BIOACCUMULATION FACTOR FROM SEDIMENT TO FLESH BETWEEN TWO GASTROPODS

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF BIOACCUMULATION FACTOR (FROM SEDIMENT TO FLESH) BETWEEN TWO GASTROPODS (Tympanotonus fuscatus, Egeria radiata) FROM THE LOWER CROSS RIVER SYSTEM

ABSTRACT Using standard method of analysis, bioaccumulation  factor of gastropods from Ayadeghe beach showed T. fuscatus. Zn(0.73) >Ni (0.60) >Cr (0.19) >Cd(0.07) > Pb(nil); E. radiata; Zn (0.33) > Cd(0.07) >Cr (0.06) > Ni (0.03) > Pb (Nil). Zn was noticed to have highest B.F and all the value were below 1. Heavy metal pollution
