elemental distribution in seaweed, gelidium abbottiorum along the kwazulu-natal coastline, south africa. | the total concentrations of 7 selected metals, namely manganese, iron, zinc, titanium, boron, arsenic and mercury, were monitored for one annual cycle covering four seasons in the seaweed, gelidium abbottiorum, at four sampling sites at zinkwasi, ballito, treasure beach and park rynie along the south-east coastline of kwazulu-natal, south africa to assess the current status of the marine environment. inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometry, mercury cold vapour aas, and hydr ... | 2006 | 16835117 |
seaweeds along kwazulu-natal coast of south africa--4: elemental uptake by edible seaweed caulerpa racemosa (sea grapes) and the arsenic speciation. | the elemental uptake by edible seaweed caulerpa racemosa (sea grapes), a marine macroalgae (chlorophyta, green alga) grown richly along kwazulu-natal coastline. the total concentrations of seven elements, namely mn, fe, as, b, ti, zn and hg in caulerpa racemosa were monitored for a one-year cycle (june 2002 to may 2003) at four selected sampling sites spread over 150 km wide from north to south. the c. racemosa possess high arsenic, boron and titanium accumulating ability, but low iron uptake. a ... | 2006 | 16854796 |
