| Özet |
| In the current work, the levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, copper and zinc have been determined in Ophelia bicornis and in sediments collected seasonally from the Sinop coast of the southern Black Sea in 2015. Hg and Pb levels were usually greater in sediment than those in worms. Cd, Cu and Zn levels, however, were higher in the worm samples. Zn had the maximum concentration factor average and Pb displayed the minimum concentration factor value. It may be turned out that O. bicornis has capability to accumulate the heavy metals from the marine ecosystem and it will be used as a biomonitor species for Cd, Cu and Zn in the Black Sea. |
