Bioaccumulation of Iron, Zinc, Cadmium and Chromium by Juvenile Snail Limicolaria aurora J., Fed Edible Mushroom Pleurotus spp from Niger Delta, Nigeria

Bioaccumulation of Iron, Zinc, Cadmium and Chromium by Juvenile Snail Limicolaria aurora J., Fed Edible Mushroom Pleurotus spp from Niger Delta, Nigeria

The effects of uptake of metals (iron, zinc, cadmium and chromium) by juvenile snail Limicolaria aurora fed edible mushroom Pleurotus spp from 3 contaminated farm sites and a laboratory grown species (control) respectively were investigated. The 120 snails were fed in plastic snaileries for 4 weeks...

Zusammenfassung:The effects of uptake of metals (iron, zinc, cadmium and chromium) by juvenile snail Limicolaria aurora fed edible mushroom Pleurotus spp from 3 contaminated farm sites and a laboratory grown species (control) respectively were investigated. The 120 snails were fed in plastic snaileries for 4 weeks in the laboratory. Control site was risk free. Metal uptake was low and bioaccumulation in L. aurora tissue was below FAO/WHO standard of 1 mg/kg for chromium and cadmium. Snails were considered safe for consumption.
