Research was held in the estuary of the river Bach Dang (Dongbay community, Rakhtay district, Hai Phong, Vietnam) in June, 2012 - May, 2013. Concentration of lead was studied in water, suspended solids and bottom sediment. Clam beach (natural breeding environment of Meretrix lyrata ) was inspected regularly, every month. Water samples were taken 6 times from the bottom layer 10 cm down the bottom, once per 3 hours in each of 12 investigated zones. Bottom sediment samples were taken at the depth 2 cm. The findings show that lead accumulates mainly in suspended solids (23.3 mg/kg) and in bottom sediment (14.31 mg/kg), in water it is in small quantities (0.003 mg/kg). Analysis of bottom sediment samples taken in different places showed that they have even leadcontent, lead is distributed uniformly, localization of contaminations is not found. The results obtained can be assumed as the basis for investigating lead accumulation and its excretion by clam Meretrix lyrata organisms in the natural habitat.

Concentration of mercury was investigated in the flesh and shell of two species of benthic mollusc, Crassostrea gasar and Tympanotonus fuscatus and in water and sediment from Makoko Creek, adjacent to the Lagos Lagoon between January to September 2019. Values obtained for physicochemical parameters in Makoko Creek (water temperature- 28.92±0.1°C; pH- 7.73±0.02; salinity- 14.23±0.05 ppt; dissolved oxygen- 5.34±0.02 mg/l; biological oxygen demand- 7.780±0.1 mg/l and chemical oxygen demand- 12.34±0.02 mg/l) were within the acceptable levels for survival, metabolism and physiology of aquatic organism. The concentration of mercury followed decreasing order as sediment >water >flesh >shell across locations for both species. For all the tested samples of C. gasar and T. fuscatus, biowater accumulation factor in flesh and shell were higher than those of bio-sediment accumulation factor. The coefficients of variance (CV %) in shells were lower than those of the flesh for both investigated mollusc species. It was shown that mercury contents of flesh or shells of C. gasar and T. fuscatu are directly affected by those of water and bottom sediment. J. Bio-Sci. 29(1): 143-151, 2021 (June)
