Metal and metalloid concentration, distribution and accumulation in embryonic tissues of the batoid Sympterygia acuta
Abstract
A few studies have assessed the environmental contamination in elasmobranch embryos, remarkably oviparous species. In this study, we evaluated the concentration of 10 metals and As in embryos of the critically endangered Bignose Fanskate Sympterygia acuta, and the distribution and accumulation pattern of these elements in embryonic tissues. Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn concentrations were determined in egg capsules, homogenized …
