Consequently, insufficient carbonate ions present in the ocean can make building and maintaining shells and other calcium carbonate structures more difficult. Other than that, lower pH of the ocean menaces the marine life such as corals, mollusks, and crustaceans as they face a great challenge when their calcium carbonate shells or skeletons dissolve in the acidic ocean. According to Rodolfo-Metalpa et al. (2011), corals, mollusks and other marine life have shown decrease in skeletal growth due…

Metals in Shellfish for the Population in Nha Trang City, Vietnam” (Nguyen et al, 2013), the concentration range of Cd in shellfish is 0.013 – 0.056 mg/kg. About the pollution of heavy metals, the anabiosis of Cd was 97%. In gastropods, cephalopods, crustaceans and bivalves, the concentrations (mg/kg) of Cd in 5 sampled months were 0.033 – 0.072, 0.012 – 0.013, 0.019 – 0.034 and 0.032 – 0.073 in the range, and the mean concentrations (mg/kg) were 0.054, 0.013, 0.026 and 0.056.
