Özet
In this study four Polychaetes species namely Capitella capitata, Nereis zonata, Platynereis dumerilii and Perinereis cultrifera were selected to evaluate metal pollution in Karakum shores of Sinop Peninsula in the southern Black Sea. The Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn amounts in water, sediment as well as their existence in Polychaetes were studied to appraise the anthropogenic impact on their environment. Metals concentrations in water were found in the following order: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd > Hg, whereas the order of abundance of these metals in sediments were as follow Zn > Cu > Pb > Hg >Cd. There were no differences in heavy metal levels in sediment between seasons. The concentration of metals analysed in the Polychaete species showed same pattern. Zn showed the highest concentration in all species followed by Cu. The results showed that the heavy metal levels in C. capitata were much higher than those in N. zonata, P. dumerilii and P. cultrifera.
