微量金属浓度的汞，镉，铅和铬在髌骨caerulea，和Mullus rectuatus进行了调查，以提供信息污染的爱奥尼亚海，因为这些金属具有最高的毒性潜力。从塔兰托湾附近的两个监测站采集的帽贝样本中记录了高浓度的铬（0.47-0.97 μ g g（-1）湿重），而在西西里的鲻鱼样本中发现了高浓度的汞（0.31-1.50 μ g g（-1）湿重）。清洁站记录的金属浓度可被视为有用的背景水平，可作为地中海区域内比较的参考。相反，在塔兰托湾附近地区和Capo Passero发现的高含量铬和汞在环境健康方面令人关切，需要经常监测。
Trace metal concentrations of mercury, cadmium, lead and chromium in Patella caerulea, and Mullus barbatus were investigated to provide information on pollution of Ionian Sea, since these metals have the highest toxic potential. High chromium levels (0.47-0.97 mu g g(-1) ww) were registered in limpet samples collected from two station near the Gulf of Taranto, while elevated concentration of mercury (0.31-1.50 mu g g(-1) ww) were found in mullet specimens from Sicily. The metal concentrations recorded at the clean stations may be considered as useful background levels to which to refer for comparison within the Mediterranean area. On the contrary, the high levels of chromium and mercury found respectively in the areas near the Gulf of Taranto and at Capo Passero being of concern in terms of environmental health need frequent monitoring.
