“…Molybdenum is an important element that occurs as sulfides (e.g., MoS 2 ) and is commonly associated with Cu sulfides (El-Sorogy et al, 2013a). It ranged in concentration between 0.004 and 0.06 mg/ g with an average of 0.01 mg/g in the studied samples (Table 1).…”

“…Thermal desalination plants can discharge a variety of heavy metals, Lotfy ( including Mn, depending on the alloys present in the process line, which may affect water quality (Hoepner, 1999;Lattemann and Hopner, 2008). It can be transported to the marine environment across landfill, marine paintings, construction residuals, and corrosion of steel constructions and pipelines (Fallon et al, 2002;El-Sorogy et al, 2013a).…”

“…Heavy metals can enter into the coastal environments from different sources including natural weathering processes and anthropogenic activities (Sadiq and Alam, 1989;Sadiq et al, 1992;Ziko et al, 2001;Abd El-Wahab and El-Sorogy, 2003;Krishna and Govil, 2007;Badr et al, 2009;Venkatramanan et al, 2012;Garali et al, 2010;Madkour, 2013;El-Sorogy et al, 2012, 2013a. Many studies have been dealt with fauna, environmental assessment, and sedimentology of the Arabian and Oman gulfs (Dance and Eames, 1966;Dance et al, 1992;Bosch et al, 1995;Al-Homaidan, 2006;Loughland et al, 2012;El-Sorogy et al, 2015;Almasoud et al, 2015).…”

“…Shell of Nerita albicilla can accumulate Cu, Pb, Zn, Ag, Th, Ba, Ti, S, Sc, Se and Canarium (Gibberulus) gibbosus can accumulate Mo, U, Au, and K (El-Sorogy et al, 2013 ). In addition, changes in the size of Littoraria scabra were found in the area of non-polluting has a total weight, shell length and shell width greater than those found in the polluted area (Wolf and Rashid, 2008).…”

Andi Nur Samsi, Ruzkiah Asaf, Sahabuddin, Andi Santi, and Muhammad Ikhsan Wamnebo. 2017. Review: Gastropods as A Bioindicator and Biomonitoring Metal Pollution. Aquacultura Indonesiana, 18 (1): 1-8. Water pollution effect on aquatic organisms and if consumed can affect people's health. These pollutants can be heavy metals such as Cd, Pb, Cr, Hg, and others. Heavy metals have high levels will cause disorders of the kidneys, brain, severe irritation to the skin, can cause diarrhea and even death. The purpose of this paper is to explain physiological mechanisms that occur in the body of gastropods are linked to pollutants in the water environment. Therefore, monitoring the level of pollution a body of water that is alleged to have suffered contamination is very important. Gastropods are one of the aquatic animals (Class) used as bioindicators and biomonitoring for this group of animals has a high ability to accumulate heavy metals in their bodies compared to other aquatic animals. Gastropods is one bioavailability against metal pollution so that it can be used for environmental monitoring. Littoraria scabra, Nassarius reticulatus, Nerita albicilla, Nucella lapillus, Gibberulus gibbosus, Terebralia palustris, and Telescopium telescopiun always use as biomonitoring metal pollution. The main indicator that can be shown by gastropods is declining abundance and body size. Other indicators are as bioavailability of heavy metals in the soft tissues and shells. The ability of the heavy metal deposits is influenced by environmental factors, body size, weight, and gender. Heavy metals can affect hard, thickness, volume, and color of the shell.
