Levels of 210Po in some commercial fish species consumed in the Aegean Sea coast of Turkey and the related dose assessment to the coastal population

Concentrations of 210Po were determined in the edible muscle tissue of ﬁve species of marine ﬁsh: Sardine (Sardine plichardus) and Anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus), Red mullet (Mullus barbatus), Horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) and Gilt-head sea bream (Sparus aurata) collected from ﬁve stations in the Aegean Sea Region of Turkey during the ﬁshery season 2010. The 210Po concentrations in the ﬁsh samples were found to vary from not detected levels to 389 Æ 45 Bq kgÀ1 dry wt. These variations in 210Po content in different species are probably due to differences in metabolism and feeding patterns. The highest levels for 210Po were observed in Anchovy (E. encrasicolus) species.
