Özet

Accumulation levels of trace elements in edible tissues of three shrimp species (Penaeus semisulcatus, Parapenaeus longirostris and Paleomon serratus) from the Gulf of Antalya, Turkey were investigated. Copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The lowest Cu (1.33 mg kg(-1)) and Cd (0.23 mg kg(-1)) and highest Mn (1.52 mg kg(-1)) concentrations were found in P. longirostris, the lowest Zn (6.25 mg kg(-1)), Fe (1.84 mg kg(-1)) and Mn (0.25 mg kg(-1)) concentrations in P. serratus and the highest Cu (6.19 mgkg(-1)), Cd (2.36 mgkg(-1)), Zn (30.84 mgkg(-1)) and Fe (33.89 mg kg(-1)) concentrations in P. semisulcatus. The Cd levels detected in P. semisulcatus and P. serratus were above legislative limits. Our results show that there were significant differences in trace element concentrations among the three shrimp species. The highest levels of the five trace elements investigated, with the exception of Mn, were found in edible tissue of P. semisulcatus. (c) 2007 Society of Chemical Industry.
