Concentration of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAHs) in the Sediments and Milkfish (<i>Chanos chanos</i>, Forsk) at Marunda and Blanakan Ponds, Indonesia

Abstract

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are pollutants of concern due to their persistence in the marine ecosystem.The aim of the research was to analyse concentration of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the sediments and milkfish (Chanos chanos, Forsk) at Marunda and Blanakan ponds.The PAHs fraction were analysed using GC-MS model Shimadzu QP5000.The results revealed that PAH detected in the surface sediments of Marunda and Blanakan Ponds, were Naphthalene, Benzo (b) fluoranthene, Benzo (k) fluoranthene, Benzo (a) pyrene and Indeno (1,2,3-cd) pyrenewith the range concentrations were 27.1~63.0 ng/g and 24.0~64.9 ng/g. Total PAH concentration observed in the meat and gills of Chanos chanos at Marunda ponds were 13.3 ng/g and 0.4 ng/g, respectively, while in Blanakan ponds, PAH were not detected. PAHs were detected in Marunda and Blanakan indicates input source petrogenic and pyrogenic both sediment, meat, and gills of Chanos chanos, Forskal.

Multi-Year Monitoring of the Toxicological Risk of Heavy Metals Related to Fish Consumption by the Population of the Kendari Region (Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia)

“…All species have low lead concentrations, many even below the lead detection limit. The lead concentrations of C. chanos are much lower than those measured by the authors of [ 103 ], whereby their lowest concentration was 1.447 μg g −1 in the north of Jakarta. Similarly, lead concentrations obtained by the authors of [ 104 ] in C. chanos in the Philippines were double that of our findings, with 0.164 ± 0.003 μg g −1 DW.…”

“…Lethrinus ornatus had a high mercury concentration in 2015, 0.872 ± 0.069 μg g −1 DW, a value four times higher than that measured by the authors of [ 94 ] for L. lentjan on the east coast of India (0.212 ± 0.002 μg g −1 DW). A lower concentration of 0.48 ± 0.08 μg g −1 DW for L. lentjan was found by the authors of [ 103 ] on the east coast of Malaysia. The species with one of the highest concentrations is Lutjanus gibbus with 0.829 ± 0.278 μg g −1 DW in 2014.…”

Marked variations in gut microbiota and some innate immune responses of fresh water crayfish, marron (Cherax cainii, Austin 2002) fed dietary supplementation of Clostridium butyricum

“…In addition, we also projected increased activities for biosynthesis of secondary metabolites including prodigiosin, degradation of toxic compounds including organic (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, PAHs) and synthetic (caprolactam) waste. High PAHs concentration is harmful for aquatic life as they can persist for long time without being degraded by the natural system while microbial mediated biological degradation has been reported in the aquatic systems (Noverita Dian, Aryanti & Nugraha, 2013). The present study was designed to nurture marron without any filtration system, rather 30% water exchanged regularly.…”
