“…We found significant spatial and temporal variations in heavy metal concentrations in marine plants as previous spatial studies has shown in the region (Páez-Osuna et al 2000;Sánchez-Rodríguez et al 2001;Rodriguez-Castañeda et al 2006, Rodríguez-Meza et al 2008 (Zaytsev et al 2003). These levels of Cd in seaweeds has not been observed in the Gulf of California studied populations but strong species and spatial variations where observed (Páez-Osuna et al 2000;Sánchez-Rodríguez et al 2001;Rodriguez-Castañeda et al 2006).…”

“…These levels of Cd in seaweeds has not been observed in the Gulf of California studied populations but strong species and spatial variations where observed (Páez-Osuna et al 2000;Sánchez-Rodríguez et al 2001;Rodriguez-Castañeda et al 2006). The differences in heavy metal concentrations that we found in the seaweeds did not generally correspond with patterns of those elements previously observed in the sediment from the same region or seaweed species (Rodríguez-Meza et al 2008), contrary to the studied sites in the Gulf of California near a mine (Rodriguez-Castañeda et al 2006) or near industrial ports (Páez-Osuna et al 2000;Sánchez-Rodríguez et al 2001;Rodriguez-Castañeda et al 2006). This finding, together with the observed species differences, suggests that the metabolic condition and lifecycle stage of the individual species might influence metal uptake and accumulation (Lobban and Wynne 1981).…”

“…It was not possible to compare between the same species of algae (A. utricularis), due to the large number of samples below detection (80%). In the Agibampo lagoon on the Pacific coast of Mexico, an area considered to be free of contamination, a Ni concentration of 3.7 lg g -1 dry weight was reported for E. linza (Páez-Osuna et al 2000). This value was higher than the 2.67 lg g -1 dry weight concentration of V found for Enteromorpha sp.…”

“…However, Hg data in these organisms are scarce and the present study constitues the first report for the Southeast Gulf of California. Existing literature for the area is concerned with the existence of other metals in Enteromorpha clathrata (Pa´ez-Osuna et al 2000). In a heavily populated and industrialized area of the Oporto coast (NW Portugal), Leal et al (1997) reported Hg values in Enteromorpha spp.…”
