Abstract:The bioaccumulation of nonessential elements (Al, As, Cd, & Pb) in shrimps and mussels from southeastern Brazil (21°S–23°S) were compared. The objective was to verify and confirm the differential responses of elemental assimilation at both the taxonomic and spatial level. Two hypotheses were predicted: i) shrimps have lower element concentrations than mussels, and ii) both shrimps and mussels from the highly polluted site have higher element concentrations. The results confirmed the first hypothesis. The i… Show more
