ABSTRACT
The beryllium (Be) concentrations
were determined in the shells, opercula and soft tissues of the
Nerita lineata and
in the surface sediments collected from nine geographical sites
of Peninsular Malaysian mangrove area in April 2011. The ranges
of Be concentrations (μg/kg dry weight) were: <1.00- 4.00 for shells, <1.00-2.00
for opercula and 3.00-41.00 for soft tissues of N. lineata. For sediments, Be ranges were found between 1200
and 3810 μg/kg dry weight. The distribution
of Be was found to be: sediment> soft tissues > shells ≥
opercula. The insignificant (p>0.05)
relationships of Be between snails and sediments and low bioaccumulation
factor (ratio of soft tissues to sediment) (<1.00), could be
attributed to the fact that Be contamination being not serious in
the Peninsular Malaysian mangrove area. The snail N.
lineata as a good biomonitor of Be needs further investigations. Lastly, Peninsular
Malaysia mangrove was not contaminated by Be based on the present
findings.

ABSTRAK
Kepekatan berilium (Be) telah ditentukan di dalam cangkerang, operkulum dan tisu lembut
bagi Nerita lineata dan di dalam sedimen permukaan
disampel dari
sembilan kawasan geografi di kawasan paya bakau di Semenanjung
Malaysia pada April 2011. Julat
kepekatan Be (μg/kg
berat kering) adalah:
<1.00-4.00 bagi cangkerang,
<1.00-2.00 bagi operkulum
dan 3.00-41.0 bagi
tisu lembut dalam
N. lineata. Bagi
sedimen, julat Be adalah didapati antara 1200 dan 3810 μg/kg berat kering. Taburan bagi Be didapati sebagai: sedimen> tisu lembut> cangkerang ≥ operkulum. Korelasi yang tidak bererti (p>0.05) antara
siput dan sedimen dan faktor
biopenimbunan yang rendah
(nisbah bagi tisu
lembut kepada
sedimen) (<1.00), mungkin disebabkan oleh pencemaran Be tidak serius di dalam kawasan paya bakau
Semenanjung Malaysia. Siput
N. lineata sebagai
penunjuk pemantauan
bagi Be memerlukan kajian lanjutan. Akhir sekali, paya
bakau Semenanjung
Malaysia tidak dicemari Be berdasarkan hasil kajian ini.
Kata kunci: Be; pemantauan;
