“…By comparing the data from different the Southern West Black Sea regions (Mülayim and Balkıs 2015) it is possible to note that Cd concentrations (0.087 ±0.01 mg/kg) in R. venosa observed in this study in the Samsun coast of the Black Sea were lower than those observed (0.1-1.6 mg/kg) by Mülayim and Balkıs (2015). However Pb levels were similar in both studies.…”

Abstract:The present study was aim to determine the concentrations of copper, cobalt, lead, zinc, cadmium, manganese, nickel and iron in the edible tissues of Liocarcinus depurator (decapoda), Rapana venosa (gastropoda) and Mytilus galloprovincilais (mollusca) collected from Samsun coasts of the Black Sea, Turkey in 2010. These biomonitor species are major food sources of benthic ecosystem. Exposing to heavy metals at higher concentrations might be toxic to demersal fish species and also humans. The concentrations of the metals were carried out using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (UNICAM 929). Metal concentrations in L. depurator, R. venosa and M. galloprovincilais decrease in the order: Fe > Zn > Mn > Cu > Ni > Pb > Co > Cd; Fe > Zn > Cu > Pb > Mn > Cd > Ni and Fe > Zn > Cu > Pb > Mn > Co > Ni > Cd, respectively. The results showed that the Fe and Zn concentrations were the highest in edible tissues of the three benthic organisms, respectively. Mn was higher in the edible tissues of L. depurator than those in other species, while R. venosa and M. galloprovincilais shows more of Cu and Pb levels. The estimates of EWI and EDI indicated no health risk as values are lower than the allowed tolerable levels cited by internationals committees. Based on the above results of this study, metal accumulation in the biomonitor demersal species study did not exceed the permissible limits set for heavy metals by FAO/WHO.

“…For this reason, the wastes of the mentioned mines are transported to the marine environment by means of surface waters, as well as rivers and streams of various sizes (Çevik et al 2008;Baltas et al 2017a). Therefore, the sediments in the Black Sea have been negatively suffered by the anthropogenic contaminations (Yiğiterhan and Murray 2008;Mülayim and Balkıs 2015).…”

In the present study, the concentration levels of heavy metals such as Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cr and Pb in sediment samples collected from 16 sampling locations in the Middle and Eastern Black Sea regions, Turkey was measured using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (EDXRF). Various pollution parameters and methods, such as the enrichment factor (EF), geo-accumulation index (Igeo), contamination factor (CF), pollution load index (PLI), ecological risk index (RI), and geo-spatial distribution patterns were used to assess in detail the pollution status, ecological risks and sources of metals in sediment. The mean

“…Concerning the other two heavy metals measured, the Pb concentrations found in the muscle of E. verrucosa in Naples and Castelvolturno sites were approximatively comparable than those measured in the muscle of warty crab from Turkey (Levent and Öztekin 2016 ) and from Adriatic Sea (Zotti et al 2016 ). Instead, the levels of Pb resulted lower than the concentrations detected in muscles of Rapana venosa (0.1 to 0.7 μg g -1 ) analysed by Mülayim and Balkıs ( 2015 ) and in the edible muscle of warty crab (0.13 μg g -1 to 0.36 μg g -1 ww) analysed by Durmus et al ( 2018 ) both collected from the Black Sea. The Pb levels assessed in this study resulted also lower than the levels found in the edible muscle (0.10 μg g -1 ) of Chinese mitten crabs ( Eriocheir sinensis ) from rivers and lakes of Netherlands (Hoogenboom et al 2015 ), in muscles of the blue crab (1.08 ± 0.56 mg kg -1 ) collected from the northern Bay of Bengal (Karar et al 2019 ) and in muscles of the red crab from the Gulf of Mexico (Perry et al 2015 ).…”

“…For Cr, the levels detected in the present study were comparable to those found in muscle of Rapana venosa (0.47 ± 0.01 μg g -1 ) from the Black Sea (Topcuoğlu et al 2002 ) and in muscles of the blue crabs (0.68 ± 0.50 mg kg -1 ) collected from the northern Bay of Bengal (Karar et al 2019 ), while the Cr levels resulted higher than those found in muscle of Rapana venosa (0.1 to 0.2 μg g -1 ) from the Black Sea analysed by Mülayim and Balkıs ( 2015 ) and in muscle of warty crab from Adriatic Sea (Zotti et al 2016 ). Moreover, it has been reported by many authors that the bioaccumulation of toxic metals in crabs, and in general in all marine animals, depends on several physiological and biometric factors among which the body size is recognized as an important parameter (Pinheiro et al 2012 ; Knutsen et al 2018 ; Wiech et al 2020 ).…”

This study assesses the PAH and heavy metal levels in muscle of warty crabs (Eriphia verrucosa), from the northern coast of the Campania region improving the data on toxic contaminants in this crustacean. The results showed a minimal PAH contamination; the mean concentrations were as follows: 0.2, 1.6 and 1.7 μg kg-1 wet weight (ww) for BaP, PAH4 and PAH6, respectively. Regarding the levels of the two PAHs not included in the European regulations, the BkF mean concentration was 0.1 μg kg-1 ww, while DahA was detected only in 10.7% of samples. Pb and Cr were also detected at low levels with mean values of 0.068 and 0.468 mg kg-1 ww, respectively; instead, high As levels, with a mean value of 5.021 mg kg-1 ww, were found. Considering the EWIs and the ILCRs calculated in this study, the PAH, Pb and Cr contamination levels found in the edible part of the crabs resulted safe for human consumption. Contrariwise, the ILCR calculated for the As exceeded the acceptable level of cancer risk, although the calculation did not refer to the inorganic form which is the only one recognized as carcinogenic. Hence, this study shows that warty crabs can accumulate environmental contaminants in their muscle tissue representing an important route of exposure to these toxics for the local population that regularly consumes them. This finding highlights the importance of monitoring the presence of these pollutants in crabs and in general in all fish and seafood in order to ensure food safety for consumers.
