| trace metal levels in prochilodus lineatus collected from the la plata river, argentina. | most of the industrial, urban and sewage discharges are released into the la plata river, argentina without any previous treatment. however, few works have investigated the extent of metal contamination. the aim of this study was to assess the levels of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc in liver and gills of adults prochilodus lineatus collected from three sampling stations along the coast of the la plata river: berazategui, berisso and atalaya (from north to south). samplings were performed during ... | 2010 | 19058019 |
| bioaccumulation of anthropogenic contaminants by detritivorous fish in the río de la plata estuary: 1-aliphatic hydrocarbons. | the temporal variability and bioaccumulation dynamics of c(12-25)n-alkanes, isoprenoids and unresolved aliphatic hydrocarbons (ucm) were studied in a detritivorous fish (sábalo: prochilodus lineatus) collected from 1999 to 2005 in the sewage impacted buenos aires coastal area. fish muscles contain huge amounts of n-c(12-25) (165+/-93, 70+/-48 or 280+/-134 microg g(-1), dry, fresh and lipid weight, respectively) and ucm (931+/-560, 399+/-288 and 1,567+/-802 microg g(-1)) reflecting the chronic bi ... | 2007 | 17363033 |
