Accumulation of heavy metals in seagrass (Halodule pinifolia and Halophila minor) in Setiu Wetland, Terengganu
In this study the metal uptake by two species of seagrasses, Halodule pinfolia and Halophila minor, from the Setiu lagoon was studied by carrying out a monitoring survey of the metal contents in the seagrasses in the lagoon and their bioaccumulation capacity and resultant toxicity investigated by...

| 總結: | In this study the metal uptake by two species of seagrasses, Halodule pinfolia and
Halophila minor, from the Setiu lagoon was studied by carrying out a monitoring survey
of the metal contents in the seagrasses in the lagoon and their bioaccumulation capacity
and resultant toxicity investigated by carrying out laboratory sediment toxicity
experiments. The aims of this study were: (i) To study the accumulation of metals in
Halodule pinfolia and Halophila minor) towards selected metals (copper, zinc, lead and cadmium) in the Setiu lagoon., (ii) to determine the accumulation of heavy metals in the leaves and rhizomes - root system of the two seagrass species, (iii) To determine the accumulation of heavy metals in the sediments and seagrass tissues from artificially contaminated sediments. |
