Trace metals in limpets (Patella sp) from the coast of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (Canary Islands)
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 48(1).
As a part of a monitoring program of the coast of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands, limpets were chosen for analysis because they are almost sedentary, widely distributed and concentrate heavy metals. They are also important as food in these islands. For this reason, they were not subjected to purification prior to analysis nor were they taxonomically identified. However, limpets found in the Canary Islands belong to the Patella candei candei, Patella candei crenata, Patella piperata and Patella ulisiponensis species. The relationship between trace metal contents and wet body weight of limpets are examined, as well as the intermetallic relationships for a wide range of limpets collected at three locations along the coast of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
