A study was conducted to determine the presence of trace elements and heavy metals in marine macrophytes belonging to chlorophyceae and phaeophyceae collected from Okha, India, the North-eastern Arabian Sea. The result shows there is a mark of difference in the metal content among the seaweeds of different groups.In green seaweeds i.e chlorophyceae the trend of mineral content was FeAlZnAsPbCuCr and Cd, whereas the trend in phaeophyceae was FeAlZnAsCuPbCrCd. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Total Hazard Index (THI) were 1, the Metal Pollution Index (MPI) were 0.83 (Ulva reticulata) to 7.39 (Padina tetrastromatica) . The​ result of MPI indicates that there is very-low to low contamination of heavy metals in the seaweeds. The cardiovascular indices of lipid viz. AI (Index of atherogenicity) (0.27 - 1.0), TI (Index of thrombogenicity) (0.13 – 0.41) were low and HH (Hypocholesterolomic/Hypercholesterolemic) (2.38 – 4.15) & UI (Unsaturation Index) (183.09 - 236) was high. The overall result indicates that the seaweed studied can be recommended for consumptions.
