Copper and zinc in commonly consumed bivalves from Pantai Remis Jeram, Selangor, Malaysia

Four commonly consumed bivalves in Pantai Remis Jeram, Selangor, were evaluated for heavy metals concentration. Bivalve species were included cockle (Anadara granosa), clams (Pholas orientalis, Fragnum unedo and Donax faba), which are locally known as kerang, mentarang, kepah and lala respectively....
