Bioconcentration of Cadmium and Nickel in Mud Clams (Polymesoda expansa) at Sungai Balok, Pahang

Toxicity and Bioconcentration of Cadmium and Copper in Artemia Urmiana Nauplii

Background: Artemia urmiana are small crustaceans that because of its non-selective filter feeder pattern potentially may absorb high level of heavy metals through their living environment. In this study, the effects of different levels of cadmium and copper on survival, catalase activity and metals bioconcentration rates in A. urmiana nauplii have been investigated. Methods: The research wa...

Resuspension of postlarval soft-shell clams Mya arenaria through disturbance by the mud snail Ilyanassa obsoleta

Transport and mortality of newly settled post larvae potentially have a large influence on the population dynamics and adult distributions of coastal benthic species, including the soft-shell clam Mya arenaria. Post-settlement transport typically occurs when boundary shear stresses are high enough to resuspend the surface sediments in which the small clams reside. The objective of the present s...

Bioaccumulation of lead, nickel and cadmium in the muscle, liver and skin of Otolithes ruber and Sphyraena forsteri

One of the major global concerns about the environment is the pollution of aquatic ecosystems by heavy metals. These elements contaminate aquatic environments and accumulate and concentrate at through bioaccumulation in the tissues of living organisms at higher levels of the food chain consumed by humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations of three heavy metals, lead, n...
