“…Trash fish and fish meals are mainly used for marine fish farming, which usually contribute to fecal mass and food residues, and raise the loading of heavy metals (Chang and Chen, 2006;Mai et al, 2006). Deteriorations of sediment quality around fish farming zones have been reported in several studies (Wong et al, 2001;Zhang et al, 2007;Meng et al, 2008;Yu et al, 2008;Qiu et al, 2011). Pollution of marine sediment in aquacultural zones and the subsequent bioaccumulation of heavy metals pose a potential risk to the public health (Dural et al, 2007;Man et al, 2010).…”

“…1), contaminated oysters C. hongkongensis were collected from the Baijiao (BJ, 24°28 0 2 00 N, 117°56 0 19 00 E) and Fugong (FG, 24°22 0 58 00 N, 117°54 0 13 00 E) sites, along the contaminated Jiulongjiang estuary, and the control oysters were collected from the harbor of the Jiuzhen (JZ, 24°2 0 38 00 N, 117°42 0 26 00 E) site, from the nearby relatively clean Jiuzhen estuary, Fujian, China,. Evidence confirmed that the Jiulongjiang estuary was contaminated by metals (Liu and Wang, 2012;Zhang et al, 2007). This estuary is an important area for oyster culture, and the average surface salinity ranges from 14 to 26 psu depending on the tidal action (Liu and Wang, 2012).…”

“…The TOC varied between 1.2 and 3.9, with high values in the west and east parts and lower concentrations in the middle part of the study area. It has been widely reported [19,41,42] that there is heavy metals uptake by the organic carbon content of sediments. Organic content is recognized as a useful tool to obtain quantitative and qualitative information from both absolute values and variation trends; it comes from natural and anthropogenic sources, and even if it is not directly responsible for dangers to human health, [19] particulate organic materials have a high cation exchange capacity and strongly sequester metal ions.…”
