All aquatic invertebrates take up and accumulate trace metals whether essential or not, and
subsequent body concentrations of trace metals show enormous variability across metals …

The literature on metallothioneins (MT) and metallothionein-like proteins (MTLP) in aquatic
invertebrates is large and increasing, and yet inconsistencies and confusion remain, not …

Biomonitors can be used to establish geographical and/or temporal variations in the
bioavailabilities of heavy metals in the marine environment, offering time-integrated …

A contaminated aquatic environment may end up in the food chain and pose risks to tourist
health in a tourist destination. To assess the health risk for tourists that visit St. Martine …

Aquatic invertebrates take up and accumulate trace metals whether essential or non-
essential, all of which have the potential to cause toxic effects. Subsequent tissue and body …

There is increasing recognition of the quantitative importance of metal accumulation from
dietary pathways in different marine food webs. With a simple kinetic model requiring …

This extensive handbook presents up-to-date coverage of significant developments in
estuarine and marine pollution. Multidisciplinary in approach, Practical Handbook of …

As employed here, the term biomonitors denotes those aquatic species which accumulate
trace metals in their tissues and may therefore be analysed to monitor the bioavailability of …

The bioconcentration factor (BCF) and bioaccumulation factor (BAF) are used as the criteria
for bioaccumulation in the context of identifying and classifying substances that are …

Many aspects of metal accumulation in aquatic invertebrates (ie toxicity, tolerance and
trophic transfer) can be understood by examining the subcellular partitioning of accumulated …
