More marine pollution caused by dumping industrial waste into the river which empties into the sea. Heavy metals from industrial waste, speed up the process of decomposition in marine catches, by making the fish have a low acid so as to maintain the freshness of the fish is done by using formalin. The types of heavy metal often found in marine biota of the body such as Ag, Hg, Cu, and Pb. Heavy metals is an essential element for living organisms but if the amount exceeds the threshold can be toxic.
Sources of heavy metals that pollute the ocean waters are generally derived from natural or artificial sources. Natural sources such as heavy metals come from:
- Local rivers and the beach erosion caused by wave activity.
- Enter the deep ocean covering the metals are released by volcanic activity in the sea and the metals are released from particles / sediments from chemical processes.
- Input from the environment near the coast, including metals transported fish from the atmosphere as dust particles. While the source of heavy metals originating from man-made such as heavy metals are released by industrial processes metals, liquid organic fertilizer processing, paper industry and other industries.
