Description Concentration of heavy metals Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn in sea water, sediment and bivalve
samples from three stations was studied for one year along Tuticorin coast. The concentration was
in the order of Fe>Mn>Zn>Cu>Pb>Cd>Ni. Generally the concentration of Fe was very high in the
sediment and bivalves when compared to earlier studies from other areas along the Indian coast. High
concentration of Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb and Zn was observed during monsoon season. One way ANOVA
indicated statistically significant differences (p
