Abstract
The fresh water bivalves, Lamellidens corrianus, Lamellidens marginalis, and Indonaia caeruleus were exposed to chronic concentration of arsenic (0.1719ppm), cadmium (0.1284ppm), copper (0.033ppm), lead (1.50ppm), mercury (0.0443ppm) and zinc (1.858ppm) separately up to 30days in laboratory. Dry weight of each animal was used to calculate metal concentrations (μg/g) and the metal body burden (μg/individual). It was observed that lead (1235.4μg/g) and arsenic (37.9μg/g) concentration were highest in Lamellidens corrianus, zinc (3,032.3μg/g) was highest in Lamellidens marginalis, while mercury (5.87μg/g), cadmium (142μg/g) and copper (826.7μg/g) was highest in Indonaia caeruleus.
