Assesment of heavy metals in Razor clams (Solen spp) collected from Asajaya Laut, Kota Samarahan
This study was carried out to determine the concentration of heavy metals in razor clams at Asajaya Laut. Sediment samples and water samples were also coJlected during the sampling. Sediment samples and razor clams were collected from 9 stations at three different tidal zones. Analysis of Co, Cu, Mn...
