parasite interaction, bio-indicators to track the influence and accumulation of heavy metals …

The potentially bio-available heavy metals were assessed in the bulk and the three fine
fraction sediments (Ø 3, Ø 4, and Ø 5) from 24 stations across Lake Burullus. We found the …

Several sediment samples in Lake Burullus have been affected by the discharges of heavy
metals through different drains. The study aimed to analyze the chemical speciation of these …

Abstract The Burullus Lagoon north Nile Delta of Egypt is a UNESCO-protected area.

A study of benthic foraminiferal assemblages is carried out on 30 sediment samples
collected from Lake Burullus to assess the response of the benthic foraminifera to the …

Lake Burullus is an important source of fish production in Egypt; it produces 20.5% of the
Egyptian fisheries' production. There is intense controversy about the heavy metal pollution …

Lagoons and estuaries are transition spaces between earth and sea. Beyond their expanse,
geographic repartition, geomorphological, hydroclimatic and ecobiological diversity and …

Concentrations of trace metals (Zn, Fe, Ni, Mn, Cu, Cd, Co and Cr) and fluoride were
determined in different organs (brain, muscle, liver and skin) of some economically important …
