| Abstract: | A regression model is proposed for studying the relationship between trace metals concentrations and weights of individuals
of Monodonta turbinata (Born), a gastropod mollusc used as a trace metal biomonitor of marine coastal areas. The model herein presented was developed
including sites as reference factors and showed very good correlations. The prevision model of contamination gave good results
for this kind of pollutants, and it can be used as a tool for monitoring programmes. |
