“…The objectives of this study are: (1) to measure the concentrations of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) in ten fish species, at five sites in Middle Black Sea in order to determine the extent of any heavy metal contamination; (2) to estimate the seasonal variation of heavy metal loading in these fishes; and (3) to find the correlation between metal concentrations and fish size evaluation.…”

Makale Kodu (Article Code): KVFD-2009-982 SummaryThe purpose of this study is to determine some heavy metals in muscle tissues of fish collected from the Middle Black Sea Coast of Samsun, Sinop, Terme, Fatsa and Ordu in Turkey. A total of 1650 fish samples including Trachurus trachurus, Alosa caspia, Pomatomus saltatrix, Mullus barbatus, Spicara smaris, Engraulis encrasicolus, Gobius cephalarges, Sarda sarda, Merlangius euxmus and Psetta maxima were used as material. Metal concentrations in fish samples were measured by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The average value of metal concentrations in fish samples were determined as follows: 2.38 μg/g for Cu, 5.41 for Mn, 26.06 for Fe, 3.40 for Ni, 25.74 for Zn, 0.77 for Pb and 0.022 for Cd, but Hg was not detected. These values were compared with FAO/WHO standards and metal concentrations in fish samples were found to be lower than the maximum permissible levels, but lead level was found to be higher.

İstavrit, tirsi, çinekop, barbun, izmarit, hamsi, kaya balığı, palamut, mezgit ve kalkan olmak üzere toplam 1650 adet balık örneği materyal olarak kullanıldı. Balıkta metal konsantrasyonu atomik absorbsiyon spektrometresi kullanılarak belirlendi. Balık örneklerinde ortalama ağır metal konsantrasyonları: Cu: 2,38, Mn: 5,41, Fe: 26,06, Ni: 3,40, Zn: 25,74, Pb:0,77 ve Cd: 0,022 μg/g olarak bulundu, Hg ise tespit edilemedi. Elde edilen bu değerler FAO/WHO standartları ile karşılaştırıldığında balık örneklerinin maksimum kabul edilebilir limitleri aşmadığı, fakat kurşun düzeyinin limitlerin üzerinde olduğu belirlendi.

“…The highest concentrations are those of lead tracking chromium, cadmium and mercury, and it is observed along the three samples. This shows that the accumulation of metals occurs preferentially in algae compared to the available form of metals, with the size of organisms, ecology and morphology, the immersion period and exposure of algae [42]. This is clearly shown by the analysis of variance to one factor (ANOVA) with Excel, which was performed for the comparison of trace metal concentrations in seaweed Cystoseira compressa for the three periods of samples.…”

Desalination processes have environmental impacts. The brine water discharge has an impact on marine ecosystem. This is mostly due to the highly saline brine that is discharged into the sea, which may be increased by temperature, contain residual chemicals from the pretreatment process, heavy metals from corrosion or intermittently used cleaning agents. The effluent from desalination plants is a multi-component waste, with multiple effects on water, sediment and marine organisms. Therefore, it affects the quality of the resource which it depends on. In this study, selected water quality parameters in the seawater and the presence of heavy metals of concern in the sediments and algae were monitored to investigate the impacts of the discharges by seawater desalination plants using reverse osmosis on the receiving marine environment. In light of the results obtained, the analyzed water has a physicochemical quality more or less adequate, moreover, chemical analyzes in seaweed and sediments show relatively low levels of heavy metals.

“…Topcuoglu et al (2003a) investigated the metal content in macroalgae samples collected from the Black sea Turkish coast in the period 1998 to 2000. According to the findings of this study, the heavy metal pollution decreased in Turkish coast of the Black sea in the investigated years (Table 2).…”
