TOXIC EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT LONG TERM ZINC CONCENTRATIONS ON THEn ACCUMULATION IN MUSCLES, VISCERAL ORGAN AND GILLS OF JUVENILES OF Solean solea L., 1758

摘要

The present study focused on the uptake and toxicity of Zn in Solea solea. Laboratory studies were performed where metal content, were measured as a response to exposure to nominal concentrations of 0.01, 0.1 and 0.5 mg/L of zinc salts (ZnCl2) for 60 days. The levels of Zn accumulated in edible tissues and gills of S. solea correlated well to exposure concentrations and the greater the uptake. Significant accumulations were observed in muscle Zn levels at the 0.5 mg/L treatment in comparison to
