摘要：The total arsenic (As) and As species were analyzed in 19 species of wild marine organisms collected from 12 locations in Daya Bay, China; additionally, both the levels of As in the seawater and sediments and the salinitywere investigated. The greatest level of As was found in crabs (13.4–35.1 μg/g), followed by shrimps (8.52–27.6 μg/g), benthic fish (3.45–28.6 μg/g), and pelagic fish (1.22–5.23 μg/g). There were significantly positive correlations between the As concentrations in the benthic fish Callionymus richardsonii/shrimp Metapenaeopsis palmensis and those in sediments, indicating that As levels in them were highly dependent on those in the sediments. Arsenobetaine (AsB) (87.3–99.8%) was the most dominant form of As found in all marine organisms. In benthic fish and shrimp, the bioaccumulation of As, especially AsB, was positively correlated with the salinity of the seawater, indicating that the salinity could control the transfer of As. The calculated hazard quotients (HQs) of the inorganic As in the marine organisms were all b1; thus, there was no apparent health hazard through the consumption of wild marine organisms.
