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...
