Concentrations of heavy metals (Hg, Cd and Pb) were determined in internal organs and
nest contents of green turtles Chelonia mydas and loggerhead turtles Caretta caretta from …

Heavy metal concentrations in the tissues of marine turtles are presented. The most
frequently monitored elements are mercury, cadmium and lead; and the tissues mainly …

Cadmium, lead, copper, and zinc were measured in tissues of 21 loggerhead turtles (Caretta
caretta) from the southwestern Mediterranean coastline. Mean concentrations (dry weight) of …

Thirty-five specimens of Caretta caretta were collected dead along the Adriatic Sea coast
from the Po Delta to the Reno mouth (Italy). Turtles were classified into four size categories …

Several studies have been carried out concerning metal accumulation in sea turtles from
different areas of the world, such as Hawaii (Aguirre et al., 1994), Japan (Sakai et al., 2000a …

Cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se) and zinc (Zn) were determined in
the liver, kidney and muscle of 29 loggerhead turtles, Caretta caretta, from the South …

This study investigated the subcellular distribution of Cd, Cu and Zn in liver and kidney of
green turtles (Chelonia mydas) stranded along the Italian coast of the South Adriatic Sea …

Non-essential toxic metals are environmental pollutants that contaminate the marine
ecosystem due to their extensive use and long-range transport (by rivers and air). Their …

Among marine mammals, pilot whales (Globicephala melas) are characterized by high
levels of tissular cadmium (Cd). In this species, squids are used as a major food item …
