The invention relates to the field of 
aquatic product detection, and discloses a method for detecting the heavy 
metal content of an 
aquatic product. The method comprises the following steps: 1), pretreating: removing inedible inner organs, 
fish skin, fish scales, fish bones and other hard tissues of the 
aquatic product, then crushing remaining tissues into minced meat, adding an aqueous Triton X-100 solution and a magnetic heavy 
metal adsorbent, mixing and stirring; 2), performing heavy 
metal extraction; 3), calibrating a 
standard curve; 4), performing heavy metal content detection. By the heavy metal detection method, strong acid and a 
microwave digestion instrument are not required to be used for 
digestion, operation is simple, safety and environment friendliness are achieved, the effectof enriching 
heavy metals in the aquatic product is good, the magnetic heavy metal adsorbent can be reused, remaining impurities of the aquatic product have no influence on a detection sample duringthe detection, and a detection result is accurate, so that the heavy metal detection method is a very accurate, efficient and environment-friendly detection method and has a practical significance inimproving the 
food safety.
