The lethal level of salinity for water hyacinth was about 6.0 ‐ 8.0 % (about 20–25 % of sea water). Some element contents of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) decreased with increasing salinity in culture water. Especially the contents of P, Si, Fe, Al, Mn, Mo in both tops and roots, Ca.Cu.Ti.V in roots, and Ba in tops changed at relatively low salinity levels. On the other hand, the contents of Ba, Sr, V in tops, and Ca, Si, Ti in roots increased with increasing salinity in water. It is assumed that the metal concentration of water hyacinth changes quickly after exposure to salinity for relatively short time.
