Abstract

Study on heavy metal contaminants in sediments provide major role because they have longer residence time. Increased levels of heavy metals in water which originally required for various metabolic processes may turn out to be toxic to aquatic organisms. The metal will be absorbed in the sediment then accumulated into microorganisms through the food chain. The purpose of this study is to analyze the spatial concentration of heavy metals in aquaculture's sediments of in Porong River estuary. Firstly, this research was conducted by examined content of eight heavy metals in the sediment, then tested with ICP-MS instruments. Then, the calculation of some parameters was analyzed spatially with ArcGIS. IgeO
