“…When the metal concentrations were compared among the Black Sea coasts, Zn and Cu concentrations were found to be highest in Engraulis encrasicolus of Bartin coast (Türkmen et al, 2008) and Mullus barbatus of Trabzon coasts (Topcuoglu et al, 1990), respectively.…”

In the present study, the heavy metal concentrations (zinc, copper, cadmium and lead) have been measured in dorsal muscle tissue of ten species (Trachurus mediterraneus, Sprattus sprattus sprattus, Mullus surmelatus, Sarda sarda, Mugil cephalus, Scorpaena porcus, Sparus aurata, Umbrina cirrosa, Spicara maena and Solea solea) from Sinop coast of the Black Sea, Turkey during fish season in 2010. Significant differences in metal concentrations were found between the species (P<0.05). In general, it was found that the levels of heavy metals studied were lower than the maximum permissible limit of the food regulations of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF), the Turkish Food Codex and Commission Regulation (EC). Cd showed the lowest concentrations in all fish samples followed by Pb. The results of the present study were compared with the other studies and discussed.Keywords: Black Sea, fishes, zinc, copper, cadmium, lead. Anahtar Kelimeler: Karadeniz, balık, çinko, bakır, kurşun, kadmiyum.

“…Pb concentrations were found to be the highest in Mullus barbatus of Trabzon coasts (Topcuoglu et al, 1990) and it was followed by S. sarda (Nisbet et al, 2010). Cd concentrations were found to be the highest in S. sarda (Uluozlu et al, 2007) and it was followed by Psetta maxima and Spicara smaris (Nisbet et al, 2010).…”

“…For example, the metal levels in the Black Sea have increased due to oil pollution and airborne contaminants; about 60% of the petroleum hydrocarbons in the Black Sea coast of Turkey came from spill and discharges related to marine transportation and balast wastes in hundreds barrels that had been dumped irresponsibly by foreign ships during the period of 1980 and 1995 (Topçuoglu et al 1990). …”

The distribution of some heavy metals in the muscle tissue of Merlangius merlangus (whiting), Mullus barbatus (red mullet), Engraulis encrasicholus (anchovy) from Black and Mediterranean Seas were studied. The highest Al (95.313 microg/g dw), Mn (1.390 microg/g dw), Zn (25.416 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in E. encrasicholus from Black Sea; the highest Li (3.200 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in E. encrasicholus from Mediterranean Sea; the highest Cd (1.685 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. merlangus from Mediterranean Sea; the highest Ni (1.363 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. merlangus from Black Sea; the highest Pb (0.727 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. barbatus from Black Sea and the highest Cr (1.893 microg/g dw), Fe (21.901 microg/g dw) concentration was detected in M. barbatus from Mediterranean Sea.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the levels of eight heavy metals (aluminium, arsenic, copper, zinc, mercury, iron, cadmium and lead) in the muscle tissue of Red mullet (Mullus barbatus), Whiting (Merlangius merlangus), Mediterranean horse mackerel (Trachurus mediterraneus) and Golden grey mullet (Liza aurata) caught from Sinop coast of the Black Sea during fishing season in 2012 and 2013. Metal analyses in fish were performed using ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled PlasmaMass Spectrometer).The levels of Al, Hg, Cd, Pb and Cu in all fish species except T. mediterraneus for Cu were below the limit of detections. Mean Cu level in Mediterranean horse mackerel was 0.67 mg/kg wet wt. Highest value of Zn (24.7 mg/kg wet wt) was also found in the T. mediterraneus which were about 7-8.5 times more than the other species.L. aurata have the highest Fe value (3.2 mg/kg wet wt), but have the lowest As value (0.25 mg/kg wet wt.) compared with the other fish species. The levels of As for M. barbatus were high (1.3 mg/kg wet wt.) and followed by M. merlangus (1.24 mg/kg wet wt).The concentrations of the studied heavy metals were far below the established values by the Turkish Food Codex and Commission Regulation (EC). Therefore, their contribution to the total body burden of these heavy metals can be considered as negligibly small. Keywords: Black Sea, heavy metal, Mullus barbatus, Merlangius merlangus, Trachurus mediterraneus, Liza aurata. Karadeniz'in Sinop Kıyılarında (Türkiye) Yakalanan Dört Ticari Balıkta Ağır Metal Düzeyleri ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı 2012-2013 balıkçılık sezonunda Karadeniz'in Sinop kıyılarından yakalanan barbun (Mullus barbatus), mezgit (Merlangius merlangus), istavrit (Trachurus mediterraneus) ve altınbaş kefal (Liza aurata) balıklarının kas dokularında sekiz ağır metalin (alüminyum, arsenik, bakır, çinko, cıva, demir, kadmiyum ve kurşun) düzeylerini değerlendirmektir. Balıklardaki metal analizleri ICP-MS (endüktif eşleşmiş plazma -kütle spektrometresi) kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. T. mediterraneus türündeki Cu miktarı hariç tüm balık türlerindeki Al, Hg, Cd, Pb ve Cu düzeyleri ölçüm düzeylerinin altında bulunmuştur. İstavritteki ortalama Cu miktarı 0.67 mg/kg yaş ağırlıktır. En yüksek Zn (24,7 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) yine T. mediterraneus türünde bulunmuş olup diğer türlerdeki değerlerden 7-8,5 kez daha fazladır. Diğer türler ile karşılaştırıldığında L. aurata türü en yüksek Fe (3,2 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) ancak en düşük As (0,25 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) değerine sahiptir. M. barbatus türündeki As düzeyleri yüksek (1,3 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) olup bunu M. merlangustürü (1,24 mg/kg yaş ağırlık) izlemiştir. Çalışılan ağır metal konsantrasyonları Türk Gıda Kodeksi ve Avrupa Birliği Tüzüğü'nce belirlenen değerlerin oldukça altında bulunmuştur. Bu nedenle, bu ağır metallerin toplam vücut yükündeki payının önemsenmeyecek kadar küçük olarak nitelendirilebilir.
