Environmental studies on pen shells species was conducted at Merambong Island and Merambong Seagrass shoal off South Western Johor coast, Malaysia. A total of 39 samples of pen shells were collected from two different stations during low tides. From the samples, four species of pen shells were identified. Among the 4 species, 3 species belonged to the genus Pinna (P.bicolor, P.deltodes, and P.atropurapurea) and one species was Atrina (A.vexillum). Seawater samples were collected during low tide (0-0.2m height) at four stations which located at Merambong Island and Merambong Seagrass Shoal. Concentration of heavy metal arsenic (As), cadminium (Cd), chromium (Cr), cooper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) were measured in water and soft tissues of the pen shells. The highest concentrations of heavy metal in water were As, Cu, and Hg in ranged between 0.100-0.142, 0.142-0.189, and 0.028-0.046 mg/L respectively. The highest metals were As, Cr and Hg in both of P.bicolor, P.deltodes, P.atropurapurea and A.vexillum.
