Total contents and chemical speciation of Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, Mo, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, V, W, Tl, Bi and U in size-fractionated (<32, 32–63 and >63μm) core sediments from Jiaozhou Bay were investigated to reveal their responses to anthropogenic activities. Metal contents showed a decreasing trend with increasing grain sizes. However, the loadings of metal fraction on <32, 32–63 and >63μm grain sizes were 16%, 47% and 37%, respectively. Anthropogenic fluxes and enrichment factors of metals in >63μm fraction were closely linked to anthropogenic activities, with an obvious increase in upper 27cm (1998–2015) and a slight decrease in 2009year. Metals (especially for Cd, Co, Cu and Ni) in >63μm fraction were more easily released, with the highest percentage of acid soluble form and lowest residual form. Thus, the size fraction of >63μm cannot be ignored.
