“…High concentrations recorded for Fe in the mussels indicates a high impact of terrigenic particles, which are general rich in this metal. Similar results were found by Ugur et al (2002) for M. galloprovincialis collected from the Aegean coast of Turkey. High concentration levels can be attributed to the fact that Fe occurs naturally in the environment and may come from different backgrounds.…”

Heavy metal concentrations in black mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) collected from Cape Town Harbour were determined using energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). EDXRF showed that tissue portions of the mussels contained K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Si, Sr, Al and Au, while the shell portion contained K, Ca, Fe, Cr, Zn, Si and Sr. In addition to these metals, EDXRF also revealed the presence of Al in the shells of the largest mussels. Highest concentrations of Cu and Zn were recorded in the tissues of the smallest mussels. Due to poorer detection limits of EDXRF, ultra-trace elements (Mn, Pb, As, Hg, V, Cr, Sn, Cd, Ni and Co) were determined in mussels using ICP-MS. The average metal concentrations found in the mussels are as follows; Pb (7.30 ± 0.67), Cd (1.98 ± 0.13), Hg (4.92 ± 0.60), As (6.94 ± 0.04), Sn (2.63 ± 0.13), Ni (1.88 ± 0.05), Cr (3.54 ± 0.05), V (4.17 ± 0.23), Co (0.74 ± 0.01) and Mn (35.20 ± 1.46). ANOVAs, Pearson correlation and principal component analysis (PCA) were employed in data analysis. The order of the abundance of metals in the mussels isThe average metal concentrations found in the mussels were higher than the permissible Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) limits and other international guidelines.

“…In case of Kuala Selangor, Theng et al [11] also suggested that the concentration of Po-210 in the soft parts of cockle differed significantly between each sampling date and influenced by the environmental factors. The calculated values for Anadara granosa are higher than the values found in the literature, where specific activities vary from 9 to 175 Bqkg -1 fresh weight [9,12,13]. Samad et al [14] described that mussels like Patella vulgate concentrate high Po-210 and Pb-210 radionuclides in their tissues.…”

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].
