Water, sediments, and aquatic organism samples were collected from Taihu Lake in China. Four types of typical heavy metal (Cu, Zn, Cd, and Cr) were analyzed to evaluate their concentrations and trophic transfer in food webs. The stable nitrogen isotope δ¹⁵N was used to investigate the trophic interactions. The concentrations of Cd and Zn in the sediments of Taihu Lake exceeded Level I of the China National Quality Standards for Soil. Zn accumulation was identified to increase with the trophic level. The bioconcentration of the four heavy metals in aquatic organisms was evident, with the invertebrates showing the highest bioconcentration factor in the food webs. Several biomarkers were investigated, including metallothionein (MT), malondialdehyde, and Na⁺/K⁺-adenosine triphosphatase activity. A positive correlation relationship was found between the MT content and heavy metal accumulation in organism tissues.
