Abstract:
The concentration of heavy metal; Chromium, Copper, Manganese, Nickle,
Cadmium, Lead and Zinc were determined in the sampl� of shrimps, sediment, food
pellet and water. Penaeus monodon farms were analyzed sampled from Marang,
Terengganu while Litopenaeus vannamei were analyzed sampled from Sedil� Johor
and Setiu, Terengganu. Sediment was sampled using Van veen grab. Water was
preserved with 6()0/o Niric Acid and put into ice chest with shrimp sample. The most
notable record of heavy metal concentration in shrimp was shown within Setiu with
the order; Zn > Cr> Cu > Ni > Mn > Pb > Cd. Sedili showed high load of Zn > Pb >
Cu > Cr > Ni > Mn > Cd and the least of heavy metal concentration was recorded in
Marang with the order; Zn > Cu > Cr > Pb > Ni > Mn > Cd. The highest and least
concentrated heavy metal in Setiu was 6.819µg.g·
1
for Cr while the least of3.025µg.g·
1
for Cd. L. vannamei showed higher accumulation of Cr, Mn, Ni and Pb than P.
monodon. Setiu had highest heavy metal concentration within food for Cu, Cr, Mn,
Pb, Ni and Cd.
