evaluation of tropical water sources and mollusks in southern brazil using microbiological, biochemical, and chemical parameters.	florianópolis, a city located in the santa catarina state in southern brazil, is the national leading producer of bivalve mollusks. the quality of bivalve mollusks is closely related to the sanitary conditions of surrounding waters where they are cultivated. presently, cultivation areas receive large amounts of effluents derived mainly from treated and non-treated domestic, rural, and urban sewage. this contributes to the contamination of mollusks with trace metals, pesticides, other organic com ...	2012	22036209
