Abstract:
Copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) concentrations in water and zooplankton were studied along the central west coast of India to assess spatial and temporal variations. The water and zooplankton samples were collected during different seasons. They were subjected to AAS to know the metal concentrations. Results showed that zinc showed higher concentrations at the study sites while cadmium showed the least content. Anthropogenic sources did not seem to significantly influence the metal concentrations in water and zooplankton.
