Mercury impact and mitigation studies

Current concepts of metal metabolism have been reviewed with a view to understanding the factors that influence the uptake, storage, detoxication and elimination of essential and pollutant trace metals in aquatic organisms. Particular emphasis has been given to estuarine and coastal biota, which are more at risk from metal pollution.
