Persistent organic pollutants in mangrove food webs in Singapore

High Turbidity Affects Filtration Rate and Pseudofaeces Production of the Mud Clam Polymesoda erosa (Solander 1876) (Bivalvia: Corbiculidae)

“…The processing of suspended materials in the water column carried out by suspension filter feeders was significant in assessing trophic relationships in freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystems (Prins 1996, Espinosa 2008, Manganaro 2009, Sarikhani & Javanshir 2010, Mamun & Khan 2011. This study suggested that natural population of in Loay-Loboc River was resilient in their environment, which agreed to experiments conducted by Yap and Mohd Azri (2009) and by Bayen . (2005).…”

Exposure Assessment to Persistent Organic Pollutants in Wildlife: The Case Study of Coatzacoalcos, Veracruz, Mexico

“…were not in reproductive stage. Bayen et al, (2005) a study was conducted in a Singapure's mangrove swamp where a thropic web was established and the thunder crab (Myomenippe hardwicki) was one of the species presenting high concentrations of POPs. Falandysz et al, (2001) also used crabs (Carcinus means) to evaluate the exposure to organochlorine pesticides.…”
