The mangrove plays an important role for the man since prehistoric times because of the abundance of food resources it provides, in addition to being a natural breeding that serves as a shelter for several species of animals, including uçá-crab, which is great importance for the maintenance of this ecosystem. However, this environment is the final destination of many pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The aim of this work is to develop and validate a method using the extraction technique for matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for the determination of priority PAH in hepatopancreas of uçá-crab (Ucides cordatus). The best extraction conditions were obtained using 0.5 g hepatopancreas, 1.5 g florisil as a dispersant and 0.5 g sodium sulfate as the drying agent, along with 0.5 g of C18 as an auxiliary adsorbent, and eluting with 10 mL of acetonitrile. The analytical validation was performed from the parameters: selectivity; linearity, which was estimated from the correlation coefficient, with values greater than 0.990 for all PAH in a concentration range of 5 ng mL-1 to 100 ng mL-1; limits of detection and quantification in the intervals of 0.2 to 3.0 ng g-1 and 0.6 to 9,8 ng g-1 respectively; accuracy and precision, with recovery values between 60-111% and coefficients of variation in the 1-19% range for concentration levels of 10, 25 and 50 ng mL-1; and robustness, which was assessed by external standard, being robust for most of the HPA tested, with the exception of naphthalene. For the application of validated method were collected uçá-crab from mangroves located in the Gameleiro rivers (P1), Vaza-Barris (P2), Poxim (P3) and Sergipe (P4). At point P3 found a concentration of 26.6 ng g -1 of benzo[a]anthracene , which is considered as "probably carcinogenic". Mangrove sediments were also collected the same points and extracted by a method already validated, which is based on ultrasound extraction, and analyzed by GC/MS. The concentration values found for ΣPAH ranged from 12.5 to 813.6 ng g-1 of dry sediment.
