- W2316340885 abstract "A comparative metal analysis was carried to determine the deposition and composition of metals in the soft tissues of freshwater bivalves; Anodonta anatina, A. marginata and A. implicata, and to establish their role as the possible routes to which metallic elements may get into the food chain. Collections of molluscs were made from four different sites along the bank and substratum of the lake, every two months from July 2011 to June 2012. Prepared soft tissues of the bivalves were digested by wet chemical method and subjected to multi-element analysis using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis. Nineteen metallic elements were analysed in the soft tissues of the bivalves, with some of the metals occurring below detectable limits. There was significantly variation (P 0.05) from the other two species. Chemically, the transition metals were higher in number of elements and concentrations with the metalloids having the least concentrations. Six of the metals from the bivalves (Mn, As, Cr, Fe, Co and Zn) are heavy metals. The concentrations of Mn, K, As, Fe, and Ba varied in the bivalves. High concentrations of Mn, K and Zn have been observed in this study. Highly significant positive and negative interactions were observed among the heavy metals. The significant variation in the concentrations of the metals shows that the different metals accumulate differently in the soft tissues of the bivalves. The high tolerance of metal load shown by these molluscs could be indicative of an adaptation to metal pollution. Such high concentrations of the heavy metals could be physiologically detrimental and impair their ecological roles in the Lake ecosystem. This study has shown that the bivalves showed similarity in the type of metals they accumulate and therefore could be used as reliable bio-indicators of metal pollution in the Lake and could serve as routes by which these metals could get to higher trophic levels of the food chain." @default.
