Correlations between speciation of Zn in sediment and Zn concentrations in different soft tissues of the gastropod Mollusc Telescopium telescopium collected from intertidal areas of Peninsular Malaysia

The aim of this study was to relate the Zn level in the different tissues of Telescopium telescopium to the Zn levels of surface sediment of the gastropod habitat. Zn concentrations were determined in the different soft tissues (foot, cephalic tentacle, mantle, muscle, gill, digestive caecum and rem...
