Safe ecosystems have a significant influence on the composition of sustainable aquaculture products, which serve as the foundation of every food web and are the responsibility of marine life, a critical requirement for sustained global quantitative and qualitative development. Currently, the distribution, speciation, environmental bioaccumulation, and toxicity assessment of heavy metals (HMs) in aquatic environments are constantly growing. Due to their high toxicity and non-biodegradability, PMs are harmful environmental pollutants that can be transferred and biomagnified through food chains that seriously threaten human health and have a negative influence on marine biota. With this, this bibliographic review aims to present the main recent research about the contamination of PMs in the aquatic ecosystem and its effects on the environment and human health, presenting the main environmental remediation strategies used for the benefit of the planet.
