Description:
In the present study sea cucumber Actinopyga mauritiana, water and sediment samples collected during September to December 2018. Six heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cd) were analyzed in tissues (muscles, tentacles and guts), water and sediment by atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). The average measured levels of heavy metals Fe, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb and Cd in A. mauritiana muscle, tentacle and gut was 42.20 ± 9.47, 3.14 ± 0.48, 0.38 ± 0.22, 11.42 ± 4.34, 0.03 ± 0.00 and 0.02 ± 0.00; 36.90 ± 8.14, 3.22 ± 0.60, 0.40 ± 0.27, 10.50 ± 1.70, 0.04 ± 0.05 and 0.03 ± 0.02; 21.54 ± 5.06, 2.32 ± 0.66, 0.53 ± 0.16, 13.13 ± 2.90, 0.02 ± 0.02 and 0.02 ± 0.01 μg g−1 respectively. It is useful to monitor all metal accumulation in the future.
