ABSTRACT
This study focused on the distributions of Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in the various tissues (shell, operculum, muscle,
digestive cecum, foot, cephalic tentacles, mantle, radular and remainder) of the mangrove snail Nerita lineata collected from Sungai Janggut, Selangor. Copper and Zn levels in all soft tissues
were found to exceed those in the sediment, indicating bioaccumulation of these
metals. Fe levels in all soft tissues of the snails were found to be lower than
those in the sediment even though Fe is the most abundant metal among the six
metals investigated. Cd and Pb levels in soft tissues
were also found to be lower than those in the sediment but opposite trends were
observed for Cd and Pb levels in the shells. Ni, Cd
and Pb levels in the shells were significantly (p< 0.05) higher than those in the soft
tissues and sediment. However, digestive cecum and remainder showed higher Ni
level as compared with sediment. The biota sediments accumulation factor (BSAF)
has identified that the shell and operculum were macroconcentrators for Cd, Ni and Pb while all the soft tissues of N. lineata were macroconcentrators for Cu (except for muscle) and Zn. The findings indicated that the differences
in metal distribution could be attributed to the differences in tissue
physiology and metal handling, storage and detoxification strategies.
Keywords: Different tissues; metal distribution; Nerita lineata
ABSTRAK
Kajian ini memfokus kepada taburan Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb dan Zn di
dalam tisu berlainan (cangkerang, operkulum, otot, sekum pencernaan, kaki,
tentakel, mantel, radula dan tinggalan) bagi siput bakau Nerita lineata yang disampel dari Sungai
Janggut, Selangor. Aras Cu dan Zn dalam semua tisu lembut didapati melebihi
aras di sedimen, menunjukkan berlakunya biopenimbunan logam tersebut. Aras Fe
dalam semua tisu lembut didapati lebih rendah daripada aras di sedimen walaupun
Fe adalah logam paling banyak antara enam logam yang dikaji. Aras Cd dan Pb
dalam tisu lembut pula didapati rendah daripada aras pada sedimen, namun trend
yang berlawanan diperhatikan bagi Cd dan Pb dalam cengkerang. Tahap Ni, Cd dan
Pb di dalam cangkerang adalah lebih tinggi secara signifikan (p< 0.05) daripada tahap di tisu lembut
yang berlainan dan sedimen. Namun, sekum pencernaan dan tinggalan menunjukkan
kepekatan Ni yang lebih tinggi berbanding sedimen. Faktor akumulasi biota sedimen
(BSAF)
telah menunjukkan bahawa cengkerang dan operkulum ialah makrokonsentrator bagi
Cd, Ni dan Pb manakala tisu lembut ialah makrokonsentrators bagi Cu (kecuali
otot) dan Zn. Penemuan di atas menunjukkan bahawa perbezaan taburan logam
mungkin disebabkan oleh perbezaan fisiologi tisu, strategi pengendalian logam
serta penyimpanan dan mekanisme detoksifikasi yang berlainan antara tisu-tisu
tersebut.
Kata kunci: Nerita lineata; pelbagai tisu; taburan logam
