TI  - Macro and Trace Element Levels of Green Algae Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot 1889 From Dardanelles (Çanakkale/Turkey)
AB  - Heavy metal pollution is one of the important pollution causes for water resources in the world. Algae can be used as an indicator species for the accumulation of heavy metals. Therefore, macro (Na, K, Mg, P, Ca, B) and trace element (Co, Cd, Cr,Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Zn) values were analyzed by ICP-OES in the species in our study.In this study, we aimed to determine the element concentrations of Codium fragile (Suringar) Hariot 1889 macroalgae collected from Dardanelles (Çanakkale-Turkey) coastal area (40°14'27.03"N 26°32'29.74"E during summer season in 2018. Elemental concentrations of C. fragile were determined as following order: Na>Ca>Mg>K>Fe>P>Mn>Pb>B>Zn>Cu>Ni>Cr>Co=Mo=Cd respectively in our study. We also found the Cd, Co and Mo elements below the limit values. In C.fragile, macro elements values were higher than the trace elements values. Fe is the most common trace element after macro elements in all algae samples. Fe trace element is followed by Mn and Pb elements.We think that high metal concentrations in the Dardanelles affect the water quality negatively and may pose a threat to the living creatures living there, and we believe that serious measures should be taken to reduce continuous input in the Dardanelles, which has high shipping and tourism potential.
