The concentration of mercury in somecommercially important finfishes and shellfishes
from Ennore estuary which receives effluent from a chlor-alkali plant, has bccn measured.
The concentration registered in finfishes (Chanos chanos and Liza macrolepis), prawn (Penaeus
indicus) and edlble oyster (Crassosbrea madraensis) do not pose an imminent threat to the
human consumers or to the biota thcnrsclves. The distribution of mercury load exhibited
seasonality, the higher values being observed during monsoon period in all the organisms.
The mercury level observed in the biota is oystcr > prawn > finflshcs. The results indicate
the suitability of the oystcr, C. madrasensis as a scntincl organism for monitoring mercury
contamination in estuaries.
