Background and Aim: Environmental pollution by heavy metals is one of the basic environmental problems. Heavy metals are of special importance due to the toxic effects of the environment in various aquatic species and the creation of the phenomenon of zoster enlargement. In aquatic ecosystems, molluscs form a large group of aquatic animals. Among the molluscs, since they move less in coastal areas, they are known as one of the suitable options for measuring the level of pollution. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accumulation of lead, nickel and cadmium heavy metals in the muscle tissue of 30 samples of sea flounder Peronia peronii, in the coastal waters of Hormozgan province (Bander Lange and Qeshm Island).
Methods: 30 samples were collected from each station separately and after transferring the samples to the laboratory and biometry, the amount of heavy metals accumulation in them was investigated.
Results: Observations indicated that the concentration of lead and nickel in sea flounder muscle in Bandar Lange was significantly lower than the limit defined in international standards (P<0.05) and the concentration of cadmium in sea flounder muscle in Bandar Lange was significantly higher. It was above the limit defined in international standards (P<0.05). The concentration of cadmium in the tissues of Bandar Lange samples was significantly higher than Qeshm Island (P<0.05). The results obtained from the relationship between the concentration of nickel, lead and cadmium and the average total weight in the regions showed that there is a significant relationship between the amount of accumulation of the mentioned metals and the total weight factor, and a positive correlation was observed with the total weight (P<0.05). The results obtained from the relationship between the concentration of nickel, lead and cadmium and the average total weight in the regions showed that there is a significant relationship between the amount of accumulation of the mentioned metals and the total weight factor, and a positive correlation was observed with the total weight (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The present study showed that the results obtained from the relationship between the concentration of nickel, lead and cadmium and the average total length of Peronia peronii in Bandar Lange and Qeshm Island showed that there is a significant relationship between the accumulation of the mentioned metals and the total length factor. and a relatively negative correlation was observed with the total length of the sea lichen (P>0.05). |
