Türkiye'nin farklı kıyı bölgelerinden Çin şapkası, Patella caerulea (Linnaeus, 1758) ve deniz kestanesinde Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) polonyum-210 biyoakümülasyonunun mevsimsel olarak değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Bu çalışma, iki deniz omurgasız türünde polonyum-210 (²¹⁰Po) aktivite konsantrasyonlarının mevsimsel değişimlerini incelemiştir: Çin şapkası (Patella caerulea) ve deniz kestanesi (Paracentrotus lividus). Aralık 2018'den Ekim 2019'a kadar olan dönemde, Ege ve Marmara Denizi kıyılarında mevsimsel örnek toplama çalışmaları üç farklı istasyonda gerçekleştirildi. Bu istasyonlar İzmir-Urla, Karaburun ve İstanbul Adaları-Kınalıada olarak belirlendi. ²¹⁰Po'nun boyuta bağlı birikimini değerlendirmek için numuneler boy gruplarına ayrılmıştır. Her iki türdeki aktivite konsantrasyonları mevsimsel dalgalanmalar göstermiş olup, Çin şapkası örneklerinde 4,9 ± 3,4 Bq kg⁻¹ kuru ağırlık ile 28,0 ± 8,4 Bq kg⁻¹ kuru ağırlık arasında, deniz kestanelerinde ise 8,7 ± 6,1 Bq kg⁻¹ kuru ağırlık ile 58,0 ± 18,5 Bq kg⁻¹ kuru ağırlık arasında değişmiştir. Tüm örnekleme istasyonlarında en yüksek ²¹⁰Po aktivite konsantrasyonları sürekli olarak bahar aylarında gözlenmiştir.

Assessment of polonium-210 bioaccumulation in Mediterranean limpet Patella caerulea (Linnaeus, 1758) and sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck, 1816) from different coastal areas of Türkiye: Inclusion of a seasonal investigation

Abstract

This study investigated the seasonal variations of polonium-210 (²¹⁰Po) activity concentrations in two marine invertebrate species: Mediterranean limpet (P. caerulea) and the sea urchin (P. lividus). Seasonal sample collection was conducted across three Aegean and Sea of Marmara coastal stations from December 2018 to October 2019. The stations included İzmir-Urla, Karaburun, and İstanbul Island-Kınalıada. To assess the size-dependent bioaccumulation of ²¹⁰Po, individuals were categorized into size groups. The activity concentrations in both species exhibited seasonal fluctuations, ranging from 4.9 ± 3.4 Bq kg⁻¹ dry weight to 28.0 ± 8.4 Bq kg⁻¹ dry weight in Mediterranean limpets and 8.7 ± 6.1 Bq kg⁻¹ dry weight to 58.0 ± 18.5 Bq kg⁻¹ dry weight in sea urchins. The highest ²¹⁰Po activity concentrations were consistently observed in spring across all sampling locations.
