摘要
We measured Cd and Pb in the muscle and stomach contents of Thunnus albacares and Katsuwonus pelamis to define the distribution of the elements in the tissues and their degrees of biomagnification. Po-210 was measured in the livers of both species and compared to the results of similar studies. The trophic position of the tuna species was determined by N isotope measurements. The average activity of Po-210 in the liver ranged from 119 to 157 (Bq kg(-1) wet weight) in K. pelamis and T. albacares. The trophic position of T. albacares (4.60) was higher than that of K. pelamis (3.94). The Cd content of the muscle increased significantly with the trophic position of the tuna. delta C-13 in T. albacares and K. pelamis varied, with values of 3.13 and 1.88 parts per thousand, respectively. The delta N-15 values in yellowfin tuna were higher than in skipjack tuna. The trophic position of T. albacares (4.60 +/- 0.67) was therefore more elevated than that of K. pelamis (3.94 +/- 1.06). Pb was biomagnified in T. albacares (transfer factor = 1.46). (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
