Sampling for all aquatic organisms and water quality was carried out during the wet and dry season (January 2017 until December 2017). Organisms were collected by using gill nets. The aquatic organisms sample was digested by using acid digestion method. Heavy metals in the organisms and water were analysed using Inductive Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP MS).

For fish, A. sumatranus (0.265, 16.982, 0.325, 0.002, 0.055, 1.321, 29.733, 22.524 mg/kg respectively) accumulates more Cu, Al, Ni, Cd, Pb, As, Fe, and Zn compare to other fishes. The detected levels of heavy metals in the Sungai Balok were at natural level (Class I) based on National Water Quality Standard (NWQS). Statistical analysis showed there are significant different (p<0.05) in the concentration heavy metals in muscle and gill organisms during wet and dry season. Heavy metals concentration in aquatic organisms was below the permissible limit of World Health Organization (WHO, 1982), Malaysia Food Regulation (MFR, 1983) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA, 2001). Level of all heavy metals in water sample during wet and dry season is at natural level (Class I) based on National Water Quality Standards (NWQS).

summary Sungai Balok was located near to the Gebeng industrial site and flows pass through the wide industrial facilities. It also located near the Kuantan Port that was temporary storage of bauxite mining. A hundreds of fish were found floating on the river and stranded on the bank at Sungai Balok. Due to this problem, the numbers of fish caught in the area are continuously declined and cause affected the fishermen livelihood.
