  abstract = {{T}his study aimed to evaluate distribution of selected heavy metals ({C}u, {Z}n, {P}b, {C}r and {C}d) in clams {M}eretrixlyrata (clam), suspended particulate matter ({SPM}), water and sediment in the downstream area of {S}aigon - {D}ong {N}ai ({SG}-{DN}) {R}iver. {D}uring {M}arch to {S}eptember 2015, the contamination of those metals at four sampling sites from fresh water to brackish water zone and {M}eretrix {L}yrata clams, which were cultured at many clam farms at {C}an {T}hanh beach at {C}an {G}io {D}istrict, were monitored. {T}he concentrations of metals in clam samples were also determined at a comparative sampling site at {T}an {T}hanh beach ({T}ien {G}iang province). {G}enerally, the order of metal concentrations in all environmental components along the {SG}-{DN} {R}iver was {Z}n>{C}u>{C}r>{P}b>{C}d while the metal concentrations in different environmental components at {C}an {T}hanh area were in different orders. {A}ccording to the results, the increasing tendency of only {C}u, {Z}n and {C}d concentrations in {SPM} and sediment from river upstream to estuary were found. {A}ll trace metal concentrations in clam samples were higher than in water and smaller than in sediment and {SPM} at {C}an {T}hanh. {O}nly {C}r concentrations in medium and small clam samples had positive significant correlations with those in sediment and {SPM} (medium size only). {I}n comparison with concentrations of trace metals in water, sediment, {SPM} and clams at {T}an {T}hanh, those at {C}an {T}hanh were higher.},
