Geochemestry and concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn) were measured in shallow subtidal sediments and in a comercial importance organism at the Mallorquín coastal lagoon, very important for the enviroment in departamento del Atlántico. Sediments and bivalves Corbula caribaea known as chipichipi was collected during the rainy and dry season. The sediments consist mainly of mud and show a strong concentration of organic matter (13%). The total heavy metal concentrations in sediments and tissues were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The sediments was collected only once time and the essential metals showed higher concentrations in the sediment that non-essential metals (Zn> Cu> Pb> Cd), however the contamination factor indicated absence or low degree of metal contamination. Zn as in sediment showed the highest concentrations in soft tissues for the two periods, Cu presented the highest value during the first sampling and was associated with the reproductive physiology of this specie. Cd had higher concentrations during the second sampling but Pb remained the lowest concentrations in all samples. The bioaccumulation factor showed that the species bioconcentrates significant traces of bioavailable Cd and Zn in the environment. This bioavailability was associated with salinity levels varied during the two periods sampled.Downloads
