The concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn in the different parts of six bivalves species were determined. From the study conducted, it was found that the byssus of Perna viridis, Scpharca broughtonii and Trisidos kiyonoi; the gill of Polymesoda erosa and Donax faba; and the foot of Gelonia expansa were highly accumulative of Cu. High levels of Cd were found in the gills of Scpharca broughtonii and the byssus of Trisidos kiyonoi; and also the shells of the four remaining bivalve species. As for Zn, the mantles of P. erosa and T. kiyonoi, and the gills of D. faba, G. expansa and S. broughtonii were highly accumulative of Zn. High level of Pb and Ni were found in the shells of all the species which indicated that the shells of the bivalves were highly accumulative of Pb and Ni. Elevated levels of Fe however were found in the different parts of the bivalve since Fe is an essential metal in metabolic activities and an abundant element in nature. The heavy metals in the total tissues and the different soft tissues of the bivalves were compared with the maximum permissible limits set by five different countries. From the comparison, it was found that most of the bivalves contained metal concentrations which were below the maximum permissible limits and should pose no toxicological risk to consumers.

Multivariate analysis including correlation, multiple stepwise linear regression, and cluster analyses were applied to investigate the heavy metal concentrations (Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in the different parts of bivalves and gastropods. It was also aimed to distinguish statistically the differences between the marine bivalves and the gastropods with regards to the accumulation of heavy metals in the different tissues. The different parts of four species of bivalves and four species of gastropods were obtained and analyzed for heavy metals. The multivariate analyses were then applied on the data. From the multivariate analyses conducted, there were correlations found between the soft tissues of bivalves and gastropods, but none was found between the shells and the soft tissues of most of the molluscs (except for Cerithidea obtusa and Puglina cochlidium). The significant correlations (P < 0.05) found between the soft tissues were further complemented by the multiple stepwise linear regressions where heavy metals in the total soft tissues were influenced by the accumulation in the different types of soft tissues. The present study found that the distributions of heavy metals in the different parts of molluscs were related to their feeding habits and living habitats. The statistical approaches proposed in this study are recommended for use in biomonitoring studies, since multivariate analyses can reduce the cost and time involved in identifying an effective tissue to monitor the heavy metal(s) bioavailability and contamination in tropical coastal waters.

“…As a consequence, molluscs achieve higher bioaccumulation factors for many toxicants than other groups. Observing of heavy metal contamination and bioavailabilities by the diverse parts of molluscs is remarkable since it might lessen the imprecisions of defining the heavy metal levels by using the total soft tissues [5].…”

Interspecies, inter-tissue and interspatial dissimilarities of trace metals in particular body parts of Saccostrea cucullata, Thais clavigera and Nerita chameleon from the east Johor coastal waters were compared. Metals of interest includes Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, Se and Sr. Bivalve mollusk S. cucullata evidenced to be a worthy bioindicator for Zn and Cu while the two gastropod molluscs, T. clavigera for Cd and Se, and N. chameleon for Pb, Mn and Sr. The prominent concentration of metals originate in T. clavigera may be the outcome of biomagnification transfer from the S. cucullata on which they feed while for N. chameleon, it might be resulting from their herbivorous feeding behavior on algae on rocks which they graze. The metal accumulation patterns indicate consistent enrichment of essential metals in soft tissue. Values of operculum to tissue ratio (OTR) and shell to tissue (STR) higher than unity in T. clavigera indicate that operculum had higher affinities for Pb, Mn and Se while shell had higher affinities for Co and Sr. In N. chameleon, values of OTR and STR higher than unity displayed that operculum and shell had similar higher affinities for Co and Sr and Cd, Co and Sr, respectively. Significant interspatial variations (p< 0.05 and p< 0.01) in trace metals were noted. Assessment of metal concentration with maximum permissible limits of toxic metals in food shown the values were well within safety levels, except for Zn in S. cucullata that need to be monitored.Keywords: heavy metals, intertidal mollusks, body parts, safety level Abstrak Perbezaan logam surih antara spesis, antara tisu dan antara kawasan dalam bahagian badan tertentu Saccostrea cucullata, Thais clavigera dan Nerita chameleon dari perairan pantai Johor timur telah dikaji. Logam yang menjadi perhatian termasuklah Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, Se dan Sr. Moluska bivalvia S. cucullata terbukti berpotensi menjadi bioindikator bagi Zn dan Cu manakala kedua-dua moluska gastropoda, T. clavigera bagi Cd dan Se, dan N. chameleon bagi Pb, Mn dan Sr. Kepekatan logam yang menonjol dari T. clavigera kemungkinan terhasil dari pemindahan biomagnifikasi dari S. cucullata yang dimakan manakala bagi N. chameleon, ia berkemungkinan terhasil dari tabiat pemakanan secara herbivor ke atas alga di atas batu. Corak pengumpulan logam menunjukkan kepekatan logam perlu yang konsisten dalam tisu lembut. Nilai ratio operculum kepada tisu (OTR) dan ratio kulit ke tisu (STR) lebih tinggi dari paduan dalam T. clavigera menunjukkan operculum mempunyai affiniti yang tinggi bagi Pb, Mn dan Se manakala kulit pula mempunyai affiniti yang tinggi bagi Co dan Sr. Dalam N. chameleon, nilai OTR dan STR lebih tinggi dari paduan menggambarkan bahawa operculum dan kulit mempunyai persamaan affiniti yang tinggi bagi Co dan Sr dan Cd, Co dan Sr, masing-masing. Variasi antara kawasan yang signifikan (p<0.05 and p<0.01) dalam logam surih telah dicatatkan. Pemeriksaan kepekatan logam dengan tahap maksimum yang dibenarkan bagi logam berat menunjukkan nilai masih lagi di bawah tahap sela...
