This baseline study highlights the (210)Po variation in whole fishes with different feeding habits. Whole-body (210)Po concentrations were determined in ten important commercial fish species found in the northern Arabian Gulf to serve as baseline data. Primarily, (210)Po is absorbed from water, concentrated by phytoplankton and microzooplankton, and then transferred to the next trophic level along the marine food chain. The lowest concentration of (210)Po was measured in larger carnivorous fishes like hamoor (0.089 Bq kg(-1)), while the highest was found in the fishes that feed on algae, zooplanktons and detritus, like battan (3.30 Bq kg(-1)). The baseline data can be used to understand both the trophic transfer of (210)Po in the marine food chain and the (210)Po concentration factors in fish from the Arabian Gulf.
本基线研究强调了不同摄食习性的整体鱼类中（210）Po 的变化。对在阿拉伯湾北部发现的十种重要商业鱼类的全鱼体（210）Po 浓度进行了测定，作为基线数据。（210）Po 主要通过水被吸收，被浮游植物和微浮游动物浓缩，然后沿着海洋食物链转移到下一个营养级。在像 hamoor（0.089 Bq kg(-1)）这样的大型肉食性鱼类中测量到的（210）Po 浓度最低，而在以藻类、浮游动物和碎屑为食的鱼类中，如 battan（3.30 Bq kg(-1)）中发现的（210）Po 浓度最高。基线数据可用于了解海洋食物链中（210）Po 的营养转移以及来自阿拉伯湾鱼类中（210）Po 浓度系数。
