Heavy metal distribution in organic and siliceous marine sponge tissues measured by square wave anodic stripping voltammetry
May sponge spicules represent a “tank” to accumulate heavy metals? In this study we test this hypothesis determining the distribution of Cd, Pb and Cu concentrations between organic and siliceous tissues in Antarctic Demospongia (Sphaerotylus antarcticus, Kirkpatrikia coulmani and Haliclona sp.) and...
