Abstract
Evels of Cd, Cu, Co, Ni, Pb, Fe and Zn were estimated in coastal water, sediment and soft tissues of the limpet Patella sp. from 8 stations in Suez Bay (northern part of the Gulf of Suez) during 1997- 1998. The results indicate that, the land-based activities and the ships waiting in the area are the main sources of metal pollution in the bay. Variation of metals in water, sediment and Patella sp. was not substantial among different stations and during various seasons. Station VII was the only site that displayed maximum values of Pb in water sediments and Patella sp. (3.448 g/g, 91.16 g/g and 44.879 g/g, respectively).
