Bioconcentration of essential and nonessential elements in black sea turbot (Psetta maxima maeotica linnaeus, 1758) in relation to fish gender
This study investigates the influence of gender in the bioconcentration of essential and nonessential elements in different parts of Black Sea turbot (Psetta maxima maeotica) body, from an area considered under high anthropogenic pressure (the Constanta City Black Sea Coastal Area in Romania).

A number of 13 elements (Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Ni, Cr, As, Pb and Cd) were measured in various sample types: muscle, stomach, stomach content, intestine, intestine content, gonads, liver, spleen, gills and caudal fin. Turbot adults (4-5 years old) were separated, according to their gender, into two groups (20 males, 20 females, respectively), and a high total number of samples (1200 from both groups) were prepared and analyzed, in triplicate, with Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry and High-Resolution Continuum Source Atomic Absorption Spectrometry with Graphite Furnace techniques.
