Bioaccumulation of some metals by Green mussel Perna viridis (Linnaeus 1758) from Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia
A study was conducted to determine the bioaccumulation of some essential and non-essential heavy metals by the soft tissue of Perna viridis (Green mussel) collected from Pekan, Pahang during November 2009. A total of fifty individuals of Green lipped mussel P. viridis (Family: Mytilidae) were sample...
