ABSTRACT
In this paper we
investigated the concentrations of Pb in seven different soft tissues (foot,
cephalic tentacles, mantle, muscle, gill, digestive caecum and remaining soft
tissues) of 17 geographical populations of Telescopium
telescopium collected from the intertidal area of Peninsular Malaysia. Two
points can be presented based on the present study. First, as expected,
different concentrations of Pb were found in the different soft tissues,
indicating different mechanisms of bioaccumulation and regulations of Pb in
these different tissues. By comparing the Pb concentrations in the similar
tissues, spatial variation of Pb was found in the different sampling sites
although there is no consistent pattern of Pb contamination in these sampling
sites. Second, based on the correlation coefficients and multiple linear
stepwise regression analysis between Pb concentrations in the different soft
tissues and Pb concentrations in geochemical factions in the surface sediments,
it is found that gill and digestive caecum can truly reflect Pb contamination
and Pb bioavailabilities in the tropical intertidal mudflats. To our knowledge,
this is the most comprehensive study on Pb in the different soft tissues of T.
telescopium, in relation to the habitat sediments of the snails.
Keywords: Different soft
tissues; Pb distribution; Telescopium telescopium
ABSTRAK
Kertas ini melaporkan kajian
mengenai kepekatan Pb di dalam tujuh bahagian tisu lembut (kaki, tentakel
sefalon, mantel, otot, insang, secum pencernaan dan tinggalan tisu lembut) bagi
17 populasi geografi Telescopium telescopium yang disampel dari kawasan pasang surut
di Semenanjung Malaysia. Terdapat dua perkara boleh dikemukakan berdasarkan
kajian ini. Pertama, seperti yang dijangkakan, kepekatan Pb yang berlainan
diperoleh dalam pelbagai tisu lembut, menunjukkan mekanisme biopenimbunan dan
regulasi bagi Pb yang berlainan dalam pelbagai tisu ini. Dengan membandingkan
kepekatan Pb pada tisu yang sama, variasi secara tempat bagi Pb diperoleh di
kawasan pensampelan yang berlainan walaupun tiada pola yang tekal bagi
pencemaran Pb di kawasan pensampelan tersebut. Kedua, berdasarkan korelasi
koefisen dan pelbagai analisis regresi linear peringkat demi peringkat di
antara kepekatan Pb di dalam tisu lembut yang berlainan dan kepekatan Pb di
fraksi geokimia di permukaan sedimen, didapati insang dan secum pencernaan
boleh menunjukkan pencemaran Pb dan Pb ketersediaan di tempat pensampelan
pasang surut berlumpur. Pada pengetahuan kami, ini adalah kajian yang paling
lengkap bagi Pb di tisu lembut berlainan di T. telescopium yang
berkaitan dengan sedimen habitat bagi siput ini.
