Resumo
Sea urchins are marine and benthic invertebrates, many of them sessile or with
reduced mobility. The species Sterechinus neumayeri (Meissner, 1900) is the most
abundant in shallow Antarctic seawater, from the coast until 400 m depth. Comandante
Ferraz Antartic Station (EACF), that is part of the Brazilian Antarctic Base
located on King George Island, in Admiralty Bay, was chosen for this study and, two
sampling sites were chosen for this purpose: a "control" site at Botany (62 05. 400’
– 62 05. 556’ S; 058 18,127’ – 058 18. 612’ W); and a "contaminated" site close to
the station where a fire occurred in 2012, consuming about of 70% of the facilities.
Ten organisms from each region were collected. Gonads and intestines of these sea
urchins were dissected, dried in a ventilated oven at 40 C until reach a constant
weight. The micronutrients concentration and some trace elements were determined
by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA). Methodology validation
according precision and accuracy was carried out by means of the following certified
reference materials analyses: Oyster Tissue (NIST-1566b), Mussel Tissue (NIST
SRM- 2976), and Peach Leaves (NIST SRM – 1547). The analytical methodology
was validated by Z-Score (|Z|<2) in 95% C.I. For preliminary statistical analysis, a
normality test (p > 0.05) and Grubbs test were performed for outliers detection (p
< 0.05, C.I. 95%). Results obtained by INAA showed that the elements Br, Co, Cr,
Cs, Fe, Se and Zn presented a higher concentration in the "contaminated" point
and As, Ba, Na, and Sc, in the "control" point (Botany). The others elements (Ba,
Fe, Na e K) showed no significant difference between sites. Multivariate statistical
analysis will be applied to the results.
