Abstract:For the humankind, water quality of natural resources is the most important and freshwater molluscs are used as bioindicators for the evaluation of water quality in biomonitoring studies. Viviparus contectus (Viviparidae: Gastropoda) is a species freshwater snail and consumed by people. Herein, the concentrations of heavy metals heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Pb, As, Zn and Cu) were measured in water and Viviparus contectus samples. The water quality (temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen) were seasonally determined in … Show more
