SummaryThis study was conducted to determine the levels of some nonessential potentially toxic trace elements (PTEs) (Ag, Al, As, Ni, Sn) of some economically important seafood species (Mullus barbatus, Linnaeus, 1758, Mugil cephalus, Linnaeus, 1758, Panaeus semisulcatus, De Haan, 1844 caught in the Gulf of Antalya Mediterranean Sea by using ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optic Emission Spectrophotometer). The averages and the standard deviations of the results of the samples were determined as Ag (0.030±0.017 mg/kg), Al (12.163±7.298 mg/kg), As (0.269±0.121 mg/kg), Ni (0.084±0.067 mg/kg), Sn (0.022±0.003 mg/kg) for the Red Mullet (M. barbatus), Ag (0.038±0.024 mg/kg), Al (11.120±4.019 mg/kg), As (0.140±0.082 mg/kg), Ni (0.060±0.050 mg/kg), Sn (0.022±0.003 mg/ kg) for the Grey Mullet (M. cephalus), Ag (0.032±0.029mg/kg), Al (20.924±9.829 mg/kg), As (0.249±0.116 mg/kg), Ni (0.124±0.102 mg/ kg), Sn (0.026±0.004 mg/kg) for the Green Tiger Prawn (P. semisulcatus). The determined levels of trace elements were below the available daily intake limits except Al. Also evaluation of other studies conducted in the Gulf of Antalya, Al levels are higher. These results showed that, although increasing the legal rules about environmental pollution, seafood species which caught from the Gulf are exposed to Al in a higher rate.

Cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and mercury (Hg) are toxic metals with increasing interest due to their tendency to bioaccumulate in fish tissue which may pose a threat to human health via fish consumption. This review of the recent literature on Cd, Pb, Hg levels summarizes data of fish biomonitoring studies in the Mediterranean Sea in order to determine potential risks due to dietary intake of metals. The analytical methods applied are described, with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy being the most popular. Most of the literature reviewed is focused on the Eastern Mediterranean. Results from the studies indicate that metals mostly accumulate in liver, followed by muscle. Although there are few studies reporting metal levels in fish exceeding the maximum residue levels (MRLs), the bulk of the studies cite levels below the MRLs. The hazard index (HI) of fish consumption, namely the ratio of estimated weekly intake to provisional tolerable weekly intake (EWI/PTWI) was estimated for adult consumers and no risk emerged. The EWI/PTWI ratios of lead and mercury for Italy 418(0.14 and 0.22 respectively) represent the highest HI levels estimated. In view of maximizing the benefits while minimizing the risks of fish consumption, a more detailed fish-specific database on intakes for consumers is required and extended bimonitoring in as many regions as possible.

“…The determination of trace elements in food, such as fish, is of great importance in assessing both their nutritional quality and also the risk of environmental contamination (Conti et al, 2012). Elements such as lead and cadmium are toxic even at low concentrations and marine organisms can accumulate high concentrations of these chemicals (Copat et al, 2013), while iron, copper, zinc and manganese are essential metals because they play an important role in biological systems.…”

Concentrations of ten elements (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, V and Zn) were determinate in muscle tissues of 13 fish species from Aratu Bay, Bahia, Brazil by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The accuracy and precision of our results were checked by using two certified reference materials: BCR-422 cod muscle and SRM 1566b oyster tissue. The average trace element concentrations in the fish species varied in the following ranges, in μg g0.03-0.8 for Cr; 2.0-33.7 for Cu, 2.4-135.1 for Fe, 1.6-25.6 for Se; 1.6-35.1 for Sr; and 2.8-40.5 for Zn. The Diaptereus rhombeus (carapeba) specie presented the highest concentrations of Se, Cu and Fe. Chromium and Se were present at levels above the limit of tolerance allowed by the National Agency of Sanitary Vigilance (ANVISA). The results were also evaluated using the multivariate analysis techniques: principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA).Keywords: seafood, chromium, selenium, composition, ICP OES. Avaliação de elementos químicos essenciais e contaminantes em treze espécies de peixes da Baía de Aratu, Bahia, Brasil ResumoForam determinadas as concentrações de dez elementos (Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr, V and Zn) em tecidos de músculos de treze espécies de peixes da Baía de Aratu, Bahia, Brasil, utilizando a espectrometria de emissão ótica com plasma indutivamente acoplado. A precisão e exatidão dos resultados foram analisadas utilizando dois materiais de referência certificada: BCR-422 cod muscle e o SRM 1566b oyster tissue. A concentração média dos elementos traço nas espécies de peixes variaram nas seguintes faixas, em μg g −1 : Cr = 0, 8; Cu = 2,7, Fe = 2,1, Se = 1,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]6; Sr = 1,1;. A espécie Diaptereus rhombeus (carapeba) apresentou as maiores concentrações de Se, Cu e Fe. Cromo e Se apresentaram níveis acima do limite de tolerância estabelecido pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (ANVISA). Os resultados ainda foram avaliados usando técnicas de análises multivariadas: análise de componente principal (PCA) e análise de agrupamento hierárquico (HCA).Palavras-chave: fruto do mar, cromo, selênio, composição, ICP OES.
