    Mangrove macroalgae as biomonitors of heavy metal contamination in a tropical estuary, Malaysia
    (Springer, 2017) Md Masum Billah; Abu Hena Mustafa Kamal; Mohd Hanafi Idris; Johan Ismail
    Until recently, there have been only few published reports concerning the use of mangrove macroalgae as biomonitors to assess the estuarine metal contamination. Therefore, the present study was an effort to investigate the biomonitoring of metal contamination using mangrove macroalgae in the tropical Miri estuary of Sarawak, Malaysia. The metal concentrations (Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn) were determined in the surface sediments, estuarine water, and six dominant macroalgae species that epiphytically grow on mangrove pneumatophores.
