Heavy metals (Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd) in water and body tissues of young Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in two rivers of different pollution level: A comparison with fish condition parameters
Relationship between priority heavy metal (Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd) concentration in water, their content in main body tissues (gills, liver, kidneys and muscle) and condition parameters [condition factor (CF), branchio-, hepato-, reno- and viscero-somatic indices (BSI, HSI, RSI and VSI), respectivel...
