Perkembangan wilayah Perairan Danau Aneuk Laot cukup pesat dengan berbagai macam aktivitas seperti adanya restoran, tempat wisata maupun kegiatan-kegiatan di sekitar pantai seperti pemukiman, pertanian dan peternakan. Adanya logam berat di perairan, berbahaya baik secara langsung terhadap kehidupan kerang, maupun efeknya secara tidak langsung terhadap kesehatan manusia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kandungan logam berat timbal (Pb) yang terakumulasi dalam daging kerang yang didapatkan dari perairan sebagai bioindikator pencemaran perairan Danau Aneuk Laot. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2022. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan di tiga titik stasiun yaitu stasiun 1 (area dermaga wisata), stasiun 2 (area peternakan) dan pada stasiun 3 (area perkebunan). Sampel didestruksi basah kemudian dianalisis menggunakan SSA. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kandungan logam berat timbal (Pb) yang terkandung dalam daging kerang Anodonta sp pada stasiun 1,2 dan 3 yaitu 0,0002 mg/kg. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa daging kerang tidak melebihi baku mutu SNI 7387-2009 yaitu 1,5 mg/kg dan menurut Badan Pengawasan Obat dan Makanan Republik Indonesia (BPOM) yaitu 0,5 mg/kg.

The development of the waters of Lake Aneuk Laot is quite rapid with various activities such as restaurants, tourist attractions and activities around the coast such as settlements, agriculture and animal husbandry. The presence of heavy metals in the waters is harmful both directly to the life of shellfish and indirectly to human health. This study aims to determine the content of the heavy metal lead (Pb) which accumulates in mussel meat obtained from the waters as a bioindicator of water pollution in Lake Aneuk Laot. This research was conducted in December 2022. Sampling was carried out at three station points, namely station 1 (tourist dock area), station 2 (breeding area) and at station 3 (plantation area). Wet digested samples were then analyzed using AAS. The results showed that the content of heavy metal lead (Pb) contained in the meat of clams Anodonta sp at stations 1, 2 and 3 was 0.0002 mg/kg. These results indicate that the scallop meat does not exceed the quality standard of SNI 7387-2009, which is 1.5 mg/kg and according to the Food and Drug Control Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BPOM), which is 0.5 mg/kg. Keywords: Anodonta sp, Lake Aneuk Laot, Heavy Metal Pb.
