Abstract
The recognition that non-essential metals, such as mercury, cadmium and lead, could, upon entering aquatic environments, produce harmful effects to man, directly or through food chains, has resulted in studies directed towards the identification of potentially hazardous levels.This publication has 38 references indexed in Scilit:
