Abstract

The existence of heavy metal in aquatic environment gives negative effects in growth, reproduction and survival rate of aquatic biota. Lead (Pb) and Cadmium (Cd) are source of pollution. Currently, the shell is indicated as aquatic pollution. This research was aimed to study the effect of different filter in depuration on the content of Pb and Cd in Anadara antiquate and determine the best filter medium, which is able to reduce the content of Pb and Cd. The research was designed using completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 5 replications. Depuration process was conducted by using filter of Gracillaria sp, zeolit and active carbon. The content of heavy metal was examined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The results revealed that different filter affected the content of Pb and Cd in A. antiquate. Active carbon filter exhibited the reduction of Pb and Cd of 31.5% and 28.56% respectively, it was the best filter medium used in depuration, compared to zeolite, Gracillaria sp and without filter.
