“…Among the muscle tissue samples, Zn was detected as highest followed by Fe, Pb, Co, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni and Mn (Fig 2) The repartition of the trace metals analysed, between the two tissues of Lagocephalus suezensis considered (muscle and skin), shows that the trace metals are preferentially accumulated in muscle. This finding is consistent with the work done by Eken et al(2017) in the Antalya Bay.…”

“…Subsequently, this Lessepsian invasive species has established large populations along the coasts of many countries of the eastern basin such as Israel, Lebanon, Turkey (Mediterranean and Aegean coasts), Cyprus and Greece (Aegean and Ionian coasts), while still rapidly expanding westwards along the coasts of Egypt, Libya, and along the entire Tunisian coastlineq (Ben-Soussi et al, 2014). There is very limited information about puffer fish at the present time, including the systematic, zoogeography and growth in this area (Başusta et al, 2013;Kalogirou, 2013;Karunanidhi et al, 2017;Eken et al, 2017;Ayas & Köşker 2018;Manaşırlı et al, 2017).…”

In the present study, the heavy metal concentrations in different organs (skin and muscle tissue) were studied in Lessepsian suez puffer (Lagocephalus suezensis Clark and Gohar, 1953) collected from Iskenderun Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean. Heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, Co, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni & Zn) were analyzed in different organs for the above mentioned species. The maximum heavy metals concentrations in muscle tissues of the species were Cu 1.750 mg/kg, Fe 18.096 mg/kg, Mn 0.606 mg/kg, Zn 228.571 mg/kg, Cd 2.00 mg/kg, Co 3.571 mg/kg, Cr 0.952 mg/kg, Ni 1.500 mg/kg and Pb 18.095 mg/kg. Zn was detected higher in all the samples followed by Fe, Pb, Co, Cd, Cu, Ni, Cr and Mn. In the present study, heavy metal concentrations were found high in muscle tissues when compared to skin. The Pb, Cd and Zn concentration over the recommended limits was found in Lagocephalus suezensis. Further, this is the first report on distribution of heavy metals and proximate compositions of commercialized important edible pufferfishes from Iskenderun Bay, Turkey.

“…Metals are the most studied pollutant in the marine environment due to long return cycles, unsuitability for decomposition and increase in accumulation along the food chain [4]. Some metals like iron, chromium, manganese, cobalt, nickel, copper, selenium are essential in trace amounts for aquatic microorganisms and may become toxic in excess amounts; on the other hand, others like mercury, cadmium and lead are non-essential and toxic [5]. Metal toxicity ends up with the formation of oxidative stress in aquatic organisms [6].…”

Marine environments are suffered from several types of pollution. Marine organisms take pollutants into their bodies which result in heavy metal accumulation in their tissues. Therefore, consumption of marine organisms may pose a risk to human health. This study was undertaken to estimate metal accumulation and metal toxicity responses of M. barbatus, B.boops, T. trachurus from Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea. Also, since these species were commonly consumed by Turkish people, health risk assessment employing The Target Hazard Quotient (THQ) and lifetime cancer risk (CR) was conducted. For that purpose, aluminum (Al), chrome (Cr), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) concentrations in the muscle, gill and liver. To test the impact of metal toxicity on studies species, oxidative stress biomarkers (catalase-CAT, Malondialdehyde-MDA) in muscle and liver were investigated. Metal accumulation levels showed differences depending on tissues, species and/or bays. Also, strong correlation was observed between biostress parameters and metal accumulation levels. Both, THQ and CR calculations showed safe consumption depending on the consumption of M. barbatus, B.boops, T. trachurus at all stations. Results obtained in this study showed that biostress parameters could be effectively used to monitor environmental pollution and contribute to the knowledge of metal toxicity along Turkish coast.
