Abstract:Between November 2006 and July 2007, we determined the heavy metal content in Helice tridens crabs inhabiting the tidal flat of Yancheng. The results showed that the accumulation of the essential elements Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, and Ni was higher than that of the toxic element Pb; the specific relationship between elemental concentrations was Fe > Zn > Cu > Mn > Ni > Pb. We analyzed the seasonal distribution of the heavy metal content in the crabs, and found that there were seasonal differences in the contents of the six heavy metals. The seasonal distributions of the elements were in the following order: Fe content in spring > summer > autumn; Cu and Mn content in autumn > summer > spring; Zn, Ni, and Pb content in summer > spring > autumn. Thus, it was considered that temperature is not the principal factor influencing the accumulative rate of the heavy metals in H. tridens individuals. For example, there were certain differences in the heavy metal content in the crabs collected from different sampling points in autumn. In the cluster analysis, ten sampling points were approximately classified into three groups, which represented the coastal salt-industry culture area, the nature-reserve central area, and the estuarine industrial water area. The results of the cluster analysis suggested that the pollutants in the crabs’ habitats influenced the accumulation of heavy metals in their bodies. Moreover, we compared related data and found that Cu accumulation in the bodies of the crabs inhabiting the tidal flat of Yancheng was relatively low while the accumulation of Zn, Mn, Ni, and Pb was relatively high. | |||
