A Study on the Processes of Distribution, Accumulation and Transfer of Copper (Cu) in the Organisms of Fishes
Journal Title: Ecologia Balkanica - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
By applying mathematical approaches we studied the distribution of copper in organs and tissues of [i]Alburnus alburnus[/i] and [i]Perca fluviatilis[/i] from "Topolnitsa” Dam Lake. A deposit of the metal in the kidneys and liver was recorded. We found out that the surveyed species are macroconcentrators of cadmium and zinc and there is a process biomagnification of heavy metals in the trophic levels.
