Abstract

Ships and associated anthropogenic activities release a number of contaminant elements into the marine environment which can be particularly concentrated in restricted circulatory environments including Bays and marinas. One such locality is a Punat Bay, situated at the southern coastline of the island of Krk (west Croatia), which is the largest Croatian marina. The aim of this study was to examine depth profiles of sulfur (S), phosporous (P), iron (Fe), and trace elements (As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sn, Sr, Ti, U, V, Y, and Zn) in six sediment cores (down to 20-30 cm), and from mussels and fish from Punat Bay, by determining their levels with ICP-OES. Data analysis showed that the majority of variables were elevated in a sediment core located closest a port of the marina. Minimum to maximum S, P, and Fe levels in sediments were as follows: 0.4-2.4%, 0.04-320 mg/kg, and 0.2-2.3%, respectively. Correlations among S, P, Fe, and various trace elements were mostly positive (p<0.05). Trace elements were not increased in mussels and fish. This paper shows that the Punat marina has only a limited impact on the environmental status. Several potentially toxic trace elemens (Pb, Cu, etc.) were found to be elevated in a sediment core located closest to the marina.

普纳特湾(克罗地亚克尔克岛)底部沉积物岩心、贻贝和鱼类中硫、磷、铁和微量元素的分布

船舶和相关的人为活动向海洋环境释放了许多污染元素，这些污染元素可能特别集中在海湾和码头等受限制的循环环境中。其中一个这样的地方是位于Krk岛(克罗地亚西部)南部海岸线的Punat湾，这是克罗地亚最大的码头。本研究的目的是通过ICP-OES测定普纳特湾6个沉积物岩心(深度20-30厘米)以及贻贝和鱼类的硫(S)、磷(P)、铁(Fe)和微量元素(As、Ba、Be、Cd、Co、Cr、Cu、Hg、Mn、Mo、Ni、Pb、Sn、Sr、Ti、U、V、Y和Zn)的深度剖面。数据分析表明，大多数变量在靠近码头港口的沉积物核心中升高。沉积物中S、P、Fe的最小至最大含量分别为0.4 ~ 2.4%、0.04 ~ 320 mg/kg和0.2 ~ 2.3%。S、P、Fe与各微量元素间的相关性均为正(P <0.05)。贻贝和鱼类的微量元素含量没有增加。本文表明，普纳特码头对环境状况的影响有限。几个潜在的有毒微量元素(铅，铜等)被发现在最靠近码头的沉积物芯中升高。

期刊介绍： Geologia Croatica welcomes original scientific papers dealing with diverse aspects of geology and geological engineering, the history of the Earth, and the physical changes that the Earth has undergone or it is undergoing. The Journal covers a wide spectrum of geology disciplines (palaeontology, stratigraphy, mineralogy, sedimentology, petrology, geochemistry, structural geology, karstology, hydrogeology and engineering geology) including pedogenesis, petroleum geology and environmental geology. Papers especially concerning the Pannonian Basin, Dinarides, the Adriatic/Mediterranean region, as well as notes and reviews interesting to a wider audience (e.g. review papers, book reviews, and notes) are welcome.
