Autores: Velcheva Iliana G, Nikolov Bogdan N

Resumen

By applying mathematical approaches we studied the distribution of copper in organs and tissues of Alburnus alburnus and Perca fluviatilis from Topolnitsa Dam Lake. A deposit of the metal in the kidneys and liver was recorded. We found out that the surveyed species are macroconcentrators of cadmium and zinc and there is a process biomagnification of heavy metals in the trophic levels.

Palabras clave: Pices Alburnus alburnus Perca fluviatilis heavy metals transfer.
