摘要

Abstract

The present paper reports Zn

Mn and Co contents in the tissues of oyster

solen

red-tail prawn

sea eel and kelp

taken from Meizhou Bay (and analysed by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry after wet digestion) in June 1992

and also the concentration factors estimated from the mean metal concentrations in the organisms and water there. Heavy metal concentrations in every species of the organisms followed the pattern: Fe

Zn>Pb

Co and in various organisms showed considerable variation. In general

levels of most of these metals were in the order. soft tissues of the bivalves>the kelp>muscles of the red-tail prawn

the sea eel. The greatest concentration of most metals was found in the gill or viscera of the sea eel

whereas the muscle tissues

in general

contained only low concentrations of them. The Cu

Zn concentration factors of the oyster were higher by 1–2 orders of magnitude than that of the other organisms. The observed heavy metal levels were close to those reported from various waters throughout the world

far lower than “Evaluation Standard for Polluting Substances in Marine Organisms” and “Medical Standard for Human Consumption”. This study showed that marine organisms from Meizhou Bay are hardly polluted by heavy metals.
