The hyperaccumulation of trace elements is a widely characterized phenomenon in plants,
bacteria, and fungi, but has received little attention in animals. However, there are numerous …

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 …

This chapter addresses the interpretation of accumulated trace metal concentrations in one
component of the biota—in this case aquatic invertebrates. Aquatic invertebrates represent …

Metals have been present in the environment since the origin of our planet. Life has evolved
in their presence, incorporating many of them in essential molecules and metabolic …

Over the past decades, comparative physiology and biochemistry approaches have played
a significant role in understanding the complexity of metal bioaccumulation in aquatic …

Trace metals such as iron, copper, zinc and manganese play essential roles in various
biological processes in fish, including development, energy metabolism and immune …

This article delves into the intricate dynamics of metals and metalloids (MEs and MLOIDs)
bioaccumulation in seafood, with a focus on mobilization processes and interactive effects in …

Crustaceans, like all aquatic invertebrates, take up and accumulate metals from a wide
range of sources and the trace metal concentrations within their tissues and bodies show …

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 …

Metal Metabolism in Aquatic Environments is a synthesis of recent developments in the field
of metal ecotoxicology and features a number of contemporary issues arising from the …
