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 …

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 …

The uptake of metals from food and water sources by insects is thought to be additive. For a
given metal, the proportions taken up from water and food will depend both on the …

Much of the literature on trace metal concentrations in marine invertebrates contains lists of
data, with authors not in a position to comment on the significance of results. The reader …

This report briefly synthesizes technical literature on ecological and toxicological aspects of
arsenic in the environment, with special reference to natural resources. It is divided into a …

The uptake of trace metals from solution by crustaceans is often described as typically
following one of two routes; one passive, the other depending on active transport. In the …

We use published data on the different patterns of the bioaccumulation of zinc by three
crustaceans, the caridean decapod Palaemon elegans, the amphipod Orchestia …

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 …

In reviewing studies of trace metal uptake over the last 30 years, evidence is sought for
specific mechanisms controlling transepithelial metal uptake or loss, and their possible …

This chapter explores aspects that might assist in any understanding and appreciation of the
significance of heavy metal concentrations in marine invertebrates. Routes for the uptake of …
