Heavy metals in marine sediments, water and fish of single buoy moorings (SBM3), Mina Al Fahal, Sultanate of Oman

This is the first study for the analysis of heavy metal in marine sediments, seawater and fish at Single Buoy Mooring (SBM3) in the Mina Al Fahal of Sultanate of Oman. For the purpose of establishing baseline, as well as the assessment of marine contamination due to heavy metals, in sediments, seawa...
