Zusammenfassung

Die Bestimmung von Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Cu, Co, Zn und Cd wurde in 123 Proben von Kabeljau, Hering, Sprotten und einigen anderen Fisch-species aus der südlichen Ostsee untersucht. Die mittleren Werte der aufgefundenen Metalle werden mit früheren Werten anderer Autoren aus verschiedenen Regionen der Ostsee verglichen. Die Korrelations-Koeffizienten zwischen der Spurenelement-Konzentration in Kabeljau und Hering wurden berechnet. Die Species-abhängigen Veränderungen einiger Metalle wurden beobachtet.

Summary

The determination of Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Cu, Co, Zn and Cd was investigated on 123 samples of muscle tissue of cod, herring, sprat and some other species of fish caught in 1981 in the southern Baltic Sea. The ranges and mean levels of metals recorded in this paper are compared with values reported previously by other authors for cod, herring and sprat from different regions of the Baltic Sea. The correlation coefficients between the metal concentrations in cod and herring muscles were calculated. The species-dependent changes of some metals in species analysed were observed.
