Journal ArticleDOI
Accumulation of trace metals in the muscle and liver tissues of five fish species from the Persian Gulf.
TL;DR: The results confirmed that fish muscle and liver tissues appeared to be good bio-indicators for identification of coastal areas exposed to metallic contaminants and showed that the element levels in the muscles of all fishes in this study were lower than the maximum allowable concentrations and pose no threat to public health, except for arsenic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linearity of calibration curves: use and misuse of the correlation coefficient
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of cadmium cali- bration curves from atomic absorp- tion spectroscopy were assessed for their linearity and the results showed that a straight-line model with a high correlation coefficient, but with a lack of fit, yields signifi- cantly less accurate results than its curvilinear alternative.
Journal ArticleDOI
234Th sorption and export models in the water column: A review
Nicolas Savoye,Claudia R. Benitez-Nelson,Adrian B. Burd,J. Kirk Cochran,Matthew A. Charette,Ken O. Buesseler,George A. Jackson,Matthieu Roy-Barman,Sabine Schmidt,Marc Elskens +9 more
TL;DR: Waples et al. as discussed by the authors reviewed current 234Th scavenging models and discussed the relative importance of the non-steady state and physical terms associated with the most commonly used model to estimate 234Th flux.
Book ChapterDOI
Metabolism and functions of glutathione in micro-organisms.
Michel Penninckx,Marc Elskens +1 more
TL;DR: GSH plays an important role in cellular protection during chemical stresses in spite of the fact that key enzymes of detoxification, such as GSH peroxidase and GSH S-transferase, remain at a low level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioconcentration and Biomagnification of Mercury and Methylmercury in North Sea and Scheldt Estuary Fish
Willy Baeyens,Martine Leermakers,T Papina,A Saprykin,Natacha Brion,J Noyen,M. De Gieter,Marc Elskens,Leo Goeyens +8 more
TL;DR: Taking fish length into account, a statistically significant difference in contamination level was observed for species sampled from the different geographical zones, and for each of the Belgian coastal zone four species, a weak positive correlation between Hg content and fish length was found.
