College of the Environment & Ecology Xiamen University Xiamen China Abstract To study the pollution status quo of heavy metals in coral reef ecosystem in Hainan Island concentrations of heavy metals including Cr Mn Cu Zn As Pb and Hg in wild fish were determined. Single factor pollution index P i was employed to evaluate the heavy metal pollution level. The results showed that enriched degree of the heavy metals in fish can be ranked from high to low as Cr > As > Mn > Hg > Zn > Cu > Pb heavy metals prefer to be accumulated in gill and viscera. Obvious bioaccumulation of Cr and As in fish of coral reef ecosystem was observed. P i indicated that coral reef ecosystem in Hainan Island has been heavily polluted by Cr and moderately polluted by As. Other metals have shown no pollution or slight pollution.
