Trace elements were measured in the feathers of black-tailed gull chicks (n = 10) and adults (n = 10) collected at Chilsando Is., Jeollanam-do, Korea, in June 2011. Pb, Mn and Fe were significantly greater in adult (arithmetic mean 2.02, 3.81, 92.1 μg/g dw, respectively) than chick (0.74, 2.14, 68.7 μg/g dw) gulls. In contrast, Zn was greater in chicks (74.9 μg/g dw) than adults (46.5 μg/g dw). Cd, Pb and Cr in all chicks and adults were lower than an approximate threshold level for toxic effects. Cd, Pb and Cr were comparable or lower than reported in other gull studies worldwide. Essential elements including Al, Cu, Mn, Zn and Fe were within the background and normal physiological levels reported earlier in other gull species including black-tailed gulls.
2011 年 6 月,在韩国全罗南道丽水市的驰山岛采集了黑尾海鸥幼鸟(n=10)和成年鸟(n=10)的羽毛,测量了其中的微量元素。成年鸟(算术平均值 2.02、3.81、92.1μg/g dw,分别)体内的 Pb、Mn 和 Fe 明显高于幼鸟(0.74、2.14、68.7μg/g dw)。相比之下,幼鸟体内的 Zn(74.9μg/g dw)高于成年鸟(46.5μg/g dw)。所有幼鸟和成年鸟体内的 Cd、Pb 和 Cr 均低于产生毒性效应的近似阈值水平。Cd、Pb 和 Cr 的含量与世界其他海鸥研究报告中的含量相当或更低。包括 Al、Cu、Mn、Zn 和 Fe 在内的必需元素均处于背景水平和其他海鸥物种(包括黑尾海鸥)早期报告的正常生理水平。
