<![CDATA[This study aims to determine the quality of the waters of Sungsang, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province based on several water quality parameters and determine the level of lead accumulation of heavy metals (Pb) in the white shrimp network (Penaeus merguiensis) to the abiotic environment (water and sediment) based on the value of Bioconcentration Factor (BCF). This research is expected to be able to contribute to the calculation of Ocean Health Index (OHI) as an important indicator for the ongoing assessment of marine health that can be used as a database in making marine policy. Based on the results of the study obtained the results of the heavy metal content of Pb in water and sediments in the waters of Sungsang have not exceeded the quality standards set by South Sumatra Governor Regulation No. 16 of 2005 and based on standard sediment quality guidelines for metals and associated levels of concern to be used in doing assessments of sediment quality in 2003 and according to the IACD / CEDA (International Association of Draging Companies / Central Dreging Association) in 1997. Lead metal concentrations contained in white shrimp produced from three locations have exceeded the limits set by the Head of BPOM RI No HK.00.06.1.52.4011 in 2009. Based on the value of Bioconcentration Factor (BCF), the absorption of Pb in the white shrimp network (Penaeus merguiensis) to its abiotic environment at the three research sites in the waters of Sungsang, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra Province shows a low accumulative level.]]>
