Abstract:
Human are easily contact with natural resources and some of marine natural organisms
were being consume by human as daily diet. One example of marine organism that
become favourite to human is bivalve and easily being captured in upper layer of mud
in mangrove or semi-mangrove area. However, the scientists had proven that the
bivalve is the organism that the bivalve is significantly inhale or 'consume' whatever
the food pass by through the water column. Due to this behaviour, the safety of the
consumption of bivalve or marine organisms are argued by people as same as the
researcher from the result of unknown sources of food that taken by the bivalve. As the
bivalve is acceptable for doing metal toxicity analysis, it is used to know the pollution
status of the area of study.
