Dependence of element composition of bile of freshwater and marine fishes on some abiotic and biotic factors
Introduction The elemental composition and physical properties of fish bile is a very important marker for ecotoxicological and physiological studies as bile is able to accumulate elements from environmental compartments. In the present study we focused on the effects of long term (seasons and years...
