Abstract
⺠The sediments in Hailing Bay, a key maricultural zone, were polluted by heavy metals. ⺠The aquafarming zone was significantly more polluted than the non-aquafarming zone. ⺠Most metals in the sediments, except Cd, were mostly present in the residual fraction. ⺠The ecological risk of the polluted sediments stemmed mainly from Cd, As, Cu and Pb. ⺠Aquafarming activities were one of the major sources of heavy metals in Hailing Bay.
