Trace metals in Thais clavigera along coastal waters of the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia

The selected trace metals in the soft tissue of Thais clavigera from 11 sampling sites along the coastal waters of the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia were studied. Significant inter-spatial variations in trace metals were recorded. Sites with relatively high concentrations of the contaminant meta...
