“…The zinc concentrations recorded in our study for C. nodosa exceeded the background level for non-contaminated areas in stations BW and PW (Moore & Ramamoorthy, 1984). In these stations zinc and lead levels in different parts of the plant were higher than in other studies previously published (Capone, Mascia, Porcu, & Tagliasacchi-Masala, 1983;Prange & Dennison, 2000;Sanchiz, García-Carrascosa, & Pastor, 2000). The highest Zn concentration in the three plant fractions studied at all the study sites, except BW station, was located in the leaf material.…”

“…In the thalli of U. flexuosa species from the Fiji Islands, the concentrations of Pb were reported to range between < 5 and 62 μg g -1 (TABUDRAVU et al, 2002). High concentrations of Pb (± 28.4 μg g -1 ) have also been discovered by CAPONE et al (1983) in the tubular Ulva thalli collected from lagoons in Sardinia. HORNUNG et al (1992) have found concentrations of Pb reaching 12.6 μg g -1 in the thalli of U. compressa from the Mediterranean Sea coast in Israel.…”

Research PaperBioaccumulation of alkaline soil metals (Ca, Mg) and heavy metals (Cd, Ni, Pb) patterns expressed by freshwater species of Ulva (Wielkopolska, Poland) key words: Ulva, Enteromorpha, heavy metals, freshwater, macroalgae AbstractThe paper includes results of the first study on the accumulation of selected metals in freshwater populations of Ulva taxa at 16 sites in Poland. The thalli examined contained very high concentrations of Ca and Mg, owing to well-developed surface incrustations of carbonate. Among the heavy metals investigated, the most significant concentration in the thalli was Ni, whereas the lowest was Pb. The median concentrations of Ni and Cd in the freshwater Ulva thalli were significantly higher than those reported in the available literature for marine taxa of the same genus. Several statistically significant correlations were found when the concentrations of different metals in the thalli and the water were analysed.

“…Heavy metal contents measured in zooplankton samples were compared with corresponding reports from several authors: Martin and Knauer (1973) for Monterrey Bay, California, USA; Capone et al (1983) for Sardinia, Italy; Van Duyn-Henderson and Lasenby (1986) for Southern Ontario, Canada; Rainbow (1989) for North-Eastern Atlantic ( Table 2). The measured values should be considered as the background zooplankton levels from the evaluated coastal area, but the mean concentration for several elements (i.e., Pb, Fe, Mn) (Table 1) suggests that this area is receiving allochtonous metal inputs from anthropogenic origin.…”

Total zooplankton samples from Argentinian and Uruguayan Coastal Waters were analysed to determine their heavy metal contents. Zinc, copper, cadmium, iron, lead and manganese concentrations were measured using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and metal content distributions were geographically plotted. Except for cadmium, all the studied metals showed maximum values on the Uruguayan shores, and this was related not only to the location of the potential metal sources, but also to the hydrographical characteristics of the area. Finally, the suitability of zooplankton as an adequate biological indicator of heavy metal pollution in coastal environments is discussed.
