“…Concentrations of heavy metals in seagrass, Z. capricorni were significantly higher in Cockle Bay (the polluted location) compared to control locations, reflecting the corresponding concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments of Lake Macquarie recorded in the previous studies (Spurway 1982;Roy and Crawford 1984;Batley 1987;Peters et al 1999b;Kirby et al 2001;Roach 2005). This result is in line with other studies of the relationships between metal levels in the environment and in seagrasses (Brix et al 1983;Ward 1987;Ward 1989;Malea et al 1994;Sanchiz et al 2000;Campanella et al 2001;Filho et al 2004).…”

“…Choice of sampling locations was based on the previous studies about heavy metal concentrations in the sediment of Lake Macquarie (Spurway 1982;Roy and Crawford 1984;Batley 1987;Peters et al 1999b;Kirby et al 2001;Roach 2005). We sampled in one polluted location (Cockle Bay), which had the highest concentration of heavy metals in the sediment, and six relatively clean locations (Fennel Bay, Killaben Bay, Wangi-Eraring Bay, Myuna Bay, Bonnels Bay, and Wyee Bay) ( Figure 1).…”

“…Nos ecossistemas aquáticos, os invertebrados bentônicos são uma importante fonte de selênio para os peixes (PETERS et al., 1999) uma vez que estes organismos habitam o sedimento, a principal fonte de selênio para a teia trófica aquática (BOWIE et al., 1998).…”

“…Porém, uma variedade de parâmetros abióticos e bióticos pode influir na eficiência com que os organismos aquáticos acumulam os metais pesados e o selênio em seus tecidos e órgãos (REINFELDER et al., 1998). A concentração de selênio nos detritos orgânicos dos sedimentos é mais importante para a contaminação da cadeia alimentar aquática do que a concentração de selênio dissolvido na coluna d'água (PETERS et al., 1999). Estudos vêm mostrando que a contaminação dos sistemas aquáticos por selênio pode causar sérios danos à biota, inclusive deformações e a mortalidade de peixes (GILLESPIE; BAUMANN, 1986).…”

“…Such longevity enhances a contaminant's bioconcentration and bioaccumulation in biota (e.g. Hawker & Connell 1986, Connell 1988, Weis & Weis 1992, Munoz et al 1996, Peters et al 1999, Ruus et al 1999, Dang Duc Nhan et al 2001, Fisk et al 2001, Lawrence & Mason 2001, Senthilkumar et al 2001, Scheifler et al 2002a,b, Weltje et al 2002, Hursthouse et al 2003, Van der Oost et al 2003. Currently, bioconcentration and passage of pollutants through food webs is interpreted as solute-phase diffusional uptake in all trophic-level interactions (e.g.…”
