were below the limit of detections. Mean Cu level in Mediterranean horse mackerel was 0.67 mg/kg wet wt. Highest value of Zn (24.7 mg/kg wet wt) was also found in the T. mediterraneus which were about 7-8.5 times more than the other species.L. aurata have the highest Fe value (3.2 mg/kg wet wt), but have the lowest As value (0.25 mg/kg wet wt.) compared with the other fish species. The levels of As for M. barbatus were high (1.3 mg/kg wet wt.) and followed by M. merlangus (1.24 mg/kg wet wt).The concentrations of the studied heavy metals were far below the established values by the Turkish Food Codex and Commission Regulation (EC). Therefore, their contribution to the total body burden of these heavy metals can be considered as negligibly small. Keywords: Black Sea, heavy metal, Mullus barbatus, Merlangius merlangus, Trachurus mediterraneus, Liza aurata. Karadeniz'in Sinop Kıyılarında (Türkiye) Yakalanan Dört Ticari Balıkta Ağır Metal Düzeyleri ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı 2012-2013 balıkçılık sezonunda Karadeniz'in Sinop kıyılarından yakalanan barbun (Mullus barbatus), mezgit (Merlangius merlangus), istavrit (Trachurus mediterraneus) ve altınbaş kefal (Liza aurata) balıklarının kas dokularında sekiz ağır metalin (alüminyum, arsenik, bakır, çinko, cıva, demir, kadmiyum ve kurşun) düzeylerini değerlendirmektir. Balıklardaki metal analizleri ICP-MS (endüktif eşleşmiş plazma -kütle spektrometresi) kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. T. mediterraneus türündeki Cu miktarı hariç tüm balık türlerindeki Al, Hg, Cd, Pb ve Cu düzeyleri ölçüm düzeylerinin altında bulunmuştur. İstavritteki ortalama Cu miktarı 0.67 mg/kg yaş ağırlıktır. En yüksek Zn (24,7 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) yine T. mediterraneus türünde bulunmuş olup diğer türlerdeki değerlerden 7-8,5 kez daha fazladır. Diğer türler ile karşılaştırıldığında L. aurata türü en yüksek Fe (3,2 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) ancak en düşük As (0,25 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) değerine sahiptir. M. barbatus türündeki As düzeyleri yüksek (1,3 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) olup bunu M. merlangustürü (1,24 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) izlemiştir. Çalışılan ağır metal konsantrasyonları Türk Gıda Kodeksi ve Avrupa Birliği Tüzüğü'nce belirlenen değerlerin oldukça altında bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle, bu ağır metallerin toplam vücut yükündeki payının önemsenmeyecek kadar küçük olarak nitelendirilebilir.

“…Coastal pollution has been increasing significantly over the recent years and found expanding environmental problems in many developing countries. Urban and industrial activities in coastal areas introduce significant amount of trace metals into the marine environment, causing permanent disturbances in marine ecosystems, leading to environmental and ecological degradation and constitute a potential risk to a number of flora and fauna species, including humans, through food chains (Boran, Altınok, 2010).…”

We measured the concentrations of Pb and Cd, in muscle tissue of 3 commercially important crustacean species (Penaeus monodon, Fenneropenaeus indicus and Metapenaeus brevicornis) collected from the UNESCO declared world heritage site Indian Sundarbans. The Indian Sundarbans estuarine system is recognized as one of the most diversified and productive ecosystems in the world located at the confluence of Hooghly-Matla estuarine complex. Due to negative pressures like intense industrialization, urbanization and increase of anthropogenic activities in recent era, this ecosystem is getting contaminated with toxic heavy metals which vary with seasons. Significant variation of heavy metals in muscle tissue of 3 commercially important crustaceans collected from four different sampling stations (2 in central and 2 in western sector) of Indian Sundarbans were observed. Inductively coupled plasma -mass spectrometer was used to study the level of metals in tissues of selected species. The concentration of trace metals accumulated in all the muscle tissues of selected species followed the order Pb> Cd. The distribution of metals exhibited significant spatial variation and followed the order station 1 >station 2 > station 3 > station 4, which may be due to variable degree of contamination in different location (p < 0.01) indicating the adverse impact of industrialization and urbanization on the edible crustaceans community. When compared with the recommended value of World health Organization (WHO, 1989) in context to consumption of seafood, metal concentration in all the crustaceans showed higher value, the only exception was Sajnekhali (Station 4) for Metapenaeus brevicornis.
