Bioaccumulation and toxicity of copper in outdoor freshwater microcosms

This study characterizes the effects of copper (Cu) on Florida apple snails ( Pomacea paludosa) and mosquito fish ( Gambusia affinis) using a replicated outdoor microcosm design. Soils used in this study were collected from two Cu-enriched citrus agricultural sites in South Florida (Agler property (...
