Abstract

Urbanised embayments worldwide are increasingly affected by anthropogenic release of metals and other contaminants into their surrounding waters, posing risks to both marine and human health. This study assessed metal bioaccumulation and associated sublethal effects in the benthic fish Platycephalus bassensis across eight sites in Port Phillip Bay, Australia. Metal concentrations were quantified i…
