This study aimed to assess the levels of heavy metal contamination in Anadara tuberculosa from a protected area in Ecuador. Ten samples were collected from a 50 m² area, dissected, and analyzed for nine heavy metals (As, Cd, Hg, Pb, Ni, Cr, Cu, Zn, and V) using inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The results revealed significant bioaccumulation of several toxic elements, with maximum concentrations ranging from 2.37 mg/kg for Cr to 73.70 mg/kg for Zn. These elevated levels raise concerns about the potential health risks to both the bivalves themselves and human consumers. Continuous and comprehensive monitoring is crucial to identify and address the environmental impacts associated with heavy metal pollution.
