To measure the heavy metal contents of marine invertebrates, we collected 239 individuals representing 52 species from the eastern (Pohang), western (Gunsan), and southern (Tongyeong) coasts of Korea: 34 species of molluscan shellfish (Gastropoda and Bivalvia), 6 species of Cephalopoda, 8 species of Crustacea, and 4 other species. The mean levels of the heavy metals in the samples taken from the edible portion of each Gastropoda were high in the order of Zn (21.471 ㎍/g), Cu (4.115 ㎍/g), Mn (0.868 ㎍/g), Ni (0.254 ㎍/g), Pb (0.238 ㎍/g), Cd (0.154 ㎍/g), and Cr (0.110 ㎍/g). The heavy metals in the Bivalvia were high in the order of Zn (35.655 ㎍/g), Mn (5.500 ㎍/g), Cu (3.129 ㎍/g), Cd (0.423 ㎍/g), Ni (0.402 ㎍/g), Cr (0.233 ㎍/g), and Pb (0.232 ㎍/g). The heavy metals in the Cephalopoda were high in the order of Zn (18.380 ㎍/g), Cu (3.594 ㎍/g), Mn (0.630 ㎍/g), Cr (0.150 ㎍/g), Pb (0.068 ㎍/g), Cd (0.034 ㎍/g), and Ni (0.030 ㎍/g). The heavy metals in the Crustacea were high in the order of Zn (25.333 ㎍/g), Cu (9.042 ㎍/g), Mn (0.659 ㎍/g), Cr (0.592 ㎍/g), Cd (0.207 ㎍/g), Pb (0.126 ㎍/g), and Ni (0.094 ㎍/g). Therefore, the mean levels of the harmful heavy metals (Cd and Pb) in marine invertebrates were high in the order of Bivalvia>Crustacea＝Gastropoda>Cephalopoda. The average daily intakes of the heavy metals from the fisheries products were as follows: Cd (6.88 ㎍), Cr (19.13 ㎍), Cu (137.02 ㎍), Mn (156.13 ㎍), Ni (11.39 ㎍), Pb (7.01 ㎍) and Zn (1,025.94 ㎍). The average weekly intakes of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn from the fisheries products were 11.47%, 0.46%, 3.27% and 1.71% respectively, as compared with PTWI (Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intakes) established by FAO/WHO Expert Committee for Food Safety Evaluation.
