Spatiotemporal distribution of arsineic species of oysters (Crassostrea gigas) in the coastal area of southwestern Taiwan
This study investigated total arsenic (As) and As species contents of oysters (Crassostrea gigas) in different production areas, seasons and sea locations on the southwestern coast of Taiwan. Analytical results indicate that contents of total As, arsenite, arsenate, dimethylarsinic acid, monomethyla...
