摘要:In this paper an ovierview of concentrations of toxic metals in bivalves from the region of Mali Ston Bay are shown, as well as an overview of the same, however, from other geographical regions. Sampling is conducted during various time periods. The concentrations of investigated toxins in bivalves of Mali Ston Bay do not exceed those regulated by law. However, there appears to be a need for more detailed understanding of areal and temporal distribuition of particular metals as well as continuous monitoring of their concentrations in bivalve tissue.
