[Analysis] Organism muscle samples were collected to evaluate the accumulation of heavy metals in edible tissue. [Species-Number of Samples] Fish, shrimp, crabs, oysters Approx – 75 fish 5 crabs 10 oysters 5 shrimp [Objectives] 
The levels of metals and organics in the muscle tissue of fish, crabs, shrimp and oysters can tell us when and if it is safe to consume the seafood. Over exposure to organic toxins can be lethal to fish; Data collected from live fish can be compared to results found in scientific literature to determine overall health of fish; The data can also be used to make a comparative analysis of the degree of uptake for different types of fish, i.e. herbivores, omnivores, piscivors and detritavors.
