Mineral Matter Content and Heavy Metal Contamination of Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus Linnaeus 1758) captured from different seas

Abstract

Objective of this study was to determine the mineral and heavy metal contents of anchovy caught from 3 different regions, namely the Black Sea (Sinop-Samsun coast), Sea of Marmara (İstanbul coast) and the Aegean Sea (İzmir coast). Mineral material and heavy metal contamination levels in anchovy were determined by inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP-MS). The average Na, Mg, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Hg and Pb content of the anchovies caught from the Aegean Sea, Sea of Marmara and the Black Sea respectively; 911.04, 975.24, 1181.87; 403.85, 420.45, 509.44; 265.55, 3534.09, 4274.65; 1056.81, 978.26, 1265.53; 0.57, 1.39, 1.55; 13.062, 10.29, 17.93; 0.88, 0.77, 1.31; 20.03, 15.79, 30.72; 0.63, 0.16, 0.14 and <0.00, 0.03, 0.10 mg kg-1. Overall, Zn, Fe, As, Rb, and Cd content of the fish caught from different seas were different from each other (p<0.05). When the heavy metal data obtained were analyzed in general, it was determined that the anchovy caught from the Aegean Sea were not objectionable in terms of health, except for the Hg content.
