Marine environments face significant threats from pollution, particularly in regions such as the Gulf of Mexico and the Persian Gulf. Due to runoffs in rivers and stormwater carry high levels of toxic elements and pollutants into these ecosystems, originating from sources like oil spills, coastal industries, municipal areas, and agricultural activities. Despite these concerns, the extent of contamination in marine wildlife remains uncertain and it eventually becomes dangerous when it affects human beings. This study aims to address this gap by proposing the use of blue crabs as indicators for monitoring toxic metal pollution in marine environments. Using samples collected from the Gulf of Mexico and the Persian Gulf, we analyzed blue crab specimens for toxic metal concentrations employing Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICPOES). Our comparative analysis examined the levels of toxic metals in blue crabs from both regions against maximum permissible limits established by international organizations including the World Health Organization, USDA, and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Our findings reveal distinct patterns of heavy metal contamination in crab samples, with variations observed between the Gulf of Mexico and the Persian Gulf. These results underscore the potential of blue crabs as sentinel species for monitoring toxic metal pollution in marine environments. This study contributes to advancing our understanding of the impacts of pollution on marine ecosystems and highlights the importance of further large-scale field studies to inform conservation and management efforts. Moreover, the study can also be beneficial in monitoring specific elements that are above the limit once the results are obtained. It can be broadened to locations around the world where many major industries are located and to monitor the species where their consumption is more as compared to other parts of the world. This will provide insight into developing tactics to prevent extensive contamination of water bodies.
