Abstract

The level of trace metal elements (TME) (Cd, Pd, Cu, Zn, Fe) was determined according to the seasons and the sexes in the muscle and the eggs of the deep-water pandalid shrimp Plesionika edwardsii (Brandt in Reise in den aussersten Norden und Osten Sibiriens wahrend der Jahre 1843 und 1844 mit allerhochster Genehmigung auf Veranstaltung der Kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu St. Petersburgausgefuhrt und in Verbindung mit vielen Gelehrten herausgegeben 2(1):77–148, 1851) of the east coast of Algeria. Using the inductively coupled atomic plasma emission spectrometry method (ICP AES), the distribution of trace metals shows a significant fluctuation according to the seasons and the sex. Throughout the annual sampling, the order of heavy metal concentrations in female and male muscle, as well as in eggs were Cd < Cu < Fe < Zn < Pb, Cd < Cu < Zn < Pb < Fe, Cd < Cu < Fe < Zn < Pb respectively. In this work the heavy metal concentrations in target tissues are below the permissible limits set by the international standard except for Pb, mainly in summer, autumn and spring, exhibiting alarming levels.
