Abstract: | Aquaculture is currently one of the most rapidly growing production sectors in Vietnam. This publication describes the concentrations of heavy metals in the farming environment and some aquaculture species in the Khanh Hoa Province in Vietnam. The concentration of total As in the sediments ranged from 0.07 to 0.64 mg/kg, whereas the concentration of Hg varied from <0.0005 to 0.56 mg/kg. The corresponding concentration span for Cd and Pb, were 0.001–0.069 and 0.016–0.078 mg/kg, respectively. The concentrations of As in the aquaculture organisms spanned from 0.14 to 1.03 mg/kg. For Hg the concentrations varied from 0.1 to 0.45 mg/kg, for Cd from 0.02 to 0.10 mg/kg and for Pb from 0.07 to 0.37 mg/kg. |
