Spatial Variability of Heavy Metals in Native Oysters From an Anthropogenically Impacted Estuary in Northeastern Brazil

This brief research compares the bioconcentration of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, and Zn) in the soft tissues of native oysters Crassostrea rhizophorae (Guilding, 1828) from two areas in the Potengi estuary, northeastern coast of Brazil. The purpose was to test the hypotheses of relevant differ...
