Through deteriorating the quality of shrimp, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and heavy metals have become threatened to food safety. The study was conducted to explore shrimp and their environments for antibiotic resistance genes of V. parahaemolyticus and perform spectrophotometry of shrimp muscles for heavy metals and their human health risk assessment. In total, 130 samples (shrimp, water, and sediment) were aseptically collected from 27 ponds in four areas of Khulna and Satkhira districts where the number of water and sediments was corresponded to the number of ponds and the number of shrimps differed from pond to pond. V. parahaemolyticus were detected by cultural, staining, biochemical, and molecular techniques targeting groEL, tetA, tetB, tetC, and bla
