Multi-elemental concentration in different body parts of Sepiella inermis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Multi-elemental concentration in different body parts of Sepiella inermis by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2019 Dec 13;: Authors: Seedevi P, Raguraman V, Suman TY, Mohan K, Loganathan S, Vairamani S, Shanmugam A Abstract The present study examined the accumulation of metal on Sepiella inermis from the Mudasalodai Landing Center, from southeast coastal region of India. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to determine metals including aluminium, boron, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, magnesium, nickel, lead and zinc. The results showed that metal concentration in S. inermis detected in the head, arm, mantle, eye, ink, liver and nidamental gland with higher concentration of magnesium up to 992.78 mg/kg, and tentacle showed maximum concentration of aluminium 306.72 mg/kg. Further, copper found in low concentration ranges from 0.04 to 0.55 mg/kg in different parts of S. inermis. Heavy metal like cadmium detected high in tentacle with 0.24 mg/kg, and the manganese present in eye was 0.55 mg/kg. However, no accumulation of nickel was found in the tentacle part.
