| Abstract: | The 96 h LC50 value of copper and zinc was
8ppm and 12ppm respectively for Clibanarius longitarsus. Based on
the LC50 value, three sublethal concentrations were chosen for individual
exposure in each metal. Pattern of accumulation of heavy metals in the tissues
of C. longitarsus noticed in the
laboratory was similar to what was observed in the environment: hepatopancreas
> ovary > muscle (exposed to both the metals–copper and zinc). Further, increased
uptake of metals by tissues was recorded with increase in the test
concentrations. |
