Heavy metals in sediment, water and the European glass eel, Anguilla anguilla (Osteichthyes: Anguillidae), from Loukkos River estuary (Morocco, eastern Atlantic)

Comparisons of metal concentrations (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cr, Pb and Cd) were made in sediment and water with those in tissues of glass eel (Anguilla anguilla Linnaeus, 1758) collected in five stations from Loukkos estuary (Morocco, eastern Atlantic). Concentrations of selected metals were measured using an...
