ABSTRACT
Sanmen Bay plays a crucial role in economic shellfish aquaculture in China, yet few studies exist on the arsenic speciation of shellfish from this area. In this study, arsenic speciation of 11 cultured shellfish species from Sanmen Bay were analyzed by HPLC/ICP-MS. The results showed that organic arsenic particularly AsB, was the dominant arsenic species, constituting 21 %-71 % of the total arsenic. Conversely, the levels of inorganic arsenic were relatively low, ranging from 0.007 to 0.093 mg/kg, only accounted for 0.2 %-5.7 % of the total arsenic. There was no significant level correlation between inorganic arsenic and total arsenic in Sanmen Bay shellfish, so the concentration of inorganic arsenic did not increase with the total arsenic. Overall, the present study firstly revealed the arsenic speciation of shellfish from Sanmen Bay and also suggested that the proportion of inorganic arsenic should be considered in the revision of arsenic limit values.
