Determination of ten metal levels in 160 squid samples caught from offshore and the oceanic fishing locations by ICP-MS was made. The mean metal concentration in the squid muscles decreasing in the order of: Zn, Fe, Cu, As, Mn, Se, Cd, Pb, Cr and Ni. Metal concentrations in the squids were assessed for human uses according to provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) and provisional tolerable daily intake (PTDI)·The estimated hazard quotients for the individual metals from squids were found in accordance to the following sequence: As > Cd > Cu > Se > Cr > Zn > Pb > Fe > Mn > Ni, with the greatest hazard upon human health coming primarily from As (1.34 < HQ < 1.73 in the Loliginidae from two offshore sampling sites and the Humboldt squid from the eastern Pacific Ocean). In regards to the heavy metal pollution of the coastal sea areas, the squids captured from offshore sites might pose a higher potential health risk to consumers compared to those from the ocean.
