CONCENTRATIONS OF HEAVY METALS IN THE TISSUES OF TROUT SALMO TRUTTA AND CHAR SALVELINUS ALPINUS FROM TWO LAKES IN NORTH WALES
Comparison was made of the zinc, iron, manganese and copper content of five tissues of brown trout Salmo trutta L. and char Salvelinus alpinus L. from two oligotrophic lakes in North Wales. Tissue metal concentrations were not related to fish growth parameters ineither species. None of the metals we...
