Öğe Assessment of Heavy Metal Contamination in Various Tissues of Six Ray Species from A°skenderun Bay, Northeastern Mediterranean Sea(Springer, 2013) Turkmen, Mustafa; Tepe, Yalcin; Turkmen, Aysun; Sangun, M. Kemal; Ates, Alpaslan; Genc, ErcumentThis study was performed to investigate the heavy metal concentrations in muscle, liver, gill and intestine of six ray species from A degrees skenderun Bay. The present study is the first for rays in A degrees skenderun Bay, providing valuable preliminary information about heavy metal contents in different tissues of the examined ray species from the bay, and indirectly, indicating the environmental contamination of A degrees skenderun Bay. Heavy metal levels in intestines were generally higher than those in other tissues for all species. Metal levels in ray muscle tissue were below the international maximum allowable levels for fish and fishery products, as well as Turkish national guidelines, with the exception of the highest value for Cd in Dasyatis pastinaca.Öğe Assessment of heavy metals in two commercial fish species of four Turkish seas(Springer, 2008) Tepe, Yalcin; Turkmen, Mustafa; Turkmen, AysunThere is an increasingly need to assess the contaminant levels in fish as indicators of the health and well-being of both the fish and their consumers, including humans. Fish samples were collected through the coastal waters of Turkey and the contents of cadmium, copper, chrome, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, zinc and lead in the liver and muscle tissues were determined by ICP-AES. The highest levels of each metal were found in the liver and this was followed by the muscle in both species. Among the metals analyzed, Cu, Zn and Fe were the most abundant in the different tissues while Cd and Pb were the least abundant both in Mullus barbatus (red mullet) and Merlangius merlangus (whiting). Regional changes in metal (Cd, Cu, Pb, Fe and Zn) concentration were observed in the tissues of both species, but these variations may not influence consumption advisories.Öğe Determination of metal contaminations in sea foods from Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean seas: Twelve fish species(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2008) Turkmen, Mustafa; Turkmen, Aysun; Tepe, Yalcin; Ates, Alpaslan; Gokkus, Kutalmis[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Determination of metals in fish species from Aegean and Mediterranean seas(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2009) Turkmen, Mustafa; Turkmen, Aysun; Tepe, Yalcin; Tore, Yalcin; Ates, AlpaslanDetermination of metal levels in muscles and livers of twelve fish species from Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea by ICP-AES was made. The levels of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn in muscles of fish were <0.01-0.39, <0.01-0.45, 0.07-1.48, 0.51-7.05, 9.18-136, 0.18-2.78, 0.03-1.72, 0.21-1.28 and 3.51-53.5 mg kg(-1), respectively. Metal levels in muscles were generally lower than those in livers. Metal concentrations in the edible parts of fish were assessed for human uses according to provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) and provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI). The estimated values of all metals in muscles of fish in this study were below the established values. Therefore, it can be concluded that these metals in edible parts of the examined species should pose no health problems for consumers. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

Fish samples were collected through the coastal waters of Turkey and the contents of cadmium, cobalt, chrome, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, zinc and lead in the liver and muscle tissues were determined. Among the metals analyzed, copper, zinc and iron were the most abundant in the different tissues while cadmium and lead were the least abundant both in Belone belone and Pomatomus saltatrix. Metal concentrations in muscles of fish species were found 0.01-0.38 mg kg(-1) for cadmium, 0.01-0.53 mg kg(-1) for cobalt, 0.05-1.87 mg kg(-1) for chromium, 0.21-5.89 mg kg(-1) for copper, 9.99-43.3 mg kg(-1) for iron, 0.14-1.33 mg kg(-1) for manganese, 0.06-4.70 mg kg(-1) for nickel, 0.09-0.81 mg kg(-1) for lead, 3.85-15.9 mg kg(-1) for zinc, respectively. Regional changes in metal concentration were observed in the tissues of both species, but these variations may not influence consumption advisories.Öğe Metal contaminations in five fish species from Black, Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, Turkey(Soc Chilena Quimica, 2008) Turkmen, Mustafa; Turkmen, Aysun; Tepe, YalcinThe concentrations of cadmium, copper, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, zinc and lead in muscle and liver tissues of the fish samples collected from seven stations in the coastal waters of Turkey and were determined. Iron showed the highest levels in both tissues of fish and all stations. Following Fe; Zn generally showed the second highest levels. Metal concentrations in edible parts of fish species were 0.02-0.30 mg kg(-1) for cadmium, 0.04-0.26 mg kg(-1) for cobalt, 0.07-1.19 mg kg(-1) for chromium, 0.34-16.7 mg kg(-1) for copper, 18.5-72.3 mg kg(-1) for iron, 0.07-2.58 mg kg(-1) for manganese, 0.01-2.78 mg kg(-1) for nickel, 0.04-1.34 mg kg(-1) for lead. 3.36-42.6 mg kg(-1) for zinc respectively. In general, metal concentrations in livers were higher than those in muscles. Cadmium, chromium and lead concentrations in muscles of fish from some stations were higher than permissible safety levels for human uses.Öğe Metal levels in tissues of the European anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus L., 1758, and picarel, Spicara smaris L., 1758, from Black, Marmara and Aegean seas(Springer, 2008) Turkmen, Aysun; Tepe, Yalcin; Turkmen, MustafaLevels of metals in commercially important two species, Engraulis encrasicolus L., 1758 and Spicara smaris L, 1758 from Black, Marmara and Aegean seas, Turkey was evaluated. The concentration ranges of cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead and zinc in the samples were 0.01-0.07, 0.01-0.08, 0.09-0.51, 0.21-8.58, 11.9-169, 0.14-2.82, 0.06-1.51, 0.12-0.87, 7.12-45.6 mg kg(-1) for muscles, and 0.06-0.69, 0.06-0.53, 0.28-2.97, 0.99-30.7, 55.2-316, 0.72-9.67, 0.47-11.6, 0.26-3.38, 12.5-145 mg kg(-1) for livers, respectively. The present study show that although different metals were present in the samples at different levels but within the maximum residual levels prescribed by the TKB and FAO the specimens from these areas, in general, are safe for human consumption.
