Bioaccumulation of mercury and its effect on protein metabolism of the water hyacinth weevil Neochetina eichhornae (Warner)

Research was initiated to study the bioaccumulation of mercury through the food chain in the water hyacinth weevil, Neochetina eichhornae, and its impact on protein metabolism. A concentration-dependent accumulation of Hg in water hyacinth leaves was documented over a one-week period. At the 25 ppm...
