“…A previous study by Allinson et al (2002) reported no correlation between length and As, Co, Cu, and Mn in gill of the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). Another study, performed by Cevik et al (2008) on Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis), reported an overall lower strength of correlation between heavy metals accumulated in the same tissue compared with our study in addition to a smaller number of associations in general. Smaller crayfish are known to ingest a greater proportion of animal matter, which may result in higher concentrations of the tested metals and metalloid in smaller individuals because those prey animals may also accumulate heavy metals from the environment (Gutierrez-Yurrita et al 1998).…”

The present work details the analysis of heavymetal and metalloid concentrations in exoskeleton, gill, hepatopancreas, and abdominal muscle tissues of 60 crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) specimens collected from Lake Hirfanlı, a dam lake located in Kırşehir (Turkey) with a low metal-contamination profile. [Pb]) and a metalloid (arsenic [As]) were measured by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and the relative frequencies of the most abundant isotopes of Cr, Cu, Ag, Cd, Hg, and Pb were evaluated. Three correlation trends were evaluated between the following: (1) different elements in the each individual tissue, (2) individual elements in different tissues, and (3) different elements in different tissues. In addition, correlation rates of growth parameters (weight, cephalothorax length, and total length) with heavy-metal and metalloid concentrations in each tissue were investigated. Our results suggest that substantial differences in metal and metalloid-accumulation levels exist between male and female specimens, with stronger correlations between the heavy-metal concentrations observed in the male cohort. It is notable that correlation trends of Co, Cu, 52 As, Cr, and Ni in exoskeleton of the male specimens display strong similarities. Likewise, a very strong correlation is present in Ni-Cd and Ni-Pb accumulations in abdominal muscle of the male specimens; a similar trend is present between Cd and Pb concentrations in the same tissue of female specimens. For correlation rates of different heavy metals and metalloid in different tissues, the strongest positive association observed was between 63 Cu in gill and As in hepatopancreas, whereas the strongest negative correlation was between accumulated Ni in abdominal muscle and As in exoskeleton. Strong correlations between metals and metalloid accumulations were observed between exoskeleton and gill. In many cases, metal and metalloid accumulation was negatively correlated with growth parameters. Preferential accumulation of Cr and Cu isotopes was observed in different tissues, suggesting that significant amounts of isotope fractionation occur during heavy-metal accumulation. Relatively low correlation rates were observed between 52 Cr/ 53 Cr and 63 Cu/ 65 Cu concentrations in several tissue types in both male and female cohorts, whereas no such trend was observed between Cd and Pb isotopes.

“…In a similar way, mean nickel levels (16.4 mg kg -1 dw) were found higher than this study in soft tissues of mussels in Italy [30]. In the mussels collected from the Eastern Black Sea higher mean copper concentrations in soft tissues (90-260 mg kg -1 dw) than the current study were detected [31]. Relatively high mean concentrations (186-398 mg kg -1 dw) of zinc were also found in the soft tissues of mussels in Portugal [32].…”

Comparative study of heavy metals and selenium accumulation in the digestive gland and gills of Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) caught in Izmir bay (Turkey) [İzmir Körfezi'nden (Türkiye) yakalanan Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819)'un sindirim bezi ve solungaçlarındaki ağır metal ve selenyum içeriklerinin karşılaştırması] ABSTRACTObjective: The aim of this study was to evaluate heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg, Pb) and selenium levels in digestive gland and gill tissues of wild Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819) collected from four locations in Izmir Bay. Methods: A total of 180 samples of the wild Mediterranean mussel M. galloprovincialis with shell length of 50-60 mm were collected from four locations. Inductively coupled plasmamass spectroscopy was used to determine heavy metals and selenium concentrations in mussel samples after microwave digestion process. March 5, 2015] and the effects of these plants on ecosystem of the Izmir bay have been monitored [15,18]. Results ICP-MS as a technique for the inorganic trace analysisshows an excellent sensitivity for a large numbers of elements of interest and the speed of measurement makes it suitable for routine, multielement determinations at trace and ultratrace levels. Important characteristic is the ability to detect and measure concentrations of analyzed elements at very low levels [19,20].The aim of this study was to quantify and compare heavy metals and selenium in digestive glands and gill tissues of M. galloprovincialis collected from four locations in Izmir Bay. Material and MethodsIzmir Bay is located in the eastern Aegean Sea between latitudes of 38°20' and 38°42' N and longitudes of 29°25' -27°10' E. It is one of the largest natural bays of the Mediterranean. Izmir which is the third largest city in Turkey is located at the west part of the Anatolian peninsula and it is an important industrial and commercial center and a cultural focal point. The Izmir Bay has been considered dividing into three areas as Outer, Middle and Inner Bay according to their physical characteristics. The main industries in the region include food processing, oil, soap and paint production, chemical industries, paper and pulp factories, textile industries and metal processing [21][22][23].

The levels of Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd and Hg in the edible tissues of Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819 (Mediterranean mussel) picked up from the Black Sea coasts of Turkey have been determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma -Mass Spectrometer (ICP/MS) with a view to biomonitoring metal contamination in 2015. In this work, a statistically significant difference in the amounts of all studied heavy metals analyzed was noticed amidst sampling areas namely Igneada, Sinop, Samsun and Trabzon so that appraise welfare threat for mussel consumers, utilization M. galloprovincialis as biomonitors. The outcomes of this study were contrasted with the outlines stated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), the Turkish Food Codex and Commission Regulation (EC) for the harmless consumption restrictions of Bivalves as seafood. Moreover, former works with mussels in the Black Sea countries were reviewed and a summary of heavy metal amounts in mussels from whole the Black Sea waters were presented. In general these available measurements clearly indicated a low level heavy metal in M. galloprovincialis in coastal waters of the Black Sea. In this study the concentrations (mg metal kg -1 wet wt.) of metals ranged from 18-35 for Fe, 8-27 for Zn, 2.8-4.5 for Mn, 0.5-1.8 for Cu, 0.06-0.31 for Pb, 0.04-0.10 for Cd and 0.03-0.07 for Hg. Considering human health with respect to the investigated heavy metals, the estimated daily intakes (EDIs) did not exceed the permissible intakes. No chronic systemic risk was found since total hazard index (0.521) were quite below critical value 1, and the carcinogenic risk for heavy metals did not exceed the tolerable values. Although there was no health risk to consumed mussels from the Black Sea riparian countries, the amount of mussels consumed is mainly unknown in countries; thus, consumption of about 1 serving of mussels from clean coastal waters per week is enough. current World EnvironmentJournal Website: www.cwejournal.org
