This survey was conduct to proffer basic data for the contents of heavy metal in Eptatretus burgeri. The concentration of heavy metals (Cr, As, Pb, Cd, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn) was carried out the test by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer from May, 1989 to June, 1989. The samples were collected at imported leather factory and Jagalchi fishery market located in Pusan. The order of heavy metal concentration in meat was Fe>Zn>Mn>Cu> Pb > Cr > As > Cd. The concentration of Chromium (Cr) was the highest in complete finished skin of all samples with 254.3±201.9 mg/kg (p<0.01). There was no significant between heavy metal concentration of meat which imported, coastal fishery and marketing Eptatretus bugeri.
