Özet
The primary objective of this study was to assess the concentrations of Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), and Iron (Fe) in the consumable parts of the Mediterranean mussel, scientifically known as Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck, 1819). These mussels were collected from the Sinop coast, situated along the Black Sea. This species holds significance as an economic resource and an indicator organism for environmental monitoring. The edible portions of the mussel specimens were meticulously isolated, and the quantities of Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn), and Iron (Fe) were quantified using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The mean concentrations of these elements in the edible tissues of the mussels were determined to be 0.68±0.01 mg/kg, 2.35±0.05 mg/kg, 16.81±1.44 mg/kg, and 719.41±17.87 mg/kg, respectively. It is noteworthy that the sequence of predominance of these metals within the mussels was as follows: Iron (Fe) exhibited the highest concentration, followed by Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni), and Cobalt (Co).
