Abstract

The contents of Hg,Zn,Pb,Cd,Cr of bivalves and fishes collected from culture areas and natural catching along Lianyungang coast were determined by atom fluorescence spectrometry,graphite furnace atomic Absorption spectrophotometer,flame atomic Absorption spectrophotometer,and the contents of the heavy metals were analyzed and assessed.Results show that the content of Pb of bivalves from culture areas and that of bivalves and fishes from natural catching were over the standards,the rest were below the legal limit,marine organisms were not polluted by heavy metals,indicating the environmental quality inshore was good.
